Swimming and DIY



I love swimming, really I do but I prefer not to see the world through rose coloured glasses, at least in the pool!

Then there's the DIY project. Funny how men come up with a project, then wives involve themselves in the sport of complexifying, should there be found such an expression, the job into something of a larger challenge. Anyhow, one room grew to 3 rooms, and thence new timber flooring was laid. No point in me being bored on paternity leave.

And here's the before and after results...

Weekend on Zealand

Last weekend and Monday and Tuesday of this week we were on a grand tour of Zealand. Started by visiting David's work collegue Morten and his wife Stefanie and their two dogs in Kirke Sonnerup- south of Zealand. Elizabeth couldn't get off the door from watching the dogs playing in the garden. I'd say the interest was very mutual- the two dogs (black labradors) were very interested in Elizabeth, sniffing and licking her :)
Then we visited my sister Dasha and the family in Søborg- great to see you guys as always.
After that we went more north to Jens and Kath's (Katya's Danish family) residence in Gribskov. Walks in the forest, picking up mushrooms and great company for dinner, the hit of the day was their dog Trold, white labrador. Elizabeth couldn't get enough of it! Now we're seriously considering getting a puppy. There's just one thing with it- what about all the travelling we do? We'll have to do more thinking about it.





Otherwise, biggest news of this week was Elizabeth starting at private day care. It's a nanny called Susanne, who lives close to us. She aslo has 3 other girls, about 2 years old. They were all interested in this new "baby-girl" coming :)
Elizabeth spent 3 hours at her place every day from Wednesday. It went very well. She noticed David disappearing on the first day and was a bit quiet for about half an hour. Other days she hasn't even noticed it. Next week she'll go there for the whole day.
Time really flies. Next thing she'll be starting in pre-school!!! I know it's a long time untill then, or is it really?
