Cheery's country living adventure

Greying, nice to see you! Glad you liked the carrot recipe - it's been added to our collection (I didn't have any curry leaves, so it just went without). Hope all's well!

Poor Mr Cheery! Glad you had a good night's sleep though Cheery - but think of your back, you must get up!

OUCH!  Hope he's on the mend soon, that's a long time to be in pain!


Totally agree on the 'other bed' glory - I often pick up and move to the spare room when OH's fidgeting gets too much!  I totally get why my grandparents generation had two separate single beds pushed together! - No tidal wave every time the mister turns over!😂

We've been watching Danish crime drama recently and I've been enjoying the one bed, two duvets aspect seems eminently sensible to me!

My study has been full of clothes and storage stuff for months, so it's been nice to clear it out over the last few weeks and it's back as a nice useable room now. Haven't had space to get the bed out for yonks! And yes, I'm still in it My poor back is actually thanking me for the variety - I spend a LOT of time sat in a desk chair so this is a nice change! Won't be all day every day of course... but for now I'm feeling quite apart from the world and getting plenty done. Haven't felt tempted to open my emails yet - after all, technically I am still in bed... And I'm getting far more work done for it!

Very Churchillian Cheery!

Nothing exciting I promise you!! He tripped over a pile of crap in our building site kitchen and landed awkwardly on the edge of an electric heater Been in pain for several weeks now! 

Anyway, I had a glorious night's sleep in the spare bed, and it's so cheerful in here (it's the sofa bed in my study) that I'm still here I've had a shower and got dressed and had breakfast, and am happily ensconced back in the bed with my laptop. Might just stay here all day - can't get back at the desk without putting the bed away and I'd quite like to sleep in it tonight too!

Beds is comfy.
Beds is warm.
Beds is good.

Cheery - I fully recommend having two duvets!  Last year I worked in one of the Nordic countries for a month & took OH along.  We discovered the joys of having our own duvets!  I can cocoon to my heart's content and OH can stick his feet out the bottom - both without the tug-o-war that happens with one (even oversized) duvet!  Upon return  I cajoled a friend into a Ik3a trip & bought separate duvets & covers!  I'm fully convinced it's a tool to retaining marital bliss! 😂😂😂😂😂 Can't believe it took me 13 years to figure this out!

Depends whether one poor sod has to change both duvet covers, though! 😉
I hate changing duvet covers!

I think I'd be tempted to change my own duvet cover and leave the other one!

Two small duvet covers are a lot less hassle to change than one vast one - and you can have different weight duvets! I spend half my work life in scandinavia and am used to the separate duvets and often separate mattress toppers.

Seperate mattress toppers - now there's a thought...🤔
