Some patience required

Finally, after over half a year of waiting, and stressing the vendor to finally complete our order, the final pieces of our table have been delivered!

Something had to go wrong after our streak of good luck over the past few weeks.

Yesterday, the first batch of furniture was due to be delivered, and

Due to the fact that some things have been ordered but could not be delivered in time, a few bits and pieces were not installed, and the workmen have to come
