On Friday evening Mark and I took a trip to Ikea to buy some shelves to furnish his new room. After a fun wander round the store, and a bit of confusion over the price of Billy the Bookshelf, we picked out the lovely Expedit shelving unit, and lugged the 91lb beauty home (resulting in very tired arms, a large bruise, and a few offers of help from passing strangers and bus drivers!)
Saturday we stayed in for construction day, followed by lots of arranging of toys and nic-nacs, to make the shelves 
look perfect – which they now do, and Mark’s room feels suitably like he lives there! 
In between our DIY work, we also took some time to make homemade bagels – which turned out very well. This was all quite exhausting though, and Sherman the Shiraffe (he’s a cross between a sheep and a giraffe, even though he looks like a llama) and I needed regular naps!
Sunday we were going to go to the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Royal academy, but hadn’t booked tickets, so ended up just wandering around town instead, and stopping for lots of cups of coffee! We had one in the Nordic Bakery, along with a very unusual oatmeal raisin cookie, which was more like toffee, but very nice.
Monday night was a visit to Bodean’s with my housemates – I had the amazing burnt ends, and despite being told I couldn’t substitute a side salad for the fries, I was then brought a salad anyway (free of charge) so didn’t have to eat the chips but could just focus on the MEAT! It was very tasty, and a total bargain at £10, including a drink!
