You'll recall my earlier post on our bed moving drama. In the end we had to abandon our old bed as it didn't fit up the stairwell at Swiss Cottage. I'm pleased to report that our cosy new bed arrived this morning - and made it safely up the stairwell.
We're quickly learning a few Londoner secrets. If you want a large bed in your flat, buy a base that you either assemble on site, or one that's made from two smaller divans. We've opted for the two-divan solution, buying a version that includes handy drawers. You can never have too much storage in a tiny London flat.
The bed is very comfortable but sits higher off the ground than our old one. In fact you'd think it were an operating table. However, once you've conquered the bed's dizzying heights, it's just perfect for hiding from bitter winter days. We've had a few of those this week, with day time temperatures close to zero. Poor Garry's also caught a nasty winter cold, complete with temperature and nagging cough, so I suspect he'll be making good use of for the next few days.

Oh, My pooor boy. As Nan would say "tell him to put a singlet on". Hope he is better soon,but I guess it's hard to get over anything in that freezing weather. Thanks Andrew for all the updates, isn't this Blog a fantastic thing. Now I've found the comment button, I will. No real news from us, we haven't been to Madrid or Paris or anything exciting like that. Oh, we did go to the Central Coast last weekend to see an old school friend who is out from Canada. She went over when Garry was 9 months old and never came back.
