I wondered about the height of the back on the patterned one. The Pegasus one is 10cm higher. Do you have one you could measure to get an idea of the height? I like cushions too as I can have lighter brighter cushions or covers in the spring and cosier, darker ones going into autumn. Good luck!3

Excellent point about patterns! I can certainly individualise cushions with what I already have: I have 2 Turkish carpet cushions, a patchwork one my sister made, and several WIP from my mum that I could add my own touches to. And I have a throw that I knitted - not only sewing knitted squares together, but also knitting into the sides of existing squares, all sorts of things. Plus a patchwork quilt that could be used as a throw, that my mum made from my dad's shirts. The list goes on.
Hmmm! I'm definitely going to have to experiment with what those measurements actually mean. Plus, I want it, soon, I dislike living in this sort of camping environment. And I made a commitment to my brother, that he'd be able to stay here by the October half term - comfy seats, a bed, and a table to eat at if he wants.

More shopping washed, five star feedback about the delivery driver sent, he was so nice: I asked him to step back a bit, he was kind of looming over me, and not only did he do that, he popped to his van and put a mask on, without me asking.

I've recovered a bit from the drained feeling after the sawing of the shelves. Just focussing on cleaning and tidying away the shopping, bit of fresh air, wm is on, etc etc. It's definitely time to stop doing such energetic diy as sawing wood, sadly.2023: the year I get to buy a car5
