My long awaited new bed was delivered yesterday morning.
Blue
It's much bigger than it looked in the workshop. I hate it. I shall need a footstool to climb into it.
Cheerful
It's actually quite comfortable.
Blue
It feels strange. I nearly broke my neck getting out of it to go to the loo in the early hours. Afterwards I lay and seethed and wanted to go back to my own house. The one we sold to Clint.
I hate the new bed. And the new house.

Rosie likes it. She lepped on to it like a young thing and slept cosily all night.

Paddy isn't limber enough to get up there. He hates it too.
Cheerful
I suppose I'll get used to it. It is comfortable. And new.
Blue
It makes me feel old not being able to lep into it like a young thing. And my bedside table is about a foot lower than it. I'll break my neck....

Hannah says I'll get used to it.

Bert thinks it's funny that I hate it. He says, "You liked it well enough in the shop."
Cheerful
I've got a better view from its heights.

My view is of the turf shed.

I used to have a bed that was very high, and very soft. You needed to throw a rope ladder over the side to get out of it, and jumping was necessary to get into it. I was fantastic. And then I came back from uni one day, and me ma had replaced it with a low, normal bed. One was not amused.
Obviously, that is nothing to do with the story at hand, but hey. My suggestion is to leave a box beside it for Paddy to use, and then everything'll be fine within a day or two.
Maybe a little step stool for Paddy?
Or, sell the bed and get one you do like! Life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes, or sleep in a bed you don't like.
I think I'll go with the stool/box for Paddy idea. It will be good for me as well.
The thing is this bed would not be a problem if I was, like Bert, six foot. But I'm 10 inches short of that.
I think it might be time to spruce up the turf shed. :)
I am sure you will get used to the new bed.
mquest - you are right! I have these options to ponder-
A: Cowp turf shed (challenging you to discover what cowp means if you don't already)
B: Smother turf shed with clematis and ivy.
Cowp = Cow pat?
Dunno what cowp is but clematis and ivy sounds good
hope you get used to it, paddy needs a futon. me;
blue: not allowed to handle cash in any form at work anymore.
cheerful: less responsibility, same pay.

Assume I am not allowed to define cowp for your readers?
ganching
Adam - You not from North Antrim then?
Ganching - oh go on then.
Mikey - have you seen the price of dog futons?
I thought you didn't work for the evil megalomaniac psychopath anymore?
I would have to guess it is cow patties.
As Ganching has not responded (she holds an honorary doctorate in the Ulster-Scots
lingo) I will have to inform you that cowp means to knock down.
Example: He came at me that hard he cowped me aff my feet.
Or: Mind the wean doesn't cowp that teacup.
get bert to modify a regular futon, or beanbag, dogs love beanbags. its harder than i thought to leave, things keep getting in the way-money predominantly.

I learn something new everyday.
