Practicalities

Today, I bought and put together two bedside cabinets/drawer sets, which were much needed. I’d been thinking about storage stuff and so on, and this week made the decision to get it sorted.  I knew roughly what I wanted, so made the trip to the local-ish Ikea to be there in time for opening.

Half an hour later, back out with everything I wanted. I could’ve been even quicker, but I’d wanted to look around a bit while it was empty – or at least emptier.

Anyway, I got home, and spent time putting it all together. Two units, with five drawers apiece.

Now, as many readers know, I am not the most practical of people. It’s just not my skill-set, for whatever reason.

But this time, it went pretty well. I spotted the errors I’d made before they became major, and it all went OK. The units are built, they’re in the right places, and everything’s moved in. Sure, it took me longer than it would’ve done for someone with – you know – practical skills, but it all got done.

And I can’t deny, I’m pretty chuffed with all of it. I didn’t even swear too much, which has to make it a noteworthy day in itself…
