ailbheWe found my wedding ring today, mysteriously replaced in one of the places it's often kept. And a snipped-up pillowcase, but there you go.
Also had a good big lunch and a decent dinner, and almost finished the large loaf of bread. I did a full 1.5kg of flour though so we have two smaller loaves yet to go.
Other than that, Rob and I patched various inner tubes for the trike and tested them; we now have good patched tubes on the wheels and known-good unpatched ones in storage for emergency changes. And we found the tyre levers, too, which will save the knives and spoons.
After dinner we found birthday cards for my niece and Emer phoned her up for a chat. The niece is almost four and Emer is two and a half, and there was an echo on the line, so that went well.
Now I'm medicating ovulation pain and making lists to take to IKEA tomorrow morning. We are limited in what we can carry, luckily, but I'm taking measurements for things we might like to buy another time; we can make firmer plans looking at things than we can at home with the catalogue. The wardrobe situation is rapidly approaching crisis point; the children and I have Argos metal-and-canvas wardrobes which are teetering, except when they're tottering, and inclined to move slightly at all levels of their structure. And I can't store anything on top of them, so they also force wasted space, which I loathe.
I want to paint the children's room, too, and I can't do that until the furniture is finalised, because I don't know where to put the rocket, really; at the moment I think it might be obscured by and real wardrobe.
It's after nine pm; Linnea is in bed singing herself to sleep, and Emer is sitting in the living room in the dark giving Nana a puppet show. And orders.
