Today he only spent an hour and a half and I think he is winning. We are hoping to plant some things on Monday. We'll see how it goes. He also sprayed the bricks hoping to kill off any and all weeds and moss.
We ransomed his suits and ties from the cleaners, went to a little German grocery store and proudly became the owners of an electric griddle...not like the large ones you have, but one large enough to grill 6 sandwiches at a time, or two small tortillas. I am enormously happy with it.
I looked on Amazon.UK to see if they had one, and finally gave up my search. Then we found it in the weekly ads. It was even on sale. So it was a "Eureka" moment for sure.
We took the bus across town to attend the baptism of Viggo, a man from our branch. It was fun to see the missionaries that have served in our branch back for the baptism. Then for fun, we walked home. This is such a great city.....it is winning my heart. I have lived in Chicago, and visited other large cities. I understand how people become attached. But there is something about Copenhagen.
Our dear friends, Elder and Sister Middlemas from up north came to stay the night. They are senior missionaries who came to the temple with a sister they have been visiting. It is inspiring to see how they were put where they are to help this sister prepare to go to the temple. They will go back to the temple in the morning and then return home to Aalborg. We are looking forward to having some more time with them next month when we go to their area.
I am excited about tomorrow. We will get up early and leave for Odense...where we will attend the baptism of a wonderful young woman who has visited the center a few times.
I think moss is charming. But I can't wait to see what you plant! Are you doing veggies or flowers? Are you going to put some chairs out there? Whatever became of that mystery plant in the pot by the door?
ReplyDeleteThe griddle looks pretty fun. The baptism picture is sweet.
Has "festinor" or whatever it's called happened yet?
I think moss is charming too, but I think we will still try to get rid of it. We hope to plant basil, parsley and other various and sundry herbs/seasonings. But I would love flowers too.
ReplyDeleteWe have found some old folding chairs in the closet and will put them out. I am excited for that. It is so lovely to be outdoors. The little hyacinth up and died, but it was pretty while it lasted. We put some pretty little potted shrubs there and they seem to be thriving.
I can hardly wait to try out the griddle.
Festinord is the last week of July and we are really looking forward to it.
The garden plot is looking GOOD! Yea for a baptism..and for a sister preparing to go to the temple.
ReplyDeleteYou are sounding too much like a native Dane! You'll get back here and immediately return if this keeps up. L&P
Hey....One I don't sound like is a native Dane.....but I am hoping to be understandable to a Dane one day.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to get some flowers in.
