It's settled. We won't be able to move in until the end of July. Bugger. But we'll managed. We've re-booked my parents visit to mid August (not an easy job considering the SAS strike inSweden) and even found a positive aspect of the change in plans. We were supposed to treat my parents (all of us siblings that is) to Porgy and Bess here in London as a gift to my dad. Unfortunately they've cancelled the show which was annoying. But, with the new date for their visit we can at least see another Gershwin musical. We've booked tickets for Lady Be Good at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park and I'm very much looking forward to going there. And, we've realised, that we'll now be able to attend the christening in Winborne on Sunday the 24 without getting stressed. We may even take the opportunity to see some of Dorset. We'd still prefer the old moving in date - but what can you do?
Despite this accommodation set back we decided to go to IKEA this past Saturday. We bought a shopping trolley on our way there at Argos (senior citizenship it is) which made the whole trip SO much easier. We checked things out that we'd picked from the web site and bought some stuff that's useful even now (some chine and stuff). We lost track of time at IKEA and I was 1 hour late to Sian's in the evening. We had a good time eating snacks, talking and watching Clue. Fortunately, Linus was art the Gun and left at the same time as me so I had company walking back home.
Sunday we went to the gym, bought groceries at ASDA and watched Hot Fuzz. I'm very happy with myself having run about 6 km in 10=30 min and lifted weights. I really believed I deserved relaxing in the pool afterwards. We tried making toblerone milk shakes in the evening and they turned out ok. Practise makes perfect they say.
Bank Holiday Monday was devoted to cleaning (boooring) and not much else. The flat is very nice at the moment. We'll see how long that lasts.
