Don't go to IKEA if you're under the weather

I spent over an hour in the fabric section, much of it staring into space, trying to picture various shades in the boat and feeling dizzy. I came away with meters of totally inappropriate stuff. It's quite nice, but the wrong size and the wrong colour.

Oh well, at least it was cheap.

But then on the way home I listened to a radio show about the evils of consuming loads of cheap goods (very bad for the environment and for the soul - see also post below about eco-house) so then I felt guilty too.

Gah!!

Snot

Snot ain't good.

Thanks Arthur.

Although he was very cute yesterday. It was time to say goodbye and I said "I won't kiss you because I don't want to catch your cold" [note the irony of that statement] so he kissed my skirt instead - the top of his head only reaches my thigh.

Ooo hope it's not swine flu (cue my mum insisting I visit the doctor). At least my mum won't have to keep telling me not to pick my nose and eat it like Arthur's mum had to tell him yesterday.
