Day two - the joys of moving in and the perils of the resulting trip to IKEA

Today started early again - though I suppose some people would call 0845 a lie-in - as my dad and I headed over to the flat to sign the contract and pay the deposit etc. for my room! for all the time it had taken to pack the car in the first place, the unpacking was surprisingly quickly finished! So we decided to make a "quick" trip to IKEA to get a few bits and bobs and some lunch.
Now anyone that knows me, or indeed that knows IKEA, will realise what a dangerous place it can be! No matter how carefully you plan, and how many lists you write, you always buy more than you planned and still manage to forget something! As was the case with our trip today of course. We did however get some fantastic pillows, and duvet covers and I even learnt a new word "fantasmo" ghost - which I needed in order to buy one of those amazing little ghost shaped children's lights that light up blue! So after a fairly uneventful lunch at IKEA, we headed back to the flat to start unpacking and sorting things out.
Needless to say, I did NOT get much unpacking done, before succumbing to the temptations of facebook and the rest of the internet world. I did however meet 2 new people that will be a part of my life here for the next year, Sarah who works in the B&B that joins on to our flat with student rooms, and David a young army guy who lives in the room that is one but next to mine.
In the evening my father and I embarked on the adventure of trying to find somewhere to have dinner. It would appear however that hardly anyone eats full meals in restaurants in Zaragoza, as almost every place we saw was a bar or café that served only sandwiches or Tapas (small entrées, usually finger food) When we finally found a Sushi place that had just opened they asked us to come back at 2100 as they weren't yet ready for guests (despite the sign on the door saying that they opened at 2000!) So we finially gave up and got ourselves chicken and chips at the Kebab shop!
My dad then left  to go back to his room at the B&B in order to be rested for his early start and 20 hour drive (!) back to Austria tomorrow. I think I may conceivably have the loveliest Dad in the whole world!
And so now I'm lying here in my newly furnished bed looking at the suitcases and boxes that require my attention - but true to form I think I will quite simply turn the light off, switch my fantasmo on and ignore their existence until tomorrow morning - as I do with most things I don't want to do!
Night night!
