Day Four - Yesterdays sofa hunt

Today very little has happened - it is Sunday. Actually right now it is that time of the day/week so well described by Douglas Adams in [ it is either the Dark Teatime of the Soul or in The Holistic Detective Agency .. I'll find the quote and update this post ] about Sunday afternoon at 3'ish where Time itself simply stops for a few hours.

Spent yesterday with the wife looking for a new sofa. 9 out of 10 sofas have the very same look, a look we do not want. Square, with loose pillows for the back. We went through five furniture stores and I guess we looked at over 100 sofas. So there were about 10 candidates, but most failed instantly on a short sitdown in them.

We've found one sofa that we might buy but it has ghastly covering, and until the holiday season is completely finished can't seem to get a clear answer on what other covering we can get. The other minus is that we want space for six persons. This sofa is only available as a 3 person or single chair. Either we want two two person sofa and two chairs (matching) or a three, two and one combo. Two 3's wont fit and 3 chairs give too much wastage. .

Why wasn't the above written under yesterdays blog-entry? Same reason as before: Limited access. Today I am back at home, and have proper internet and pc access when I want or need it. In short, a regular daily update will be the norm.

On reflection I did do some ordinary grocery shopping and we cleaned out the fridge of leftovers and items that had gone way past the "best before day" from the christmas/Newyear gluttony, but not exactly worth blogging about.

Tomorrow the ordinary life will slowly start again.
