Baking Sunday

Sometimes I feel like an energizer bunny. Ore the days just became so long? Anyway, check out this polar bread and the apple pie. Yummy! And after putting your kids to bed, go for a 6 km run in the fresh autumn air :-) I did!

Learning to walk again

Yesterday I said bye bye to my robotic leg, walk real strange now, but feeling just fine.
And welcome snow and winter!

StickyGram in the mailbox

Yay! Received my StickyGrams. They are so cool.

When I came home from work

She was so tired today of playing all day long with her grandparents, that she fell asleep after one of the fairy tales )

The bear-park

We had the trip to the bear park planned for today, and we were so lucky with the weather, it could not have been better. After a couple of hours of driving, we were there.

I can't say Greta really loved the bears. Actually, she was asking to see the ladybugs! But she did enjoy mostly the goats and the sheeps.






Before heading home, Greta was so lucky that she got a Happy Meal in McDonalds :)

The first inscriptions

I love my co-workers and friends! Look, ther started to write nice messages for my on my cast. It makes me smile when I look at it.

Tusenfryd!

Today we spent the whole day in the amusement park. I still think I have a little baby who is not interested in attractions and so on, but she surprises me. Had a great time, but I must say I am tired.

Friday after operation

I was pretty eager to go to work today, but I am glad I did not. Instead I worked at home, at my own tempo, with painkillers, resting from time to time.
1. don't be surprised to see pieces of clutches on half of my pictures now
2. tried a new recipe, and it was quite successful. Quinoa and parmesan muffins
3. Greta being nice to my leg
4. Monster zucchini - the only one successful gardening project this year. There are still lots of them out there. But they invaded my cucumbers, so I should be smarter next year.

Something new for me

For those who are worrying about me, I am fine now. The achilles tendon was operated today and now I have a nice plaster on my right leg. It is pretty funny, because I just received a pair of skinny jeans I ordered last week to replace all of my old jeans with holes on the knees. But I can't try them on.
Coincidence or not, on the jeans that I was going to donate (because of the hole on the right knee) are pretty wide, and cutting right over the hole on the knee I now have a pretty great solution while I have the plaster. I will show you sometime.
Meanwhile, don't worry, I am fine. Let the recovery begin.

P.S. The title of this post means just that now I will have a pretty strange period of my life, where I am really really depend on a lot of help. I am not just saying I can not run or play tennis, I can not walk and I can not carry things in my hands since I am using crutches. So I really, really need to be patient. 

Wish me good luck tomorrow

I was playing tennis today and broke the Achilles tendon, or how it is called in English anyway...
Operation tomorrow

Our joyful Monfay

For those who worry about Greta's skin infection: she is much much better, you can not even notice if from not so close. The legs are nice and smooth, no antibiotics anymore, just a cream until thursday when we have another check up. She will be even better soon. I am am working on a natural cure for the remaining molluscus that we will still have after the rest is cured. Research going on and I start feeling confident about it.
Meanwhile we are enjoying our last summer days feeding ducks in the ricer and eating the rest of blueberries.
