Could it be?

Got a call from the furniture store confirming we will be home on Tuesday 10 around noon for our sofa delivery.

Right on schedule!

Of course, you should not count your chicks before they hatch or your sofas until they are delivered, but this is good news. :D

We still need to organize the craft room and buy some functional items for the house, like another coat* rack and a lamp,** that sort of thing; but it is coming together.  Still waiting on sales for the bedding...

I am sad that our craft room will not be a beautiful space, but I hope it will be one that serves. :D We will try to make it as nice as possible, but with the disparate furniture and J's knife-making machines in one corner, it is already mal barré*** as the French say.

* our current one constantly falls over.  We can still use it, but with perhaps less coats.  So, we, having two "main" doors, plan to put the flimsier one by the "garden" door for guests, and a sturdier one by the "parking/garage" door for us.  The parking door is also the door that gives onto the building itself, so it is truly the official main door in the flat's design, but the garden door looks every bit as official. :P

**Much like in Egypt, flats here do not always have the most intelligent design when it comes to electrical outlets or light switches.  You have to, for example, cross a large entryway to turn on lights when you come home.  The entryway has 5 doors leading off it, but ONLY 1 set of switches (three light options).  However, the teeny little hall that goes to the kitchen has a light switch on one side of the door in the entry and another in the hall at a distance of--I kid you not--60 cm from the other.  Anyhoo, we want a lamp to put right by the main door so that we might get light faster and more logically. :P
