sofa addendem - anyone for springslash?

[tadorna]

I am a sofa-owner!* It was not a cheap sofa. I suppose I can no long deny that I am sort of grown up. Incidentally, I always feel a bit weird saying the word 'sofa' because I grew up with a 'settee'. Somewhere along the line I switched. Like, we never said 'toilet' in our house either, we said 'lavatory'. Just thought you'd like to know.

In more important news, I'm fully convinced that now Bill Oddie has apparently left Springwatch, it is poised to become the biggest RPF fandom since Lotrips. Come on, people! Chris Packham was the sexy face of children's wildlife programming back in the 80s!

Apologies to people not in Britain -- there appears to have been little for you in this post.

*well, provisionally.

Yay, sofa! All my attempts to own a reasonably-sized sofa have so far failed -- there's a shop here that claims to be able to ship IKEA to East Timor, but I knew it was too good to be true: we ordered a sofa about a year ago, and nothing so far. Perhaps it's coming by ship from Sweden?

I grew up saying 'tea' (as in, "Come in kids, it's time for tea"), but somewhere along the way I switched to 'dinner'. I think teenage me thought it sounded more sophistamacated!

Oh dear, that's a shame. :( A year is possibly a little too long to wait for a sofa...

I've always said 'dinner' which caused confusion because everyone else I knew said 'tea'. Actually, it still causes occasional confusion.
