Today, we went to Ikea again. It's part of our plan to help them recover from the recession. We go there, they don't have everything we want, so we go back a week later for the things we couldn't get the first time and by that time we have a whole new list of things to buy.
We bought shelves and some plants, which we named on the way home. We got a big parlour palm for the corner of the living room. I thought he seemed like a Barry as he is short, bushy and non-threatening. We got a crazy little pot plant who I will get a photo of when we have proper internet and not this dongle thing with a download limit, he seems like a young, quirky artist so he is called Francois. And the reddish orange gerbera who sits near the lightswitch and is a bit reserved but quite pretty is Helen.
