The trouble with living alone is that it's always your turn to do the cleaning. ~Author Unknown

The trouble with living alone is that it's always your turn to do the cleaning.  ~Author Unknown.


I'm happy that I'm done cleaning the kitchen, hallway and storage room, the kitchen was the most of work. I cleaned everything, kitchen cabines inside and outside, windows from both sides, the doors. Yes, I have a plan, I'm cleaning my way from the hallway to the end of the house, the bathroom/shower I will do the last, second last the (laminate) floors. The bathroom needs a very good scrub, I haven't done that since I lived here. (woot!) When I first stepped in to the shower last year August I saw a little layer on the tiles, not much but now actually it started to annoy me. Ofcource I clean the shower after every wash up or bathing, but now it needs a 'better' scrub. 

Old fashion closests I call these... Youn can open the doors twice, once in the kitchen and once in the living room. I usually open both doors when I have the radio on while I'm in the kitchen cooking, so I can hear it better.

A clean hallway! Loving the many windows in my rooms, though it's alot of work cleaning them all.
The tiles in the shower are the same ones as in the kitchen, so when I finnished the bathroom I will do the tiles in the kitchen aswell. I think I will be done with the whole cleaning just before Easter, lol. You wouldn't believe how many windows I have, lol. I like it though so many windows, I like the way my house is equipped? shaped? I can't find the word. I was tired though after the cleaning, I took nap breaks between it cause it was needed. Oh the feeling when you wake up after a nap, lol. You just don't want to get up, you want to sleep further no matter what. I took three naps, one before the cleaning, one in between and one after. Yaaawnn! 

Dinner for tonight, simple and plain. I didn't feel much to be standing for hours in the kitchen. Potatoes covered with gravy, carrots and a smoked sausage.

I bought these nice colored bottles recently, I love these, I loved colored glass decorations. These bottles were not even 2 Euro each.
I have been looking for vollunteers work aswell, I quitted the radio and helping the young lady with her Dutch language wasn't going trough, she has already one. And the radio? Well, I don't think there's sometinh there for me what gets me busy or gets me surrounded with other people. A pity though, cause I would have liked it if there were more options at the radio, there a nice bunch of people. To be honest, I was a bit lazy and not really motivated towards them, I don't understand why, I can't explain it. But anyway on with the search, it's not that easy though, most vollunteers work has to do with children, eldery or disabled people. 


Working with children might be something for me but the eldery or disabled people can be a bit to much for me. I think aswell that it's better to find something with people of my age, or a bit younger. I'm still registered at 'Scoop,' Scoop is a service who helps you finding vollunteers work. They aswell have a site where you can find vacancies for vollunteers, I have found a vacancy this afternoon where I responded on....

"We are looking for volunteers who want to help during cooking. You are helping with cooking, grocery shopping and the dishes. There will be cooked for single people,. do you enjoy working with people and can you spare a free time once in 14 days on a Sunday?Then please respond! The dinner will be  cooked for 24 people. The food is served at 12.00." 


Sounds nice, and I was looking already for something in the weekend. Now I have to wait for Scoop's response. While waiting I will search further for the perfect vollunteers job, it's not that I would like to work more but to get more surrounded by people, specially in the weekends. Communication, having a good time surrounded by people, perhaps making new friends, ect, ect, it's all a must.
