Prepare, prepare, prepare! That will be the motto for the next couple of weeks, until Andy and Colin will be here on the 30th. And what better way to prepare than to go to IKEA to see what can be added to my studio's interior. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I mostly need a new cupboard and something to fill a rather empty space next to the bed, but there is more that I should get. For example, the curtains that I will need to hang up as a divider in my studio to give my guests at least some privacy. That will not be useful only for my Glaswegian guests but also for Baby Basil (Daniel) who will visit Amsterdam not much later and for a significantly longer time period.
I did find, and buy curtains (plus the rod and all the utensils needed to hang them) in IKEA as I visited the store in the morning. I also bought new boxes for some of my cupboards, a door mat, and some smaller things and in the early afternoon I decided that one visit to IKEA on Ascension Day just wouldn't be enough. So I returned in the afternoon to buy a carpet and some more smaller things. All in all a great start of my preparations. I was quite pleased. The picture shows the interior of the metro train I took to IKEA in the morning. There's a metro stop just down my street and also one close to IKEA so, apart from going to work when it's raining, it seems as if the metro was built specifically for Enrico-to-IKEA shopping trips. That's a good enough reason as any, I suppose.
