Fiona's Quiet Life

It has been an odd mix­ture these last three days.??Saturday ?night found me help­ing him upstairs with his ward­robes , the? boxes con­tain­ing them were delivered some time ago and he demol­ished his old one? but had not got round to? get­ting the new one in so? we set about it on Fri­day even­ing, got one bit up per­fectly but got stuck on the corner cup­board so? off we went to Ikea to pho­to­graph the way they had done it and? it was not­ing like the? draw­ings in the instruc­tion? leaf­let. by which time we were hungry and ikea’s res­taur­ant was closed? so we went to xscape and had a Chinese buf­fet? sit­ting at a win­dow over­look­ing the indoor ?ski slope ( real snow).? went back put the corner one together then gave up and watched a video of ’ The Great Labow­ski’ excel­lent film. his dogs fought over toys and got in the way

He got his friend Allan to help him yes­ter­day? as i? was hav­ing lunch in the peoples palace? winter garden with? Clair and Chris, scrummy baked potato, won­der­ful daft? museum is the peoples palace excel­lent for chil­dren as they do not frown on? touch­ing things.

glad Allan was doing the work? as they were stuck when i got back a 4 p.m. due to the house being a wee bit squinty with age, but they fixed it and? him upstairs cooked some? sup­per and i brought the wine. there are no doors on his ward­robes yet .…that may be tonight’s job.

i have been so busy mourn­ing my Basil that i hadn’t got round to mourn­ing my mother, then sud­denly yes­ter­day? i got deeply upset and had a good cry.

today i braved the post office queues and the minus? 1 tem­per­at­ure to post off the last of the presents, so feel­ing vir­tu­ous. now all i need is the after­math of this cold to get bet­ter? and all will be well.
