Aha! But the good stuff!
Turns out that in the end, I didn’t have such a bad day. I submit, as evidence, my day summed up in dodgy bullet point form:
- I managed an unexpected trip to Ikea with my mum at the last moment, which resulted in me getting some shelves, some lamp shades and other misc that the house needs (photos forthcoming!). I tried to buy a chest of drawers (my current chest of drawers is a fun little number that tilts forward to crush you under its mighty bulk every time you dare try to open a drawer, which has resulted in me opting to keep all my clothes on my floor lest I be crushed like a bug), but it turned out that after all the looking and thinking and discussing and selecting and finding and lugging and moving and seeking….that they were out of stock.
BUGGER!
On the bright side, this gives me some more time to look about at Ikea hacks (I have some ideas of my own, but it’s great to see what else is out there!) before making my final purchase. Plus, in my mind, a second trip to Ikea is never an entirely bad thing.

I love weather. Any weather, not just good weather.
I especially love hot summers where it’s scalding hot and sunny, then it comes over all dark and stormy and wild.

As far as I’m concerned, the more weather that fits into a day the better. Err…..within reason. I don’t, for instance, want to wake up up to my eyeballs in snow only to have fireballs rain down and set my snow on fire by afternoon. Thanks for asking. [Read more →]
