Oh, and front pots have been watered and just about to see if the back garden needs any watering 💦

Idly browsing online furniture shops as I'm thinking about a new sofa. Why don't more show the internal measurement between armrests so I can work out if they are big enough for me to have a comfortable lie down snooze?

Aren't there any pictures you can measure it from?

Good morning from Suffolk where the skies are slowly clearing and the wind appears to be easing off a bit. Coffee has been had and the caffeine finally seems to be having the required effect.

My cold seems to be lifting so I'd like to apologise to the other Mundaners for passing it on to them.

We watched an old film last night." The Tyres" I think. 1967 The main character was Terence Alexander. Bergerac 's FIL. It was about a pair of old lorry tyres dumped in his back garden. What amazed me was the lack of traffic on the roads. The car he drove was a new Honda S800 soft top sports car.

My workmate had an S800 I drove a Honda N500 which was a two cylinder 500cc air cooled and quicker than a Mini Cooper to 70. This was back in 1970

We bought one which was comfy and large enough to lie down on. The only question they asked was had we ever had any problems getting one into the house before. When It arrived It turned out that it wouldn't fit through a conventional door! We had to store it in a neighbour's garage and get someone to remove our front window to get it in.
When we moved years later I un did the covering at the back and cut through the frame and folded it up. It was still a struggle to get it out.
I fitted steel plates inside it to hold it together.

This is one of the considerations I have to make - the current one only just fits through the doors as I found out when it took me quite a while to figure out how to move it out when I was having the carpets done last month. If it gets replaced, it will just be cut up and moved out in pieces.

Aren't there any pictures you can measure it from?

Pictures are OK, but they don't give an actual measurement and it seems that a three seater can be anything from 150cm (too small) to 210cm between the arms. Looking around last night, Next seem to be very good with showing the internal sizing and options AND the local store has a furniture department...
It's only for occasional use as I still prefer the recliner armchair for a quick doze and this is also on the potential replacement list.

I am now closer to 60 years old than I am 59.

My steroid spray has been approved anyway so hopefully that will help.

The postman has been and gone and still no new bank card so I'll have to queue in the bank and fill out forms again to get more money. 😞

Well it's not going too well at the moment! Just been to a blood test at 9.25 to find out it should have been 8.50! I could have sworn it was 9.25 but being in my confused state at the time. Trying to find out why I'm having these episodes will have to wait.

There's never a good reason to have sprouts.

It reminds me of that Monty Python Blackmail sketch!

If you do try the settee for comfort, it's best to take an alarm clock with you just in case!

Re getting a sofa in had that problem with my old leather sofa getting it into the house. Was already a few years old. The side gate was too narrow to get round to the back door so it needed a 90 degree shuffle vertically through the sidewards facing porch and front door. The armrests got badly scoffed so a trip to Ikea for some samples of the material which was stuck over the damage.
