Seasick without the sea

The past 3 weeks or so I've been experiencing increasing frequency of headaches and dizziness, climaxing last week. So today I went to the doctor & found out that it's most likely due to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) . Hopefully with a treatment of nose-spray & seasick tablets I'll be right again after 2 weeks.

Holiday Baking

Sunday was the traditional family Christmas Bake Day, and as usual the kitchen was abuzz with fun, laugher & Christmas cheer. This year I made:
                        ·     Rocky Road
                        ·         Rum Balls
                        ·         Apricot Balls
                        ·         Nougart slice
                        ·         Mini Stollen, and
                        ·         A mashmallow version of White Christmas

Unfortunately the engineering team didn’t get organized this year & there was no amazing gingerbread construction assembled.

Let it snow

After my last blog, the temperatures really dropped & we haven’t been above 0. It has also been snowing nearly everyday. Everything is covered in a beautiful layer of white, and with the beautiful sunny days we’ve been having it’s just lovely.

Two Speed Kid

Joshua only has 2 speeds at the moment…flat out & stop. He’s either running around like a rabbit on caffine or crashed out totally exhausted. It’s fun watching him so full of life & energy, but sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with him, & I too crash exhausted onto the sofa.

Blog to go

(This post was actually written yesterday)

As I write this I’m sitting in the car on the way to Copenhagen. Tom has to go to a course at Rambøll’s head office & asked if I’d like to come along for the ride & partake in a little retail therapy. Of course I jumped at the chance, & who wouldn’t…
·                          * Kid free shopping
·                          *  Big city variety
·                          * Quality time alone with my husband (not while shopping)

So the plan is to get all my Christmas shopping done & hopefully have some time to spoil myself a little too.
