en See how the furniture is put together on those pages. For example, look at the sofa. Maybe you're drawn to the idea that the end tables are the same height as the ends of the sofa. Or maybe you see a round table and a square one and you decide the round is what you like.

The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.

en I don't know if I'd want to do it (race wheel-to-wheel) with just anyone, ... I think I'd be nervous to do it with anyone other than Bruno -- or Oriol now. It was really close, I was on the apron and Bruno was a few inches away from my wheel, sometimes even less so it's quite nerve racking. You know how difficult and dangerous it can get out there so you don't really want to be side-by-side for 20-something laps.
