Withdrawal symptoms

Not been to Ikea for an eternity. So after Weymouth yesterday, it was Southampton today.

Ikea's wares looked strangely Autumnal. Didn't really get the drab looking furniture and furnishings in sage and dull gold tones. In contrast they also had cushions and garden furniture in a garish orange and yellow.

Spent the grand sum of £3:50 on a £1.50 bulbous transparent vase' to house my hydroponically growing orchid. £1 for 6 plastic mugs and £1 for a glass bottle. Bargain day out (and had vegan meatballs, chips and peas when we met 'A' in the 'restaurant' there).

Blip is taken a) walking (7mns) from Southampton station to Ikea, b) on return to Bournemouth station.
