STUDY STUDY STUDY

Entering IKEA's labyrinthine Room Sets Zone, the first room we entered was a very attractive study — a study such as I would quite like for myself, as it happens.

Wilson jumped into the office chair, spun it around a few times then scooted it across the room, declaring, 'I need a study EXACTLY like this one! Just think of the INVENTING I could do in a study like this! Look, New Dad, there's a clock... a world map... a pinboard... a tv... We can convert the Guest Bedroom — we'll make a start on it as soon as we get home!'

I thought about that for a moment, and tried to move him on.

So, I have but a few hours to think of a reason not to spend a small fortune converting the guest bedroom into a 'study' for Wilson — or 'playroom/den' as I'm certain it would quickly turn in to. 

I wonder if he'd settle for me putting up a clock in his tumble dryer?
