Blog2008 ≫ Nice weekend, quiet weekend

Nice weekend. Changed our Friday night outgoing plans and had a quiet one in. Saturday went to a 92nd birthday tea for Clare's gran over in Tenterden, home for a brief siesta, and then out to The Guildhall with visiting family and friends. Took a brief break from there to go to The British Lion before its last orders (it closes a bit earlier), then back to The Guildhall for their last orders. Then home, in the drizzle.

Felt a bit sniffly when I woke up on Sunday, could be that damn rain, but fine again now. Went to a bootfair, did the shopping, ate, watched TV and even played a bit of Scrabble. All quite relaxing.

Threw in a few mad bids for this apothecary cabinet 1 but there are fellow bidders who are staying one step ahead of me. It's gone up in price but is still currently listed at about 10% of its retail price.

When we got married we bought some [ebay=john lewis bergerac]Bergerac furniture from John Lewis[/ebay], two book cases, and I thought we'd eventually buy just this. It's very expensive, and a bit chunky, and now they discontinued it anyway. We bought a sideboard, that turned out to be a slightly different colour to the bookcases, ah well. I think we're better off with lighter furniture (lighter in colour, and in generallyless heavy feeling in sheer presence), but it's still lovely stuff. [ebay=john lewis bergerac]You might still get it here occasionally[/ebay].
