I attempted to post this earlier. It is possible that I screwed it up but I must wonder if some of the words caused it to be deleted. This post should show whether I am a moron or if: Otto Censor dislikes foreign words.
We went to IKEA!
We had to be in the city for other things most of the day and so we decided to make a slight detour on our way home.
We purchased two items in the: DJUNGELSKOG style collection and one in the: BLÅVINGAD style collection.
The bear is thirty-nine inches tall. The snake is a glove puppet sixty-seven inches long. The octopus is twenty inches tall/long.
They are to be birthday gifts for three of my little Fuzzy's six great-grandchildren. The other three are at an age when they likely do not understand the concept of a gift being from some person other than the one who hands it to them.
I have heard of quality concerns with: IKEA products and so examined each prior to purchase. All seams appear solid, there are no loose threads and all placements and alignments are proper.
We looked at some furniture also but only to investigate if they employ any unusual joining techniques or hardware which might be useful to keep in mind when we have a workshop once more. It is sad to say that it was all standard in all respects. I was a trifle surprised that the prices were actually in line with their cheap-and-cheerful nature.
I had occasion to mention a chair which I wished my little Fuzzy to examine but I did not dare say its name for fear I would mispronounce it and summon forth some obscure Norse deity with vengeful nature.
