Looking foward to air bnbing it from you
Went to the turkish barbers in the village this morning.
Turns out they are German-Turkish and manage to maintain the whole 45 min covo in German. 1100+ days of duo lingo has paid off

Took part in volunteering for the London Sheep Drive along Southwark Bridge today.
What a fantastic (and quirky) tradition of the City of London.

Our council have kindly taken down all the passive aggressive flags that Nigel F fastened to just about every lamp post and have replaced them all with poppies

What exactly is āpassive aggressiveā about the national flag? I didnāt find the Spanish and Portuguese flags āpassive aggressiveā on my recent visit to those countries.

Itās not about the flag being up, itās about why itās up, but I think you know that.
Youād hope, but, following recent interactions, Iām not so sureā¦
If people donāt like seeing our national flag, there are plenty of countries they could go to where there either arenāt any or where theyāre only flown at diplomatic posts.

House has now been officially āsoldā to us.
Managed to wrangle it so we donāt have to deal with it this winter and we shall ātake overā from April next year.
So flights booked for April to sort the house out!
Unfortunately, canāt take the kids out of school, so a solo trip for me to sort out the furniture we are going to order.
Be a shame to take it over on my own, but looking forward to going back.

I guess that you will have to order from nearest large town or on-line?
IKEA prices used to be very competitive if you bought in Sweden but havenāt followed SEK exchange rate.
Be doing an online order from IKEA. Nearest one is a three hour drive away. But i am renting an estate car so if it need to i can drive there and pick up the remaining bits.
As for the nearest large townā¦ Thatās about two hours away.
Exchange rate is going up a bit, so might transfer our funds into the missus svensk konto sooner rather than later or we will be a bit out of pocket.

What are their delivery options? Might be worth spending a few SEK rather than a 6 hr return trip.
