4 hours we spent at Ikea yesterday, picking out furniture. 

Which honestly? Is pretty quick.  @reggaemuffin had measured *everything* beforehand, so it was only a question of what do we want (previously discussed) and what we like (thankfully very easy to decide as we liked the same stuff).

Because we don't yet have a car (who wants to drive on the left side anyway), we ordered the smaller stuff online, and had the furniture delivered.

I had hoped for next day delivery, but alas, most of our stuff apparently comes from a warehouse in the UK and can only be delivered next week Wednesday. 

I wonder how Brexit will influence Irish Ikea, because apparently there is exactly *one* in the whole Republic of Ireland.

There was one thing they could deliver the next day (so today, a few hours ago).

Recognize what it is?

Correct, it's a chair.

And not just one!

Once I had the prototype down (aka "don't need the manual anymore cause I know how it works"), @reggaemuffin joined me for a super-efficient German assembly line.

The nice thing about Ikea is that they usually supply you with hex-wrenches, so you don't need to own any yourself.

The problem with Ikea is, that they supply hex-wrenches in every single box, no matter how many chairs you ordered.

So, we now have an army of hex-wrenches.

Behold:

Next up: Painting the walls green and blue, picking up our bikes, and waiting for everything else to arrive.

Maybe meet the neighbors to make sure they don't think we're creeps.
