This is Peggy, she makes me smile.

It turns out a reader had her eye on this sofa already, so jumped at the chance to take it off my hands!  Didn’t that turn out well?  I’m happy it’s going to a good home.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I’m also feeling a little sad, a tad emotional about it leaving. After all, we’ve been through quite a lot together, this sofa and I.  It’s given me a lot of support over the years – particularly in the lumbar region.  Seriously, isn’t it interesting that even if we want and seek it, change can be so uncomfortable?  Or am I just getting old?

for beautiful Natuzzi leather sofa.  Part of the family, very good with children, excellent condition, extremely comfortable.   If you are interested, would like measurements, or would like to discuss price, please email me here at My Pink Door.

Tomorrow we leave for Beijing for 2 weeks to visit son no 2, Sam, who moved there earlier this year.   No, I haven’t packed, in fact I haven’t done much at all except lay on the sofa with a bag of frozen peas on a bung knee, doing the prescribed exercises, and trying not to hyperventilate while thinking of all the other things I should be doing.   However at some point, I realised that I was quite enjoying the view…

Cushioned comfort …

Spot the Scrabble …

It had occurred to me recently that son no 3, Conor (13yrs), had never played or even heard of scrabble.  I decided to rectify this state of affairs  and introduce him to an old fashioned game of days gone by - long before Runescape, Fiesta, YouTube and Facebook.  I’m pleased to say that scrabble has been a success – in more ways than one.  As well as being loads of fun, my son has opened a dictionary …  I know – amazing.

However, I have to say that playing with plastic tiles just isn’t the same.  I miss the wooden tiles and tile holder that we played with when I was young – sturdy, smooth and darkened with age.   I am now longing for wooden scrabble tiles – a reminder of days gone by.
