Well, IKEA has opened - and the expected crowds didn't turn up after all. It is a lovely store, massive (noticably bigger than the Edinburgh and Glasgow branches), though by Friday the lamp I wanted to buy was already sold out....

Hi Pat, great to hear from you. The IKEA store is just outside Holywood at Knocknagoney. (I'm not sure what this land was used for before - I have a vague childhood memory of that area having large BP storage tanks)
Dr A, we were over for a quick visit today after school - as my lamp was back in stock - but out of stock again by the time I got there - and I did notice a lot of southern cars (driving all over the road!)
... can you not reserve this lamp on-line? Must be really something to be going to all this trouble >c:
.. going back to a previous comment - I agree with you about setting off for work in the dark and returning in the dark (after being kept in the dark). Makes you feel like a mushroom (c: Roll on the winter solstice and daylight!
p.s. was that after school for you or your daughter?? - yeah that would be the southerners all right, can never make up their mind which side of the road they want.
.... to be sure they don't know their right hand from the left - a few years ago I was driving to Dublin and got diverted due to roadworks and of course the traffic signs were worse than useless so I stopped to ask directions. The woman giving directions told me to follow the road to the right while indicating with her left hand - you guessed it, I got even more lost I should have listened to the hand (c:
Ah sure they're all mad in the south (tho' I had an interesting conversation in Greece this year with a Dublin lady who asked if all Northern Irish drivers were so agressive because they'd lived through a war!!!!)
& after school for my daughter - sadly the salary/holidays/prospects of early retirement associated with the teaching profession didn't occur to me until far too late...
