Rosinger Senior and Junior are now both back on their big and small feet again. And we have said good-buy and good riddance to the traumatic experience it has been to squirt antibiotics into Stefan's mouth twice a day. (Senior was given pills.) We tried to bribe him with Smarties but I'm not sure he understood our explanation as to why we would do something horrible to him and then excitedly let him pick out some colourful round things that he could eat. Once he started feeding me the bribe after the event; all covered in white sticky stuff with a sickly sweet smell. I did the 'pretending to eat with great enjoyment' face and think I fooled him...
Anyway, we should hopefully now be over the first bad flu episodes of the year.
My dear childhood friend, Helle, came over for a visit last weekend and we had some lovely and relaxing days together. (She was also not feeling 100% but obviously after having spent a couple of days in a warm flat (probably warmer than usual due to rising temperatures), drinking numerous mugs of tea, eating Lindt chocolate and going for a couple of walks, she was feeling marginally better when she left.) Stefan and she got on like a house on fire and I suggested that she give up her life in Denmark to become our au-pair instead. For some reason this amazing offer was declined. There were excuses like: 'I have three children and a husband at home. And a full-time job. Etc.' Basically a lot of hot air. (Well, it's factually true but still. Is she a true friend or not?) I love how she's introduced Stefan to 'Totte' (the Danish version of 'Postman Pat' apart from the fact that Totte is a four-five year old boy) and Smarties. And he let her brush his teeth. He doesn't let his mum go near him with a toothbrush. Or a tissue. Or a morning kiss. Or let his mum hug his dad when he can see it.
Food:
This week I've decided to share some pictures of the soda bread I made a couple of weeks back. You can see more under the 'Food' tab.
Craft Projects:
As I've now finished a few knitted items, I thought it was time to post some pictures of them under the 'Craft Projects' tab.
I like my tabs and will probably add more in time...
