He´s back!

noadvertising I found Firenze at the back of my wardrobe in the bedroom, hidden between sweaters. How he came there will be forever a mystery. Cannot have happened when I put the fresh laundry away- laundry never makes it into the studio, where Firenze has his place in some sort of glass cabinet. Those responsible will have to justify themselves on Thursday, when the boys will be with us again. Most likely they will tell me that Firenze has galopped away. More likely is the assumption that the two had opened the glass cabinet to play with the horse man. Hearing me coming upstairs they took the fastest route of getting rid of Firenze and hid him in the wardrobe. Never mind, he´s back, and that´s all that matters!
Not that long ago I read a piece of fanciction which told about two wizards trying to set up a room suite bought at IKEA. It was hilarious, the two doing practically everything the wrong way. Reality is so much worse, when there´s no magic involved but one hubby- I was torn between crying and howling with laughter. There´s not a single leg that hasn´t been screwed on thrice, pointing here, pointing there until it finally was in the right position. Same was with each and every other component. The only things which suffered real damage were three golden angels I forgot to remove from a sideboard- two of them got de-hooted, when the tumbling back rest shot them down. With the new room suite we will also need a new coffee table- the old one is too big now for what´s left of the room. But worst is that mum´s beautiful art nouveau hanging lamp won´t live long at the place it is now- the lamp is just above hubby´s trail now, cannot get resettled or, at least, reduced in height. Oh dear, my guess is that hubby walks straight into the filigree glass rods this evening, and that will be the end of that lamp!
The good thing was that we still had leftovers of yesterday´s lunch, which we ate at half past three, when the setting up was finally finished. Hubby was off then to attend a graduation concert of a friend, I went up to the studio for a good freeze. It´s so much warmer now outside, yet the upper rooms are like a freezer- hubby definitely has been playing with the heat settings again! I countered and turned the electric heating on- I had to answer quite a lot of emails and did not intend to freeze to death in front of my PC!
Now that hubby is back there´s one more problem- I´ve got an invitation to a friend´s house, which will lead to me not being able to watch hubby´s every step this evening, before we can decide about what to do with the lamp...
