Furniture cometh




Over the weekend we acquired a very nice sofa, cupboard/shelving unit and dining room table. All second-hand and either free or very inexpensive.  The sofa and cupboard came from a family whom I`ve known for a couple of years now.  He teaches at the university here and just last year he and his wife and 5 year old daughter moved within walking distance of our apartment.  Great news for Miki (a playmate!) and for Ericka (a fellow foodie who speaks English!).  It`s been a win-win weekend. 

However, in light of these "new" home accessories, Ericka and I were just commenting on how short-lived our "detoxifying" move from Canada and the downsize has really been.

It looks so nice and roomy! I really need to "detoxify" our apartment space ;-) Glad you are settling in and have wonderful friends willing to give you furniture! How sweet of them! Counting down the days until we see you on Skype!
