It´s that time again....

....time for my crazy husband to go off to the forest for the night. Every year without fail, he and 5 of his friends head into the forest for their "Man Night". Here they sit around the fire and talk. It´s all very secretive, us wives don´t get to hear much about what they talk about out there. One thing I do know is that they share one good experience that has happened to them in the past year and one bad or hard experience. Then they make one goal, something they want to achieve before they meet again next year. A few of the friends Kristian only gets to see this one time in the year. He looks forward to this night and is all prepared with his fleece, all in one jumpsuit, winter boots, gloves and hat. Blankets are also bundled into the car.

No matter what the weather they hold this tradition. (They have even been out there in -17 degrees) I think it´s great although I would rather meet in a fancy restaurant or a spa/wellness hotel and talk deep in a more luxurious setting.  But for our simple men they love to meet around the fire in the forest in the middle of winter. (crazy!!)

So while Kristian spent the day getting ready for his night out. I went food shopping and got stocked up for the new year. Then I went to visit my old lady friend. We had a lovely afternoon together. 

Then this evening, since Kristian was gone, I decided to go out to my studio and paint. I had a great evening out there and my painting was looking so good - then I did a mistake and another mistake and another!!! Now I am just going to paint over it all and start again! Aaarrgghhhh hate when that happens. Anyway it was fun. I am trying to paint a huge painting for our bedroom wall. Let´s see if I can fix it all tomorrow afternoon. If it turns out you can be sure that a picture will be posted here!!:-)
