New Furniture for Den

Tonight saw the arrival of 3 new single-person couches to the den and the preparation for the arrival of another 4-5-person couch for the Rover Den.

Chris Goninon delivered two very funky looking purple seats (on wheels!), as well as another of his renowned favourite blue seats.

Meanwhile, Sam was playing Guerrilla Radio by Rage Against The Machine on his drum kit in his garage when his sister came running down stairs with his mobile. "Sam, this strange-sounding guy's on the phone". Half-deaf from his own awesomness, Sam takes his phone from his sister, and Matthew Ray's voice chimes in, "Good afternoon Samwise, how do you fancy a new couch for the den, mate?". "That'd be great mate," I said. "Ah yeah, it should fit in your dad's Pajero if you could meet me on the corner of Chaprowe Rd and Arkana that'd be great".

So at 8pm Mr. Bean and the hobbit from Middle Park set about TRYING to fit the 5-seater (yet 3-cushioned) couch into the back of George Ludinski's Mitsubishi Pajero, however were unsuccessful.

This, however, did NOT lead to the loss of the couch, as Sam and Matt carried the couch from Arkana St. back to Matthew's house at the top of Trawala St. On the way home, we also ran into a very unlikely, however familiar face of Graham Lawson, a former St. Johns Wood Scout parent helper and teacher at our High School, Marist College Ashgrove, who offered to assist us in our delivery of the couch, however couldn't be of much service as his car was about half the size of Sam's father's Pajero! The couch is currently waiting for collection from Matt's place.

Matt and Sam then proceeded to have a well-deserved swim in Matt's pool and then went to McDonalds for a fatty trophy of a Sundae and Chips. To top off the evening, we visited Jon Wilson and discussed Treasury business.

All in all a very productive evening.
