I noticed a moment of common sense fail whilst out at Ikea the other day with my mum. For reference they have show rooms of how to maximise your space with clever storage solutions. Often they can be very inspiring. One set up they had involved a nice tv cabinet that covered a whole wall with a coffee table and rug. However for reasons unknown it seemed the designer of the room had clearly not tried opening the cupboard door on the cabinet. It just got stuck on the rug and it was the only door in the entire apartment layout.

Today whilst with [livejournal.com profile] choccoweeble in Sainsburys I had to question the sanity of the shelf display designers. Going down one aisle to get to the checkout we went past the 'Back to School' Section. The rather interesting juxtaposition being the aisle directly across from it. To the right school books, pencils and uniforms, to the left alcohol, mostly the really strong stuff. For all your family needs?

So as my previous entry explained Dusty died on Saturday which was a rather bad start to the weekend. Once I had got my even keel back again I decided to continue with my plans for the day that involved a trip to Ikea. This trip was mainly to get hold of the Christmas stock that mum had informed me would now be in store.

ExpandI needn't have bothered )

I zoomed home annoyed... and just collapsed for the rest of the day, typing on my Herscher Project entry about mirrors.
We had a touching enterment for Dusty as it got dark before heading to bed.

Sunday was a hive of activity as K decided to pack away Dusty's space station and all the hamster food. If anyone needs hamster food (includes treats) and sawdust/bedding we have some left over and are happy to pass it on.
We then used the table he had been on to move the stuff that usually clutters the dining room table. I then got a phonecall warning me that [livejournal.com profile] midnightoak, [livejournal.com profile] lucian_albrecht and [livejournal.com profile] maviscruet would be stopping in later.
Already in the cleaning swing we blitzed the living room and made a trip to Homebase to pick up a new bookshelf (something we had been meaning to do for a while). A reshuffle of DVDs, games and books later and colour me surprised but we actually had shelf space left for any random books we locate.

I worked on the brake light to my car that wasn't lighting (due to rust) and noticed a peculiar motorbike across the road. It was orange and covered in Sheep. I took a photo as proof and [livejournal.com profile] midnightoak, [livejournal.com profile] lucian_albrecht and [livejournal.com profile] maviscruet can back me up. They saw it too.

That evening we then had two other friends round and they exclaimed over how neat the living room was... a bit too emphatically if you ask me. We played chez goth for the evening and chatted which was lovely. Then I went to an early bed for the start of my two weeks of Early shift.
