Naturally I love IKEA; I've always enjoyed furniture stores and probably always will. I think I will have so much fun furnishing/decorating my own house (assuming I'm not super poor, because let's face it, these things add up). I'm also REALLY curious as to how my friends' houses will look.
I predict...
Junaberry will live in the countryside in the UK. She will have a quaint cottage with dogs roaming in and around the property. Her furnishings will be classic, simple yet charming. She will have a spacious kitchen, appropriate for baking, a bathroom with a toilet situated right in the centre (beside which her toothbrush holder will sit), large [well stocked] bookcases and her rooms will be flooded with natural light and picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. She may have floorboards, cute wall paper and a lover who will frollick in the meadows with her. She [apparently like the rest of the world] will eat porridge and desserts with massive tablespoons.
Big M will live in a spacious, modern suburban home, in a very nice neighbourhood (think green grass and white picket fences). She will reside here with her husband and 50 children. Her decor will be of the latest fashions, however due to her taste level, her selections will remain timeless. She will occasionally splurge on designer items, however she will get these items at a fraction of the original price and you will see her buying snacks [massive dixie drumstick bags from the reject shop?] in bulk. Her house will largely reflect the needs of her children, but will still exhibit a certain level of class and order. She will also have a massive walk in wardrobe, with plenty of space to accomodate her clothing and accessories.
Little S. Will live in a teepee [sp?] and wear shoes reminiscent of the times of Pocahontas. ...no, probably not. She will, however have a household that is a little crazy. She could live in the city or the suburbs [wherever the wind takes her] and, as a Vietnamese woman, she will probably have an abundance of children, who will grow up to be extremely polite and well mannered, much like their mother. Her partner will be very intelligent with a dash of crazy. Her house may be a tad messy, but it will have character, style and comfort.
Enough of that.
Whilst at IKEA Big M, Junaberry and I became quite pumped about the possibility of scoring this lamp
Prior to exploration of knick knacks we dined in the IKEA food court, which tbh disappointed me.
I split a piece of chocolate cake and a 'spring onion and sweet potato' quiche with junaberry.
The quiche was ridic oily - the most oily thing I've consumed in months - besides this it was not offensive, but it was nothing special. I think I was disappointed as I disregarded the 'quiche' part and was expecting it to be more sweet potato-y, almost like a sweet potato pie or something? but I probably only got one to three small pieces of sweet potato in my half, so it was mainly oily egg [which I'm not keen on], spring onion, cheese [too oily] and pastry [which could have been nicer]
So probs won't eat there again, unless something is super cheap, or I'm starving.
Big M had meatballs, which I assume she enjoys as this is the second time she's had them.
Afterwords [like fattys] we went and got fro-yo. Even though I was really hungry I enjoyed it anyway because on a 36 degree day, it does the trick.
Here you can also see Junaberry's left foot, modelling some new nail polish, less fluorescent than previously.
Afterwards we wandered around the city, and Little S and I got the bus home together. It was the hottest, most ridiculous bus ride I have experienced in some time. If I'm not too lazy, I may write a strongly worded letter of complaint to state politicians about the transport system/vehicles, as the bus driver recommended. I feel so bad for bus drivers who have to work in those conditions all day. It had to be over 40 degrees in that poorly ventilated, over-crowded bus - surely that has to be an occupational health and safety hazard?
All for now.
