Surprise visit & renovation
Nov. 2nd, 2008 10:34 pmThis was a rather nice weekend. :-)
On Wednesday my parents flew down for a week's visit with my oldest brother Rickard. Unfortunately, his family got sick and he asked our other brother Robert to pick them up at the air port and house them for a night. Robert had plans over the weekend, so it was decided that they should come and stay at my place from Thursday evening to Saturday.
It was a very enjoyable visit. This time, mom slept on the couch and dad on the tourist bed in the living room, and I got to sleep in my own bed in the alcove, which I really liked.
They put up the doors to my kitchen cupboards and my new blinds (made out of wood) in the living room windows. I've been waiting for those two things since the renovations in June, so I'm pleased. Mom also oiled and sandpapered the ashen counter top I bought then, so now my kitchen is finally finished.
I worked until one on Friday, and went to the gym in the evening, but otherwise I spent all the time with them. My flat may be small, but when you have night guests you realise how spacious it really is. Ragnar enjoyed the extra attention. :-)
Rickard came and picked them up on Saturday aftenoon. In the evening, I rented Sex and the City, ate a really nice steak and drank a beer. Today I've baked blueberry muffins. All in all, it was a very good weekend.
