I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

That's one of the things I miss about Germany: an IKEA in every major urban centre. We used to have semi-regular family trips there: Stroll through the showrooms, followed by lunch before hitting the downstairs area and the clearance/bargain bin area, usually the most dangerous part of the whole trip 😁 We NEVER got out of there empty-handed and 95% of my first flat's furniture came from IKEA. Ahh, the good old times...

I tend to fly solo....the idea of it being a family affair makes the blood run cold.

Plus small car so will need the passenger seat free to put stuff in between passenger and driver seat.....way too lazy to remove kids car seats and fold down backseat

There would be the occasional flare-up of tensions alright, running the gamut from diplomatic hostilities to WW3, so I get where you're coming from. But my mom would never let dad into IKEA alone, with good reason, and both needed someone to do the heavy lifting. Hell, I got free food, entertainment, and quite a lot of stuff for my flat out of the deals, so why not? 😁

My fat ass read that as flapjack and I drifted, Homer Simpson style, to the land of Flapjack, where buildings are made of gingerbread and sweets, and MDF furniture is Medium Density Flapjack ...

As the day goes on , being found under a pile of flapjacks is the more likely outcome....or at least flapjack crumbs!

Think the winter coat is needed today. It's been a wild wild west kind of weather.

Lovely day in the east. Long walk today for me. Little Sugar Loaf to Great Sugar Loaf and back. It was either that or go crazy at home.

Gremlinertia

Anyone going near a mountain here today would want their head examined, totally different weather either side of the country! Heard the rescue helicopter coming in from the islands earlier, hairy run I'd imagine.

Been wild in Kerry, too. Incredible thunder and lightning this morning. Fairly calm at the moment but the showers are biblical when they hit

SuperBowserWorld

Was a beautiful day in Wicklow. One heavy shower. That last picture is looking west. Clear skies 😝

Next time I'm bringing a real camera. My phone just doesn't do it justice.

Gremlinertia

Bowser they are amazing photos, phone or not. We shall all expect more pics in future 😊

SuperBowserWorld

Thanks!

Wind picking up here now...

Time for a cup of tea and hunt for chocolate in the cupboards.

Gremlinertia

On the way to work here.. Tip toe through the thunder showers

I am in my snoodie! 😁😁😁

Also rocking pjs, fluffy socks and a dollop of sudocrem on a carbuncle that has erupted on my forehead. I'm sure I've never looked more attractive.

So, I found the OHs chocolate. It's milk chocolate with salt and nuts in it. And nuts cause me to break out in a rash. Only been happening this past few years, and before covid.

Also, salt in chocolate.

Time for a divorce.

Gremlinertia

No more nuts!! Where's me placard?

SuperBowserWorld

Worse!

Made a big bowl of cornflakes with loads of milk.

Had to go do a couple of things.

Came back and the cat had his face in them. Won't be having those.

Having toast and butter now.

Gremlinertia

Ah if you left them to go soggy sure they'd be no good to ya 🤣
