I think I'll just lie on the sofa and gaze at my new Persian rug. (Maybe the design is Persian-inspired, but it was made in Belgium from man-made silk, in other words, viscose!) Whatever - it is very soft and Muffy, Emma and Hugo all like crawling/rolling all over it.
Yesterday I drove what seemed like halfway to Melbourne to pick up the microwave/convection oven that never worked. It is VERY stressful in three-lane traffic, 110 km there and back. Manami and Hugo came too and he cried all the way there. We also went to a new Ikea shop to buy some curtain material for upstairs. I'm far too tired to try the oven out today and will be most surprised if it does actually cook anything. I have no faith in warranties from big companies. If the service company had come to collect it, I would have had to pay $85 (each way).
I hope the dentist didn't hurt you too much, Winifred. Re the school fete - I was expecting just a few stalls, too, and was most intimidated by commercial ferris wheels, etc, all with blasting music. It was almost impossible to bear, especially in 30 degree heat. The teapot and cup thingo was lovely, and at quite a distance from the noise, but it was too hot to try anything else.

Poor you but how stunning is that carpet...I am most jealous!
Love, love, love the carpet it is just what I want for our lounge to cover the marks of 8 years of children's feet.
Journey sounds horrible, weather sounds wonderful - just think how much you will love that pool when the water warms up. x
