Today a most disturbing (and very scary) fire spread at a warehouse in Wolverhampton, very close to my friends accommodation halls but fortunately not "close enough" so to speak. They did however evacuate, which is really frightning. The smoke was visable from everywhere and really thick, and the city still stinks of smoke now during the evening.


-Outside my dorm-


So, to escape the smoke (and for other reasons such as need of furniture) me, Ashley and Rachel had decided to take a little trip to my dear motherlands invention IKEA. Just the thought of reading some swedish words again made both me and Ashley all giggly and goofy, poor Rachel had to stand us mumbling in Swedish all afternoon.. After a trip by the student bus over to Wasall, and then a taxi to IKEA we did our thing (like bosses), complained somewhat over the smallness of the store and the lack of products (like a normal can opener...grr) we had somewhat of an adventure getting back home to Wolverhampton, including Polish taxi drivers, 3 misleading directions, a shut-down bus-stop and a logn wait for the bus home. The day ended with online ordering of chinese food and some taboo. Great day!
