Terry, happy to hear of your recent escape from IKEA. I too am working on some bookstacking solutions. I ordered shelves from Substack, but still no word.
Last time I remember putting together an IKEA desk. Following the directions was a challenge like a tube map underground with a flashlight from phone. Dowels sometimes fit or misplaced. The desk wobbles but I can write on the floor as legs are not strong enough for my wait and see writing.
I can never put anything together. If we do buy anything, I'll either ask wife to deal with it or take advantage their construction service. I know my limitations
Though we are across the pond from one another, it would seem IKEA inspired us similarly when it comes to book storage (though I've not yet begun papering the walls).
Lots to comment on this week! Thanks for the shout out. I’m honored. The Anne Desmet art -fantastic! Does Ikea make round files? Happy as always to see your trademark cat. Finishing with BTO - sweet! They are fantastic.
That is why I go to a rehab gym instead of a big gym. Everyone is about the same age and the gym is a lot smaller. Also, people are not running over to spot you for a 30lb kettle bell.
Did you drop breadcrumbs to help you get out of IKEA? :).
How did you know? 😂

If that's what makes up 5 a day, then I'll happily have 10!

Six days at IKEA! How’d you get out so quickly?
🤣
Thanks for the shoutout, Terry :-)

Round files is slang for trash can 🗑️ in US
Oic 😂
You're welcome! Trademark cat: 🤣 Round files? They seem to have everything, apart from a visible Exit sign. 😂
Truly laughed outloud with your start to this week's post. Too funny!
😂 Thanks, Sue. At anything in particular, or all of it?!
A few comments but especially the reference to ikea!
😂
Erm... about that all-vegetable menu? I'm in.
🤣

PPS. Very sensible!
oh sorry, I get the reference now. Sorry, feeling a bit knackered!
Thanks, Paul. I don't think I mentioned gyms though... 🤔
I'm sure there is a reset but I can't find it.
Axe: 🤣
Chocolate: I was going to mention Terry's Chocolate Orange! Your granddaughter is very sensible IMO
