After a comfort break at 05:00, I slept through until 07:30. That's what comes with a clean conscience. Once up and about and suitably caffeinated, Di and I headed to Hedge End. Our destination was Oak Furnitureland. Diane had seen a sofa that she wanted to replace the IKEA chairs that we currently use in the Orangery. Our objective was to find out if the said sofas were as comfortable as they looked.
Hedge End was an absolute Zoo. There were cars everywhere... and yet there were plenty of parking spaces in the car parks. We drove through and found a convenient spot without any problems. We entered the shop and were pounced upon by a salesman. Having sent him packing we found the suite that Diane had set her heart on. It was perfect. We sat on it and checked its suitability. Perfect. W~e decided to go ahead and summoned the sales drone to take the order. All seems to be well and we should get delivery in about 10 days.
Coming home we were stuck in traffic. In a metaphor for the new Government, we sat watching a 4-lane motorway reduced to a single lane while there was no work progressing in the closed lanes. It reminded me of the Portugal-France match in the Euros... where Portugal did all the work, but France ended up as victors.
Finally, back home, we managed some Kindle time before I started on dinner.
