I spent the last few days with buying stuff for my new flat, and putting them together. So far, I bought all of my furniture at
IKEA, the well-known Swedish furniture store. So, yes, I would characterize myself as addicted to IKEA: I like their design, I find their quality pretty good and their good reasonably priced, I enjoy putting the stuff together, and I like spending money there.
This weekend: about EUR 2000. That's a lot, but the flat will be really shiny as soon as I got the furnitures delivered and built together.
One thing I would like to add is that it's extremely hard to concentrate on selecting and buying when you're heavily engaged with a cold and some awful coughing. The cold is so awful that my ears are totally blocked, and that I hear everything more muted than usual. Awful, just awful. Oh, and the
hard sneezing appeared a few times, again.
