New Chaiselong

This is a layout celebrating how life doesn't always go like planned, not even in the little things, how a simple trip to get new furniture can create a fun memory.
And how hard was it to get the picture of Kayleigh on the chaiselong - whenever I got down there with the camera in hand, I got one picture and then she jumped off and ran to me instead of just lying still and looking cute. Darn dog!!! But finally I got a shot of her and could finish this layout.

  On Thursday April 24th Peder's dad came to help us get the livingroom finished and put up a new radiator and then he also fixed the garden gate, nice. But they also threw out the couch, my old couch, Kayleigh's favourite spot... sigh ... Then on Friday we drove in different furniture stores in Kolding and searched for a chaiselong to replace the couch - but we didn't find any. Instead we drove to Århus and to Ikea on Saturday - and we found a great chaiselong (and a couple of other things: a bookcase, plates, a new sheet, bed linning etc - you kan never just buy what you're coming to get in Ikea!). We then found out that it's absolutely hopeless to get a chaiselong into an Audi A3 and then close it, so we had to tie it down and then just drive slowly home on the freeway with the wind blowing in noisily.
  Our planned café trip and walk in the Dyrehaven to see tame deers turned into a stop at a MacD drive-in sitting in the car and looking out at about 10 meter of grass with sunflowers and dandelions and a freeway behind it...
  But we did get the chaiselong home and put together and taught Kayleigh that it was her new cozy place! So mission completed - at least partly. The Dyrehave have to wait to another time...

  Torsdag den 24. april kom Peders far for at hjælpe os med at få gjort stuen færdig og sætte en ny radiator op og så fixede han også lige havelågen, dejligt. Men de smed også sofaen ud, min gamle sofa, Kayleighs yndlingssted… snøft … Så om fredagen kørte vi i forskellige bolighuse i Kolding og ledte efter en chaiselong som erstatning for sofaen – men vi fandt ingen. I stedet kørte til Århus og i Ikea om lørdagen – og der fandt vi en fin chaiselong (og et par andre småting: en reol, tallerkener, nyt lagen, sengetøj etc – man kan aldrig kun købe det, man kommer efter i Ikea!). Vi fandt så ud af, at det var fuldstændig håbløst at proppe en chaiselong ind i en Audi A3 for så derefter at lukke bagklappen, så vi bandt den fast og måtte jo så bare tulle langsomt hjem på motorvejen med vinden susende og larmende ind.
  Vores planlagte cafétur og udflugt i Dyrehaven for at se tamme dådyr blev i stedet et stop på en MacD drive-in siddende i bilen og kiggende ud på omkring 10 meter græs med solsikker og mælkebøtter og en motorvej bagved…
  Men vi fik chaiselongen hjem og samlet og sat op og lært Kayleigh at det var hendes nye hyggested! Så missionen lykkedes – i hvert fald delvist. Dyrehaven må så komme en anden gang…
