€790 in IKEA today, and I didn’t buy anything like what I was planning to do.
None of the kitchen worktops impressed me except for one – and that was a mere €399 per m², which is perhaps a little over the top and in any case, I don’t have the machinery to cut the marble.
I’ll have to see what’s on offer elsewhere.
But I now have my bed and a nice and expensive firm mattress, as well as a pile of new bedding, and a nice dark-brown deep-pile rug to go by the side of the bed. I’ve also bought some mirrors for the bedroom.
And that’s where all of my money has gone today. But it’s all good stuff anyway.
This morning I finally finished off everything for the rock music programmes that we’ll be recording next week, and I’m well on the way to doing the next month’s too.
Then it was off to pick up Liz and down to Gerzat to record the Radio Arverne sessions, and then we went to IKEA.
On the way back, we had some spectacular clouds. This one over St Gervais really was impressive – much better than it looks in the photograph.
And the town over there, bathed in the sunlight, looked quite good too. All in all, it really was a beautiful evening to be out and about. We could do with a few more of these.
Down at Riom and Gerzat, the trees are already in full bloom, so I was quite impressed to see that the fruit trees that I have in buckets outside the front door are now blooming too.
It’s all of a couple of weeks late of course, as I have said already, but it’s still as beautiful as ever when it does arrive. It’s a sure sign that summer is on its way.
