Christmas time (or Yuletide as the resolutely pagan Taffboy insists on calling it) in Germany! Pretty! Frosty trees, Christmas markets with Glhwein and hot almonds and chestnuts, chocolate Weihnachtsmnner, bliss!
Except our furniture didn't arrive.
No fault of Rudolph, this. The fucking delivery man decided not to stop in Munich but to keep on going untl Milan. There was a looming lorry blockade by the Italians and he decided our petite delivery was not worth stopping for. Hmmm. It might begin with M, but it ain't Mnchen, which is where our personal belongings NEED TO BE!!!!
So I did what every woman does in a crisis and went shopping. Taffboy needed some more clothes as all his togs were stuck in Italy's fahsion capital. Had to settle for Galeria Kaufhof instead. Then to IKEA for more mundane things like bed linen, some plates, a roasting tin for the turkey and some lights for the tree.
We'll still manage to have a fab Christmas, or Yuletide, or Saturnalia, but I still hope the elves come in the night and piss on the delivery man's turkey.
