We went to Ikea today. Its ones of our favourite places to visit. Of course while we were there we had to have to fantastic £1.65 breakfast Mmmmmmmmmmm yummy!!
I orginally went for a potato peeler, scissors and a a couple of dvd wallets (bargain at 97p each) but i ended up coming home with a new computer desktop (a unit that fits on top of your computer table that has shelves, a wipe board, paper rack etc...). The problem was that when we got home and assembled it and sat it on top of our old one, it just didn't look as good without the base the store had so, i think we are going back again tomorrow to buy a new table to go with it LOL Lucky old me! I'll post a photo of it when its all fitted so you can take a peek. I also got some office type storage boxes to put all my stationary (junk) in, so it looks tidy.
Its the last episode of Tess of the D'urbervilles tonight. I read the book ( written by Thomas Hardy) a few years ago and couldn't put it down. Its such a sad story. It follows the life of Tess, who goes to seek out rich distant relatives on the advice of her drunken father. She is employed by these relatives to look after the chickens but is eventually raped by their son Alec and flees back home to her parents where she bears a son she names Sorrow which tradgically dies before being baptised and isn't allowed to be burried in consecrated grounds so Tess burries him under a hedge near to the church. She then goes off to find work as a milk maid and thats where she falls in love with Angel. They get married but Tess hasn't told him about the rape and the child she bore. She confesses to Angel on her wedding day and he is so upset about it and what other people will think that he leaves Tess and goes Abroad. Tess is broken hearted and goes off in search of work again only to run into Alec who tells her how much he loves and wants to marry her..... oh its so sad..... well thats where it was left last week but theres much more heartache for Tess when Angel comes back, she kills Alec and at the end of the book she is caught at Stonehenge and then hanged! I really must read more Thomas Hardy if the rest of his books are this good.
