Jun. 5th, 2007 11:11 amBecause you were all dying to know, the very cheap beige cotton throw works wonders on the very cheap sofa, turning it from "the patterns! the patterns! why must they fight?" to pleasantly neutral. I now want some expensive cushions to snazz it up again, but as that would take away the whole point of getting a very cheap sofa, this will not be happening. [1]
Nice weekend; sort of village fete thing in Derbyshire, including opportunity for teeny walk and visit to country pub. (Won a bottle of wine in the tombola; failed to win other tombola, raffle, guess-the-weight-of-the-cake, guess-the-name-of-the-teddy, etc; said hello to lots of people; bought home-made jam- you know the sort of thing. Book stall v. disappointing.) It was also a pleasant chance to see New! Improved! Brother, now with 100% more scary beard!
[1](Come back next month to find out if the pleasure of feeling virtuously thrifty will win out over the joy of New Stuff.)
