IKEA

Thursday found me shopping at the local IKEA. I say local, but it is really only accessible by city bus, one that goes out of the city (in the southbound direction). The closest busstop was at a roundabout which, if not for its relative proximity to IKEA, would have been the middle of nowhere.

I have only once before been inside an IKEA store. The display rooms in this one were so much cooler than the ones in Woodbridge, there were so many model kitchens, all of which I wanted to keep, followed by the model bedrooms, followed by... and so on. It was great.

I intended to buy just a birthday present, which I did, a very healthy-looking purple orchid. However, I also bought things for myself. Included in this was:
-orange-flavoured Pepparkakor (sounds like "pepper-ka-ka"), mmm delicious.
I first had pepparkakor on Scorraig, and it was delicious
-my very own vacuum flask ("Thermos" as we know). 0.5L. I tried it out on Friday and it was amazing! I drank half a litre of tea in the space of about thirty minutes, then spent my next lecture wishing I had more tea.

We had two gigantic bags of IKEA goods on the bus home. Definitely a problem.
