We bought a new bed! On the way back from the garage a couple of days ago, I went past the Ikea and celebrated the return of the four wheeled monster with some bed shopping. We already had picked it out beforehand, when Alison and I went to the Ikea by bus. It was fun to go to Ikea and not buy anything.
Not that we needed a new bed, but Poupoune did. For Poupoune the bed was too low and too high. She sleeps under the bed and the space under the old bed (basically a box that Alison got when she bought the mattress) is very low so she really has to crawl under it. The total height of the bed was getting too high for her to jump onto anymore. She sometimes needed a couple of tries to jump so high and sometimes I even had to help her. She’s getting older and stiffer, especially in the morning.
So now we have a new bed, both lower and higher. The room seems much bigger now, because there is more air above the bed. I also bought some lamps for in the bedroom, but haven’t installed them yet.
(And yes, I also bought many other things at Ikea, because I like to have things that can be found in hundreds of thousands of homes. Some of them I have to return, because Alison doesn’t like them. Ikea likes that, because returning customers usually buy more stuff they don’t absolutely need.)
