Nope, this isn't a coffin inside Günter's car, but is was just about the same size and it was a small miracle that it fit inside the car at all so that we didn't have to hoist it onto the roof. What you see here are boxes filled with yet-to-be-assembled cupboards that I'd just bought in IKEA, in the southeast of Amsterdam. There are still some corners in my apartment that need some finishing touches and I've decided that some cupboards will do the trick. There will be one simple Expedit cupboard in the space next to the bed where up until now a huge metal bin stood (used for laundry purposes) and there will be a third Liatorp cupboard, quite similar to the two I already had, in the kitchen corner just next to the windows.
So, after work, I took a metro to the southeast where I met up with Günter in the big IKEA store there. It didn't take long for us to collect all necessary packages, and soon we were on our way to my place where we offloaded our cargo. While Günter went to park the car, I carried all packages up the two flights of stairs (not without a bit of effort) and I was just ready from a quick shower when Günter was back at my place and we went for some food and drinks in the nearby Bekeerde Suster pub. I'm so glad I've got these last cupboards now as well. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't fit more furniture into my place, so I'm very pleased that no further rides to IKEA need to get planned. Of course, once again, I was tremendously grateful to Günter for helping me out tonight!
