coloured fate

what are the chances of finding two cans of paint in the exact shades of blue and green that i want lying in the cupboard? and a good tile sample? AND a ye olde rotary dial telephone?

them's good pickins, i reckon.

measuring took substantially longer than last time, and was much easier to do alone. i sketched out 3d floor plans and filled in the numbers, which was much more orderly.

i took my measurements to home center - it's annoying that i managed to narrowly miss the bus both there and back. i had a pastry on the way there that left a bad taste in my mouth, but no worse than the service i received it with :(

i liked the grey parquet, but i went with the richer, more wooden-looking one. i couldn't place my order because it's cash up front, and i don't have any yet. that sucks :/
on the other hand, it gives me an opportunity to collect gift cards (they have a 30% discount each on NIS 1000) from my co-workers. that'll make up for the fact that i haven't had the card for the last few months and have been missing out on all the deals.

i went to the dance studio b to try and get her sister a couple of lessons as a 21st birthday gift, but it's a really unpleasant procedure (you have to sign the person up).
instead, i took a walk up dizengoff looking for good ideas, and eventually walked into a book store and found the absolutely wonderful robert sabuda - alice's adventures in wonderland, which the girls there agreed with me is a far more appropriate gift for adults.

i've just learned about crack-filling, and am now finally ready for breakfast. then it'll be bedtime.
