It arrived yesterday. I went home and waited at the window, watching the road, reading old issues of SF&F. Eventually I saw the buckie drive up carrying a mattress, and I stopped myself from running down before they’d parked and rang the bell.
The bed came wrapped in plastic; I didn’t have my pocket knife with me, so I had at it with my chef’s knife. This was strangely satisfying. The mattress itself is much heavier than I expected from other mattresses, while the base is surprisingly light. But after a few minutes of attaching the bed’s legs and pulling and tugging and worrying about scratching the floor, I had the bed where it’s probably going to remain for the next while. Wooh!
And this morning the fridge arrived. I haven’t had time to unpack it yet, so it’s sitting in my kitchen, all wrapped up in its cardboard box. Just waiting. I’m going to go home and play with it soon.
On another note, it appears that ICASA has released their report on ADSL in South Africa. Farrel has a post about it as his politics blog.
