コタツが届いた！

You could feel the anticipation in the air this morning as the door bell rang, and the man on the other end of the video intercom announced he was from the delivery company.

Finally, our kotatsu (heated table) had arrived.

After hastily signing the papers to accept the delivery, the box was ripped open and the kotatsu quickly assembled. The last piece in our living room puzzle. We now have a complete home. Well, for the time being that is. I am sure we will think of something else we want to buy tomorrow. Like a flatscreen TV that actually works.

The heater element underneath the table. You take the top off the table and put a doona over the base frame and then put the top back on. Then you sit at the table, under the doona and keep warm. We haven't bought the doona part yet because it is now out of season, so we will have to wait until next winter.

In other news, we caught up with friends from JWC today which was a lot of fun (thanks for the chocolate Gayle!), and will see them again before they leave on Sunday. Also the resume translation is getting there, albeit slowly. Though just a few more bits to do, and then first draft is ready to send off. Pat has had some good news on the job front too. Don't want to jinx anything but things are slowly starting to fall into place.

Good times.
