Today I finished Deressing room! It was fun. I played a couple each Gloomy and Lair. I think I might enjoy Gloomy. Lair annoys me, how can anyone let their home get into such a state? I want to tidy and mend the broken window!

Congrats on the new sofa... envy. I brought our two up to the cabin, and need new ones at home. Can't make up my mind what to get, and I refuse to spend a fortune. IKEA most likely.

The painting is unfortunately necessary. Husband owns a 150 + yr old shop, which he rents out to a lovely cafe. He has renovated the old store-rooms at the back, and they like old furniture. So I have painted some old tables and a plate rack. I just have to finish the sideboard. The doors are a pain, all those little profiles. The carpenters are finishing Thursday, so Friday we are adding the finishing touches. It's actually quite rewarding, the shop was started in the mid-1800s by his great grandfather, and is the valley's oldest shop still being used for business. They do excellent custard slices and a yummy creation called Kvæfjordkake (Verdens Beste "The World's Best Cake").

Then we go home and do all the cleaning, baking, decorating and shopping next week. Aaargh. (I have baked a Chrissy cake and pudding and bought a few presents. Barbie and LEGO rule.)
