Busy days.....

...with no time to update the blog.....until now!

So Friday found us all off work. It was a bank holiday and so we headed down to visit Kristiain´s mum. Kristian´s brother Søren and family were also there and so we had a lovely afternoon and evening together there.

Saturday Anne came by. We had arranged to meet for brunch, which I would cook! (Poor Anne!) Then we were not sure if we would go shopping or stay at home and paint. We decided to see what mood we were in.


While eating brunch we started to talk about painting and suddenly we were inspired to stay home and paint. 



 The Crazy Artist at work!


Mid-afternoon and it was time for a snack.

None of the two of us were happy with our painting. I ended up painting over all mine in white, ready for the next painting session.

We had also thought that we would go out and eat and maybe go to the movies but the afternoon went by sooo fast. It was 7.20pm when we realised how late it was. We were not in the mood to get changed and all dressed up to go out so we ordered a chinese and settled down in the living room for a good old chat.

The evening flew by. Anne went home at 00.45am!!!  The amazing thing was that it felt like we had only been together a few hours and not 13!! Time sure does fly when you are having fun!!

Then Sunday afternoon Laura and Mia, along with Leah and me decided to work around the house and garden. Andrew joined us for a while too. (Kristian was away for the weekend at a go-kart race.)

 The weather was fantastic!

 We found some wall paint out in the garage and covered up the holes that were made when the insulation was put in during the autumn months. They had been a gray cement colour all autumn and we wanted to paint them the same colour as the house. We achieved our goal!!


 Laura did a bit of work on the garden.


 I painted the window sills and the bottom of the house black. It was in desperate need of a touch up.


 Andrew got the job of removing all the garden rubbish.


We found time for a break....tea and ice cream!! Yummy!


We ended the day by each making our own dinner and then getting together to share what we made. A  really great and productive day! 

On Monday us 4 girls (Laura, Mia, Leah and me) had planned a girly night out. We were going to grab a burger and then go to a concert that The Young Continentals were giving. They were a group of young people from Holland who sang and danced and did drama and told about their experiences with God. It was a great evening and the young people were just so lovely. We had a great evening together, there was something for body, mind and spirit.

Not to mention the laughing fit we had on the way home!! There is never a dull moment when you are with my neighbour Laura!!!! 

Today I am tired!!!  I went shopping for my old lady friend after work and then had a few hours visitng her. We were able to go a walk....well I walked and pushed her in her wheelchair but it was lovely for her to just go out exploring.

Kristian changed all the tyres on our cars today from Winter tyres to Summer!!! Whoopieeee:-) that must mean no more snow!! :-)

Now I am off to bed!! Tomorrow I have nothing in my calendar!!! Oh except work!! haha but I am so looking forward to just coming home and relaxing for an evening!
