Creature Comforts!

One of the joys of settling in another country is the day when your container full of furniture arrives from back home. Being so close to Christmas it was like boxes and boxes of gifts all wrapped in boring brown, but boxes and boxes of stuff! :-) The off-loading happened on a rainy day, but the guys who did it were quite quick and nimble about it and left us with a house full of goodies to arrange.

For a change we could eat around a dinner table again, sit on comfy recliners, have a bedside table and so I can go on! Yep, that's right, count your blessings! When they're not there you miss them! And also, it just goes to show how little one needs to survive. All we surround ourselves with are just creature comforts really. So, a few picks to just show you guys how nicely it all fits in our new home...

Not a "DINNER FOR ONE". We had some more over for dinner. Don't worry, the 5th chair was added later.

Sonja obviously impressed that we don't have to squat all over lounge floors for dinner!

TV and sound all hooked up. Strangely enough my plans were to have the 5.1 setup done first of all, but the rear speakers are still not hooked up!! Priorities...

We have not found the keys to this display yet. Time will tell. Just not sure where they were packed in...

Ah, they're here! All in one piece and just so much more comfortable than the camping chairs we've been using
