Side by side
The new double buggy is lovely; it's easy to push, easy to steer, has plenty of space for both children and all their bits and bobs, great raincover which is easy to get on and off, and it only just barely maye possibly scrapes into the house and sits in the hall with no room at all to spare.
So we've been trying to reduce the amount of airspace taken up at buggy-height by other hall-dwelling things, so that it can be steered into the house by a comparative expert (me) even if rank amateurs (Rob) still struggle and bash and swear and wake the baby (he doesn't swear, actually).
All the coats not in current use are upstairs. The shoe-stacker-hangy-thing we've been using for hats, scarves, gloves, Linnea's shoes, bike paraphernalia, umbrellas, etc, has been emptied - the clothing is all in a string bag (which hangs higher than the stacker) and Rob has movedmountains piles of filing, records, DVDs, videos, photo albums, and comic books to enable us to store shoes in a floor-level shelf which is practically in the hall, since it's right beside the library door. The nice thing about this is that it's big enough for mine and Rob's shoes too, so they won't be tripping anyone up any more.
Now there's the issue of emptying and folding the buggy, which I must get into the habit of doing every single night, but it's so tedious. I'd rather spend my evenings and mornings climbing over it to get from one part of the hall to another. Nyargh.
