Frilly

An intensive retail day.  We went to a Swedish home store noted for its flat pack furniture to purchase bits and bobs.  My role is to ensure a sound rationale exists for each purchase by asking questions like 'do we really need it?' and scrtinising the quality of any proposed purchase.  After a while I was sent off to find a basin for the sink.  The kitchenware was in a completely differently part of a store where navigation is challenging.  And they had no basins.  When I got back the shopping was finished without the benefit of my input!  So, was the basin chase a ruse?

We also bought a car which looks remarkably similiar to the one which it will replace.
