(Okay, I assembled it, from a flatpack probably from Flatland, where the mental geometry is peculiar. But I did it all by myself, though the instructions said "this will need two people". Which, as is traditional, was the only comprehensible part of the instructions, and the only part with which I failed to comply. In honesty, it all went together fairly easily, apart from the bolting in of one crucial segment, where not one of the four bolts would find its hidden nut until I had tried and tried and tried again, seventeen times per. Genuinely, that added an hour to the construction time. But no matter: it is done. And I am feeling marginally cocky, not because it was in any way difficult, but because people are always surprised that I can do these simple practical tasks, and I enjoy surprising people. It's like being able to wallpaper.

And, like wallpapering, it leaves me unconscionably knackered after. I am not only more tired than you imagine, etc.

Still: here is a pic of the new kitchen cart in situ, furnished for the occasion:



And now I want a drink.)
