Day 124 A day spent on looking for upholstery

As I didn't like the standard fabric used in the sofa that we ordered, the manufacturer has kindly agreed to let me have my own choice of fabric.  Based in his recommendations we went and checked our what's available at Raigama textiles and Royal Drapers. Unfortunately there was nothing that caught my eye and we finally checked Raux Brothers which I knew to be on the high end of the pricing spectrum. Just as I expected, they had a wide and beautiful choice of materials but were too pricey and as they have to get them down from Australia, they take time too. 
So we couldn't  really finalize things today but I gathered some insight about upholstery shopping in Sri Lanka :).

Day 123. Started reading Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier

The search is over! I finally found the book that I have been wanting to read for a very long time. Even though 'Rebecca' by Daphne is a popular novel that is generally available in bookstores, her other books are quite hard to get hold of.  However, these days her entire collection of books are available at Sarasavi bookshop and I bought copies of Jamaica Inn and Frenchman's Creek. I hope to read them over the next few weeks whenever time permits. I am so excited!
