Not again!

.....another week has passed without a word from me! (I am getting really bad at this "diary" update!)

So what has been going on in the Rasmussen household? Let me think....hhhmmm.....I suppose I should begin way back last Sunday. It was there that we had our Christmas Bazar, in church, to raise money to give to a charity that help women who are in an abusive relationship. I had the responsiblity of organising a "fishing" booth. The children could buy a ticket to come and fish up a present. (All the gifts were sponsored by friends and colleagues!) I spent my Saturday packing 50 gifts in, while Kristian made the fishing rods.

The game was a great success! The kids loved it! We raised £50 at our booth!

Monday evening just after I went to bed I was awakened by Leah. She was sick and boy was she sick! She threw up all night! Literally every hour! There was not much sleep got by either of us. In the middle of one of her throwing up fits, Andrew arrived out in the bathroom. He had cramps and diarre! There was suddenly competition for the toilet! haha To top it all off, Sara woke up with fever and a sore throat. I was in no fit state for work so I took the day off. I ended up at the doctors with Sara again. A new course of penicillin was prescribed is now being taken. There is a big improvement!

Last night (Friday) I met up with my "old" friend Rhona and we headed out to a carol service. It was lovely. We sang our hearts out in Danish and English. There are some beautiful Danish carols but I sooo enjoyed when we sang the English carols. It was just a really lovely evening and it was great to catch up with Rhona. When I came home Winnie was here for the evening. It was also lovely to see her too.

Today (Saturday) I have been out with my other "old" friend Audry. Three years ago we started a tradition to go Christmas shopping together, so today was set aside for that. We drove to the outskirts of Copenhagen to a big shopping centre. (Glad to say we got there and home again in one piece! It was me driving and I am not too keen on driving anywhere slightly near Copenhagen! So I am slightly relieved to have a car and a body still in one piece!) The day went too fast! We were there from 11am and leaving at 5pm when the shops closed, yet it just felt like we had been there a couple of hours. Next year we are going to shop on a week day as the shops stay open a little longer!! haha

Below is a clip from the Christmas Bazar. A group of young fellas from the church got together and sang. This was recorded at the rehersal. I think they sound soooo good. So give it up for the newest boy band in Denmark!! haha
