After many many weeks of waiting, we finally have some furniture!

This is our ginormous coffee table. It is a beautiful thing, but very very big.

This is our sideboard, which matches the coffee table (also, not pictured, two matching lamp stands, currently lamp-less because lamps are a fight we haven’t had yet). The sideboard is proudly displaying a photo of 84 Charing Cross Road, and an original Erin McCauley.

And inside the sideboard, drawers full of DVDs! Hurrah! They are, of course alphabetised (because I am a nerd). This means that, pleasingly, Hornblower is nestled up with The Hotpants Workout. Now that’s a piece of crossover fanfiction waiting to be written.

Most exciting of all, I have a desk now! With drawers and everything…. After a couple of months of having to keep all my random crap in boxes I can’t tell you how exciting it is to have proper random-crap storage space at last.

And, after about a week of staring at it in a confused manner, the cats have finally figured out how the cat flap works. Our new house is, at long last, becoming a home.
