I went to IKEA today. They've opened one up a couple of miles away and it's megamassivissimo. I got about 1/3 of the way through the place before my brain revolted and refused to take in any more. Talk about in-store butchery! And they've put the bike stands about 100 yards from the entrance. Plus, they had no herring in mustard sauce.
You want to try living with a Swede !

I lived with a half-Swedish half-Danish woman for a couple of years, so I have experience there. I left her for a French woman and she married a guy I used to gig with. Frenchie left me for an estate agent and I've never recovered.

I lived with a Finnish girl for a few years so that's how I was introduced to Ikea and Swedish Meatballs.

I'm sat here eating hot buttered crumpets with lashings of jam, and a nice, :cuppa: night all.

The car goes in for its MOT & service tomrrow. I've just put a bike in the boot so I can get home from the dealers, saving all of £5 on a train ticket.
Every little helps
Especially at main dealer prices :eek:
Car dropped off and home by 9am - it would have been earlier, but I took a slight diversion to enjoy the tail wind. After a mug of coffee and, in a remarkable feat of co-ordination (for a male), the following was completed just before the dealers phoned to let me know the car was ready for collection
Bedding changed and the old items put in to wash
Ironing done from the weekend's washing (mostly work uniform)
Washing completed and put out on the line to dry
Vacuumed upstairs & downstairs
Cleaned the kitchen windows (inside), back door glass (2 large panels), inside shed window
Steam mopped the kitchen floor
Cleaned the rest of the windows inside the house & all the ground floor outside windows while the kithchen floor dried
Got the dried bedding in, folded it & put it away
Then rode back to collect the car.
Glad I've also got Tuesday off work as I need a rest!
