It's a good thing I'm not a copywriter by trade, or anything.

Although as we haven't exchanged contracts yet, it could still all fall through.<BR/><BR/>Annie: When I thought about it some more, 'amorphous mass' pretty much sums up my figure at the moment, so that blurry thing probably is me. <BR/><BR/>Tara: Ginger Palm sounds very nice. Post photos! And yes, the pink is OK - we didn't choose it, it came with the house. If it had been on more than one wall it would have been a bit much, though - especially as the next room is decked out in turquoise, and the garden wall is a deep sort-of Moroccan blue, which would perhaps be nicer if it was in a riad in Morocco, rather than up against the fire station. And yes, that table is one of IKEA's finest.patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-25838916566376448942008-04-28T22:06:00.000+01:002008-04-28T22:06:00.000+01:00also, I think we have the same table. nice choice....also, I think we have the same table. nice choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-37068927632841574362008-04-28T22:05:00.000+01:002008-04-28T22:05:00.000+01:00it's very Home and Garden TV; I like it.
