Getting ready to move

These are just the boxes along the entrance corridor, another million to go!

Interesting, fresh, fast and efficient take on search. Here for my own convenience - as bookmarks don't come with importance indicators, and most are lost in bookmarks-world.

Love the keyboard shortcuts. Loads faster than google, and does not need adblock plugins running to get rid of junk.

We went to Ikea ...

.. and all we did was eat. Well, we did some browsing first, soaking in some product knowledge on a segment we have skipped so far - Children's Ikea, cribs and bunk beds.

I love smoked salmon - and the ones at Ikea were no worse off than the ones at the local supermarket, plus I didn't have to buy in bulk and store up. Missed some wine and cheese, though. And the crackers were horrible, probably super healthy, tasted like dry straws.
