@cheryanne That's sad. Their furniture was decent. I loved their store in Kingston.

@cheryanne Did... We curse it by asking about the Cusack's Arcade the other week? Were our Crone Powers activated?!

@treleanor @cheryanne Sofabed, with two armchairs, vaguely 1930s style. Very comfortable.

@cheryanne

Sad, but (in a more flippant note) not surprised. One of the mysteries of our street is that the last five or six families to move out, and their new tenants/owners move in, is the complete non-appearance of removalist vans. How do they do it? Where's the furniture?? Reinforces the suspicion that our street is in fact part of The Truman Show and our neighbours are acting temps.
