    A true celebrity! Photographed by fans, given a thirteenth meatball at the cafeteria. Is there no limit to the star treatment! I bet the next time you go back, there'll be a glass jar labelled Garron in that little kitchen.

    Mixing the screws together in one bag forces the builder to warm up mentally and test their resilience prior to assembly. If you can't make it through the sorting process without getting mad, it means you've exhausted your mental bandwidth and need to save the assembly for another day after a good night's sleep.

    Anyone old enough to remember Arctic Rolls? I think that's what the dessert he ate kinda resembled. Ikea is always a good day out. The cafe is the best thing about it. He did very well to avoid frivolous purchases..

    I love Ikea here in the USA. When I downsized to a smaller home, with my adult son, we split the house in two. I installed an IKEA bathroom, Ikea kitchen and Ikea dresser with matching bookcases with glass doors, one of those large multi-cube storage units, and two tall closet/cabinets. Oh, and the Ikea table with drop leaves and 6 drawers. Totally love the clean lines, affordability and easy do-it-yourself put-togethers! Of course, Ikea dishes, silverware, pillow, etc.

    Tip for flat pack assembly. Get the instructions out , make a cup of tea and read before any attempt at aseembly. I would also recommend checking you have all the parts and screws and what-not before you start to avoid getting halfway through and having to stop as you're missing something. And if you can,make it in the room where its to be situated.

The constant walking in circles, getting nowhere and not being able to look out a window is a challenge. But that doesn't stop me from shopping there. I am right with you on the meatballs! ( I'll have to try the dome thing also.) You are so right about just throwing all the hardware in one bag, what a nuisance. And the directions with no words will test your mettle after awhile. Stay delicious! You a treat, for sure.

    Delicious, and good to the last drop. Garron, you never disappoint. I've been in an IKEA (near Chicago) and it was scary. I was so focused on getting OUT that I didn't try the meatballs. I did get an awesome, huge rainbow tote bag, though. ❤

It's been years since my parents made their transition it's goes down a treat (as my Dad would always say) to hear your beautiful voice. I had no idea how much I missed the sound of Ireland until I tuned in. Thank you!!
