Kristian is back - he is feeling all better again! Yesterday was his birthday, he turned 46!!! Imagine me being married to a 46 year old when I am just 28!!! Anyway, yesterday we didn´t do too much for his birthday. My work had a 40 year Jubilee so there was a big dinner last night. We attended that and celebrated Kristian´s birthday together with my colleagues. We had a delicious meal and ate far too much.
After a lovely lie in this morning we decided to go and get things that we needed to get the house into shape.
Last week Kristian´s friend, who is an electrician, had been out at the house changing plugs and sorting out the electricity in the kitchen. Then we had a friend from my school out to plaster the kitchen walls. The floor man was meant to come on Friday but he got sick so he will come on Monday. Once the floors are done we can begin to move some furniture in!
But we also need a kitchen!! So late this afternoon we went to Ikea and got that. What a lot of work it was gathering all those boxes from their warehouse!! We were sweating buckets by the time we were finished!
We were just about to drive out to the house with all the things we had bought, when my friend Anne rang. She and her husband Peter and their youngest son were at the house. They thought we would have be there working so they dropped by with cake. It was great to see them and Peter also got a chance to look about the place and give Kristian a bit of advice. After they were gone we headed into Kristian´s sister Hanne´s house to borrow their trailer. We had a quick cup of tea and coffee before we headed to Ikea.
I think we now have all the things we need to get the next stage of the house project done! Hopefully this time next week we will have the kitchen walls papered and painted. The rest of the rooms finished with their paint work. The kitchen cupboards built and put in and the worktop sorted out. Let the work begin!
