Another early day today and another case of not sleeping terribly well and feeling rough.<\/p>\n\n
We had to be over at the new house by 10:00 to meet a guy from a furniture shop, who was coming to view the place and give us some advice. He’s now making some drawings for us and making suggestions about how to furnish the dining area and living room.<\/p>\n\n
He’s returning next Tuesday with a dining room table and chairs, at which point we’ll probably order our own table and chairs from him. There’s a good chance we’ll also end up ordering our main couch through him, although that may have to wait until next year.<\/p>\n\n
Anyway, after he had departed, we returned to the old house and, shortly thereafter, drove to IKEA<\/a> in the Greenwheels car. We bought a bunch of small things, including some emergency lighting to compensate for the paucity of working light fittings in the house. At least we’ll now be able to find our way around in the evenings until we get some permanent lighting.<\/p>\n\n That’s all we really did today, but somehow it still took all day to do it. There’s nothing on the agenda for tomorrow, but next week will be very busy, so we’ll be enjoying the calm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another early day today and another case of not sleeping terribly well and feeling rough.
