Weekend DIY

The last few days have vanished in the blink of an eye!

After going with DH for his physiotherapy appointment on Friday morning I went out on a short run to try and keep some sort of routine going. Then it was a quick change and off out to lunch with a good friend and a catch up of what's been happening over the last couple of weeks with us both.

Saturday was spent washing, shopping, and finally, later on in the afternoon, a trip to Ikea to pick up a few bits that we've been after for a while. With my back still not quite being 100%, and DH now using two elbow crutches again for a while, it made for a somewhat difficult experience loading and unloading the car! But we did it, and planned to build a couple of pieces on Sunday. So, I emptied the corner unit we were replacing, left everything on the table in the dining room, moved it in to the garage, and then started to unpack the pieces of the new unit from Ikea..........only to find we'd picked up the wrong size!! Hmm. A full sized bookcase instead of a half width bookcase. And unfortunately the full width one doesn't fit in the space we've got! So we now need another trip to Ikea at some point to get the right unit. It's not even a mistake I can get really annoyed about as I will probably fill another bookcase at some point - it just wasn't on the list of things to get just yet. We ended up building a smaller unit for the spare room and getting that a bit more organised, and I've had to pack away all the stuff left on the dining room table to clear some room there until we get the right unit to put it all back in.

So a complete DIY/organising weekend instead of a walking weekend. I did, however, manage another run with DD on Sunday when she called round briefly, which was good.
