Steam Cleaning

Some years ago our good friends told us they had bought a steam cleaner. They were very enthusiastic about how easy cleaning is.  I wish I had listened more carefully to what they told me but at that time I unfortunately just let it in one ear and out the other.  Well, you know me. Stubborn and hard head.

Last week I was absolutely fed up with all the scrubbing. Specially scrubbing under the sauna benches where I had to be down on my knees. My knees hurt and I always used to bang my head in the benches.  Then, like a lightning, I remembered our friends talking about the steam cleaner. It did not take me long to convince my husband that we must have a one.

Now, one week later I am so pleased with the cleaner. Well, at first I was a bit skeptical about not  to use any chemicals. Now I am fine with it.

The kitchen cabinet doors always have been hard to clean because the surfaces are not smooth. Such a clean result, effortlessly and practically in no time.

Even my husband is looking forward to use the steam cleaner to clean the seats in his old Volkswagen. I hope they will withstand the cleaning otherwise I’m in big trouble 😉

Searching on the net I found so many great hints and tips how to use the steam cleaner.

Catnap

Our cats on afternoon nap. Oh how cute and cosy. I went to pick my camera and then  sneaked in close to shoot a picture. Of course they noticed I was there but they were too drowsy to open their eyes. When you see them sleeping side by side like this you would not believe how they sometimes get into fighting so hard that I have to go and get them apart.

Koiramäen Pajutallilla

Ihastuin paikkaan sysksyllä käydessämme siellä.  Oli niin kaunis syyspäivä. Aurinkoi paistoi, lehdet loistivat syysväreissään, piha oli ihanasti koristettu kaikilla pajueläimillä sekä isoilla oransseilla kurpitsoilla. Kyllä, se syksyinen päivä oli todella onnistunut kaikin puolin.

Eilen käytiin sitten taas siellä. Pihassa oli vielä lunta. Kävi aika kylmä tuuli.  Onneksi aurinko paistoi lähes kirkkaansiniseltä taivaalta. Pihalla oli jo jonkunverran pajueläimiä- ja esineitä esillä. Osa eläimistä ovat vissiin esillä läpi vuoden. Väkeä oli TOSI paljon. Erityisesti lapsiperheitä. Kahvilassa oli koko ajan sen verran paljon porukka että jätettiin suosiolla kahvinjuonnit sikseen. Lapset olivat eläimistä tohkeissaan. Kuului vaan että, tuolla on hevonen, tuolla koijja (koira), peikko jne. Eräs rouva joka vierelläni myös kuvasi kurkia ilmoitti seuralaiselleen että, voi miten hän rakastaa näitä pelikaaneja 😉 Ehkä ne ovatkin pelikaaneja eikä kurkia.

Almost Spring

Hepatica Nobilis = Sinivuokko = Blåsippa

Already for some days, when walking Canelo,  I have looked for “Blåsippor”.  I was so pleased to find some today. Spring is here 🙂

Well, almost.  Still some snow.

By the way.  I took these pictures with my Olympus camera.  Our son fixed the broken battery cover using Epoxy super glue !  My new pocket camera is nice but I missed my Olympus.  Thank you dear son 🙂
