YES - it appears that I have been rather lazy AGAIN! and not written anything. I have been busy, finding a flat, moving in, going to England for a week, and then just working like a crazy thing for my new job. I've also managed 2 trips to IKEA (yes - they have it here - and not surprisingly it is IDENTICAL to Europe - how boring.) It amuses me that people all flock to the store, apparently to just 'hang out' and sit on nice sofas for a chat, and take photos of nice bedroom set ups and portraits of their kids sitting in 'trendy' furniture.
last weekend, I blasted round the store in true native style, scattering my fellow shoppers as if it were a supermarket sweep. Having spent the last few years of my life surrounded by IKEA furniture and accessories, i am truly sick of the place and have made a pact with Mr V. to NEVER BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF FURNITURE THERE! This vow excludes kitchen accessories, cushions and bedding, all of which i was desperatly in need of and do not cast any shadows on my life. the fact that most rental appartments of any decency here are fully IKEA furnished, is an unavoidable hazzard. My hope is that I need never increase the pain by purchasing any more.
more soon,
