Hi love,
How are you doing? I'm so happy to be here. We arrived two days ago and we're busy bees because there's so much interesting information around.
As I told you, we're living in a pretty house. We share the household chores and there's no problem to cook, clean or anything else. Well, to be honest, we've got a sort of issue with rubbish and recycling.
The landlord left a poster with recycling info (in Spanish) and it seems easy but we don't want to put a foot wrong. You know, we're new kids in town, ha ha!
Can you help me, sweetheart?
xoxo
Kathleen
PS  I attach the poster
