where I’m blogging from…

I’m very excited and rather pleased with myself!  Sorry to sound smug: I have good reason.  Remember how our back room, was almost finished apart from needing a table?  Well, ta-dah…

We have a table!  I can’t tell you how happy I am with it.  It finishes the room: makes it complete.  We have somewhere to eat, somewhere for my sewing machine, somewhere to craft…

…somewhere to blog from!  I have to admit, that I didn’t think we are going to get a table.  Ever since next-doors cat dug his claws into the table, that Si had made, and surfed on it (it wobbled so much).  I knew that, as lovely as that table was, I was never going to at my dinner off it.  We had to buy one.  I had my eye on our table (our table, how wonderful that sounds) for a while but the lady in the shop was a little reluctant to sell it to me.  The table was part of a beautiful set: chairs, sideboard and table, and we only wanted to table.  Understandably the shop owner didn’t want to split the set.  I get that, I really do: and I was willing to wait.  Time and time again we visited the shop, tape measure in hand, measuring all the tables she had: and while some came close to coming home, nothing was quite as right as my table.  Then on one of the visits, she said the magic words: ok then you came have it! So we did, no negotiating on price, we settled on it there and then: got the screw-driver out, took the legs off and carried it through York, home to our back room.  The table is perfect, look how well it fits…

I know you are probably thinking that I am a little over-excited by a table: well I am and make no apologies about it!  I’ve lived for ten years without a table: it might take me the next ten years to get over the novelty!  I love my table!
