Alfred: I must have dozed off. My sincerest apologies.

Been a bit quiet on the blog for a few days, general lack of inspiration and busy doing other stuff.
The brother is coming over for a visit in a couple of weeks so it was off to Ikea again for a few things to make the house more suitable for visitors.
Got a chair and for the first time ever, was slightly stumped by the directions.



Normally I am pretty good was this was a bit of a blow to the ego.
Sorted it.
On the lookout for a table, we went to the Elegant Garage Sale, a shop on Bayview avenue which has some great old furniture and general stuff. Toronto is great for lots of independent shops, not just one chain after another and Bayview is a good example of this.
Also, some of the best shop names.
I quite like Giftfellas, the sign in the same type of script as Goodfellas or the Godfather, but my favourite is The Merchant of Tennis.
I don't play tennis and have no interest in tennis, but it's got to be good advertising if I know about a tennis supply shop on Bayview.
