It's All In HOW You Say It

We went out for lunch this afternoon, and Sweet Mother's Kitchen has a brand new cabinet in which they are keeping their pies and other sweet goodies. Which would have been a better way to put it, upon reflection.

Not, as I exclaimed to the server "You've got a hygienic box!".

Things I Have Learnt Lately

• You should never assume that your arm is not for other people to elbow on the bus.
• There can be too much chilli in Macaroni and Cheese.
• The ports on the side of a laptop are the same size as baby fingers for a reason.
• I'm definitely too old to go out more than one night a week.

Sigh.

But hey! The couch arrived! It's so freaking awesome it was worth the wait. You should see this thing. So smooth... So squishy... So butt-embracing...

Couch? Are You There, Couch? It's Me, Jody...

We're entering week 18 of "waiting for the damn couch to arrive". And they said it would take 14 weeks max. Honestly - I could have paddled to China in a waka, learned Mandarin, negotiated with the locals over tea, and hitched a ride back to NZ with my new couch, on a frigate, and still been quicker than 18 bloody weeks.
