Loooong weekend

Last Thursday was a public holiday in Denmark and I had Friday off as well as the day care was closed and my company doesn't work that day anyway.

On Thursday we went out for lunch and then we met with DK's English foot specialist in Copenhagen as she was over for a conference. DKs feet are fine and we don't need to do anything other than get ready for another check up in Manchester in 6 months or so.

The boys and I spent Friday going to the supermarket, making ice cream, sewing seeds and preparing food for our guests who were coming to dinner on Friday night. We marinaded Pork in honey, mustard and soy sauce and lamb in port with, thyme ginger and garlic. We also made a rhubarb fool with rhubarb from the garden which was delicious (it was my day off the diet!)

Saturday I decided to pain the living room ceiling white. It took the whole day to do it and I will have to do it again at least once. We had more friends over for a barbecue in the evening as we were all invited to a big party in town. Everyone had shipped their kids off somewhere (ours were with K&L) and we had a nice relaxed evening in the garden before heading off to the party at about 9:30. Unfortunately I began to feel ill whilst we were there and we came home at 10:30 and I was shivering and feeling sick all night. I spent some time throwing up on Sunday morning and then the rest of the day lying on the sofa feeling dreadful.

Today I am feeling better, but still not 100% so I am working from home and wondering when I will get around to finishing the ceiling.

    Sick of painting?
    Try a roller - quicker!

  3. Roller is not good at getting between the slats as it is a wooden ceiling and also sprays paint up and down the walls and all over the place.

    Got half way through the second coat last night but there is still lots of yellow coming through.
