The Treadmill

This is a rather disappointing post, I'm afraid.

Around the time we ordered the washing machine, we won a bid on eBay for a treadmill. Thirty euros and some change.

Except we forgot to ask W. if he could drive us and if it was too far and if it was feasible and... Well, we ended up winning, cheering, realising that and panicking. We went downstairs with guilty faces and used please a lot, along with the argument that I hadn't looked at offers that didn't ship or were further than an hour's drive away from Coburg.

The seller was a confused mess, causing us to worry. There was very little information on the actual machine. Communication was strained.

Boyfriend and W. went to pick it up around lunch. The trip, at the most, shouldn't have taken more than three hours. By eight o'clock, they weren't home and I was worried. Turns out, road works and geocaching had intruded upon the schedule a bit. The good news was that the treadmill worked and was lightweight and foldable. Hallelujah.

We set it up, tested it, noted we could use the hallway cupboard for putting a laptop on for entertainment, and folded it away.

I've been wanting to see if I can get a would-be treadmill desk thing going, but I've been sort of caught up in stuff. We'll see.
