July..... part 2

Marit took the 2nd week of July off so Milly was back to being at home with "Old faithful"..... which I have to admit, she likes the best. I don´t feel bitter..... well, not very..... but for Milly, there is only one mummy!! She actually does show her affection a little too literally sometimes.... leaving several bit marks up and down Marit´s arm. I went off to Scotland for the Barclays Scottish Open..... and had a fantastic weekend even though the weather was up and down to say the least. Marit and Milly went to Hamar while I was away. They had a trip down Mjøsa and a bit of a paddle...... and went out on a trip and visted a cafe out in the countryside.

July...... part 1

The beginning of July saw us both back at work for first time since May 2009. I can´t say it was a joy to be back! Bestemor and Bestefar were in for the week to look after Milly. We had dinner at Uncle Kristoffer´s, which was as ever, a joy. He is actually a really good cook and the blog thoroughly recommends a visit if you get the chance. During that week we were finally rid of the scaffolding around the house. There are still things to finish. The window in Milly´s room and the front door are still to be changed..... but we´re getting closer. The windows and the outside of the house look really good..... we´re not quite cleared up even now...... the roses are still to be hooked back up for example..... but it´s good to have finally got the outside of the house sorted..... we knew it would have to be done sooner or later, but it feels a bit more urgent when, during the winter, the snow starts coming through the front door!!
