I sostantivi italiani più comuni – Casa e oggetti

When spring arrives, I often use the balcony and I make it more welcoming. I put a small table and I put two chairs, so I can have breakfast outside. In the evening, I bring an outdoor lamp and I turn on a soft light.

If I have guests, we go up to the terrace and talk until late. From up there we look at the roof and see the city lights. Then we go back inside and close the patio door for silence.

To avoid losing documents, I keep a paper folder near the entrance. I put receipts and notes inside, and I also put a small card with useful numbers. When something is needed, I open the right drawer and find it right away.

If I do not find it, I check the cupboard again and then I check the shelf again. This way the apartment stays tidy and I stay calm. In the end the house works better, because everything has its place.

On moving day, the hallway was full. Everyone walked slowly. We took the sofa in the elevator. For the table, we used the stairs. Each time we opened the door, we went through, and we closed it again quickly. We did not want to block the way.

In the apartment, we moved chairs and boxes from one room to another. We put up the wardrobe. Then we checked the drawers and the shelves. In the end, we breathed out. The house was a mess. But it was a mess we could handle.

At the end of the day, I come back and I close the door. I leave the hallway tidy. In the living room, I turn off the lamp and I tidy the sofa. I put away a few things left on the table. In the kitchen, I check the fridge and the oven. Then I clean and I close everything.

In the bathroom, I leave the towel and the soap in their place. I check that the toilet is clean. In the bedroom, I tidy the bed and the pillow. I lower the curtain and I close the window. Then I adjust the radiator or the air conditioner. Finally, I sleep.
