The car park at Ikea was remarkably empty, my list was long, and my expectation high.
I bought my friend Rob, as he had a list also.
As we started round the maze, we decided that breakfast should be the first on the list.
I wanted to buy a two seater settee, but I fell at the first fence. The upholstery fabric I had chosen was new, and therefore not in stock. I was given no indication when it would be available, which was a little annoying.
However the rest of the things I needed were available and loaded onto the trolley. On the way out we stopped to sample a vegetarian hot dog, not the worst thing I had tasted, but not the best either.
Getting back to the house I had to get all my purchases up the slope, including the heavily compressed mattress. Once released from its restraints it exploded, and started its seventy-two hour normalisation period, by which it gets to its working thickness. This so-called memory foam should in fact always return to its rolled up form if it was good at remembering.
