Sundays

Life is fab people! I officially own garden furniture!!! We went to Ikea yesterday for the third weekend in a row, yes, it was a slight struggle. We got to the end of the market place just to realise that there were a few things that we'd forgotten to pick up. Have you ever tried going against the flow of traffic in Ikea on a Saturday? Not easy. Add to that a rather heavy iron board (my old Tesco one was lighter lol), hunners of kids in the way eager to get to the end for their hot dog or ice cream and a few dodgy trolly pushers who clearly couldn't control them.

All in all, it was a very successful shopping day. I'm now sitting on my terras with my new garden furniture and I'm absolutely loving it. Why move to the continent if you can't enjoy sitting out on your terras! We're lucky, we're one of the first apartments to catch the sun in the morning and we have it for most of the day too. Of course, in preparation for this, I bought my factor 50 sun cream or should I say sun block. Sarah is currently sun bathing and I, the ever alabaster-one, am sitting in the shade with a full length sleeve top on and trousers. You can take the girl out of Scotland but you can't take Scotland out of the girl!
