Kittens rule. And in communist IKEA, shelves screw YOU.

First thing this morning when he got outside, 'náro challenged the bellwether from across the road to a staring contest.

He won; or at least when I next look, 'náro was still proudly sitting in the same place while the bellwether was trudging away.

That's my kitten!

IKEA have strange shortages in their basic stock. When I needed Gorm shelves in spring, they were out of Gorm shelves. Not just at one IKEA, either.
I got my Gorms eventually (so I'm no longer gormless, hah!) but only because at some point they had the legs in Cologne and the shelf boards in Düsseldorf.

Now Jörg needed another Ivar shelf and - they're out of Ivars (but they have hundreds of Gorms now). That is, I got the legs and four boards in Düsseldorf today - just barely: The shelves were hidden all over the place. But I got them. (I suspect there may be a law student looking desperately for his lovingly hidden Ivar boards, though. *ducks*)

At any rate, visiting IKEA shouldn't remind me of books set in the GDR, should it?

... they have lots of Astrid Lindgren DVDs though. EVIL TEMPTERS.

See, that's why I settled for "Billy". Billy would probably also be available if nothing else was. But I'm with you, I remember chasing for some specific bookcase with my friend for months because it didn't sell in the UK, so it wasn't available in Switzerland anymore, either (that was the official IKEA explanation).

Give in...! :)

I did. My defences were smashed by Ronja the Robber's Daughter and Madita. >_>

I bet if I wanted Billy they'd be out of Billy. I think they're doing this on purpose.
