Yesterday we had planned a trip to OBI and made a pit stop at IKEA for breakfast. After finishing our breakfast we noticed that the sofa we have been considering was on sale so we bought it and went home. The sofa fit perfectly in the X5 when maximizing the space in the trunk. OBI can wait until next weekend.
The sofa has been assembled in the small bedroom and the bed that was there before has been moved down to the server room in the cellar. The cellar room looks much nicer now after Tanya’s painting so the support personnel can now take a nap among the servers.
Lately the Sonos sound system has been completed since Conrad delivered the last four speakers a bit late. The ten loudspeakers are working well and has also freed up two sets of loudspeakers to be used with laptops in the small bedroom and washing room. I think the next step is to buy one or two Play:1 speakers to be used in the winter garden or cellar depending on where you are.
I am also considering a TV for the small bedroom but I think it could be worth waiting a year or so. By then it could be time for a 4K TV for the living room and thus freeing up the current TV for other duties.
Another project is to prepare a laptop for Tanya’s father. At the moment I am installing the Russian version of Windows 7 on my Dell XPS M1330. It is a few years old but has managed to age without falling apart. I think it could serve well for a few years more in Siberia.
I have also carried out practical duties today since I started the day with equipping the Saab with winter tires. In the afternoon we tried it by taking the Saab to Albis and going for a walk up the mountain.
