When I got back home yesterday, after I put down my new vacuums cleaner’s dripping cardboard box (it did resist the downpour pretty well, hurray for modern packing technology), I was really surprised that no blog was talking about the woman I’d seen thrown into the air by a Smart car on Boulevard de Sébastopol. I mean, come on, a person may be dead there, why isn’t anyone interested? Ah, those bloggers, as soon as it’s not about them they just couldn’t care less…

What do you mean, it’s up to me to blog it, and nobody else could do it for me? Well, okay then, there you go: if you’re looking for a vacuum cleaner for a small Paris apartment, I can recommend the Daewoo RC 4008 B, 80€ at Conforama; I’ll certainly have to empty the container or change the bag (you can use it both ways) often, because it looks rather small, but it’s really silent. And considering how physically close I am to my neighbors, that’s a pretty good thing.
