Mmm. Nice weekend. Linda and I have a very bad influence on each other, so we both need to go on a diet now, but who cares?
Major accomplishment this weekend: Have been planning to get a sofa for months (since November, in fact), but have been hampered with the idea of getting a fold-out one from IKEA (trying to remember the name of the one I want, but can’t). Finally realised that not only have I not got 8000 nok to spend on a sofa, there would not actually be room to fold it out anyway. So I made a decision to try to find a second-hand one. Preferably a cheap one. Preferably one that could be delivered (cruical point, as, though I am getting somewhat used to climbing up five flights of stairs to get home, I am not up to carrying a sofa up the same stairs). Linda and I checked out a second-hand store on Saturday and found a sofa which was the sort of thing I was looking for, but a little more expensive than I could have wished, so I said I’d think about it. Sunday we went to a flea-market and found the perfect thing. Probably a fifties or so model (though it’s hard to tell), it’s been reupholstered very neatly at some point, and in what seems to be a very durable material (judging from how little worn it looks). The material is in one of my favourite colours, a sort of blueish sea green. And it is soooooo comfy. Not to mention having a sofa at all is such a nice change from just an armchair (I’m of the “legs off the floor” persuasion). And sofa including delivery came to 500 nok, and the money going to a good cause at that.
Music in my head: It might as well rain until September (and at the moment it looks like it will, too)
