We had a couple of dinners with friends, one at our house and one at a friends’ place and last weekend went out for dinner because it was Stephan’s and my 13th wedding anniversary – WOW!
Two weeks ago we made a trip to IKEA in Dublin (which only took us 1h 50 on the way there and 1h 40 on the way back due to the new Motorway which runs from Galway to Dublin) because we were looking for a new TV stand. The one we have is nice, it’s actually the nicest piece of furniture we possess, but it is huge and our living room is a bit on the small side. I will finally go ahead and paint the living room this weekend (in the same colour that I painted the kitchen) and we thought it would be nice to get something smaller for the TV and DVD player…but we didn’t find anything. There were 2 pieces in IKEA that were okay, but we didn’t want to spend money on “okay”, we are looking for “really nice”. And when it comes to furniture shops in Galway you won’t believe what kind of rubbish they sell for incredibly high prices! So we have decided to stick to what we have, I am sure the new paint and a bit of a clear out will make the room look brighter anyway.
Pirate aka Herr Pirat
Tomorrow we will have to bring Pirate (one of our three cats for those who don’t know) to the Vet. He has gingivitis, which means his gums are badly inflamed and his teeth are in very bad shape. He will have to be anaesthetized and his teeth and gums will be cleaned and at least one tooth will have to come out. Oh, the poor thing, it will be horrible to leave him there! And just as horrible is the fact that he has to fast from tonight on, especially as that means we will have to make the other two (Pepper & Paul) fast as well. Okay, we don’t HAVE to, but I cannot stand the idea of feeding them and holding Pirate back, of course he wouldn’t understand why the others get food and he doesn’t, it’s just not fair. So they will all have to carry the burden. And so do we, because Pepper will start begging for food from around 6 tomorrow morning and once we are up they won’t stop annoying the hell out of us. But hey, nothing is more important than health and what has to be done has to be done, all five of us will get over it!
Pepper aka Miss Pep
I guess that’s it again for today. And today it’s
15 days till Lena comes
23 days till London
176 days till Mallorca
Don’t ever think we’ll stop counting the days!
