Good food for a job well done!

Been a busy week here for Mr & Mrs Groves. Fee's company is moving to a fancy new HQ and I had a big presentation at work to prep for. When we are busy at work the household chores takes a back seat, so today we hit the apartment and gave a it a good tidy up! Even got round to sorting out the new internet line..... so it was a productive day!

As a pat on the back to both of us I made something nice for dinner..........

Mushroom & Chicken Risotto

Our friend Christine brought us some nice risotto rice back from Italy, so this was a nice chance to give it a try. Turned out pretty tasty.

I even made some 'Pesto Snails'

Rocking in Denmark.....

It has been a rather rocking time in Denmark of late and the future is looking just as good. Bands are coming out of the woodwork and playing in Denmark. I hope the pace of good bands coming over keeps up as the live scene is one of the things I miss about London.

Went up to Copenhagen last month to see Enter Shikari with my buddy Adrian.

Great live band and a great show.

Just over a week ago I got to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers with Fee and some friends.

You cant help but like RHCP.

Going to be seeing Bring me the horizon in a couple of weeks in Copenhagen along with....

 The mighty Devildriver who are amazing live, but they will also be shearing the stage with......

MACHINE HEAD! I am soooo looking forward to seeing them live again.

Found out last night Mastodon are playing in January at a small venue and I got my ticket today!

Even managed to get a ticket for Rammstein but thats much later next year.

I lied.....

Ok, so in my last post I said nothing had been happening while Fee was away and there was not much to show you..... well that was a bit of a lie. Sorry I fibbed to you but I had to insure Fee did not find out what I was up too. Why all the lie's you ask? because I had got this little gift for her.......

That is a Roland digital Piano and its pretty sweet right? Fee donated her previous Piano to her old school when we left the UK and I have been planning to get a new one for her for some time now.

  

There was lots of planning involved and sneaking off to see Pianos over the past few months and a few friends had to get involved with the lie but it all came together in the end. There was an issue with getting the Piano delivered..... basically they couldn't. So in the end I had to hire a rather large car to go pick it up in Arhus and rope my pal Adrian into helping me get it up into the appartment.

 Not huge I know but this is the biggest thing I have ever driven to date.... it was like driving a boat! Haha

Fee was rather surprised when she arrived home to find it sitting there waiting for her, and I have to say its been nice hearing her play again. Having music drift through the apartment is rather nice and makes me smile. She was a little rusty at first but it all seems to be coming back to her rather fast. So maybe a Danish tour will be in order soon... :)

 I got to play a little while Fee was away, but Bass can get rather boring when you are on your own..... really miss playing in a band.

Oh, in cooking news I tried something new in the never ending quest to improve my cheesecake. I attempted a....... wait for it........ 'PEANUT BUTTER' cheesecake and it was rather good. It was a thank you for some of the guys at work for helping out on my project for a few days.

 It's much more 'gooey' than your standard cheesecake but that's Peanut butter for you.
Roof of your mouth goodness.

...... I also made sure to make a mini one for Fee.

iPhone randomness

This week as been super, super busy with work so there is not an amazing amount to report i'm afraid. We have new projects starting up so there is a lot to get up and running from the design side. There is however a few random photos on the phone, so enjoy these until something exiting happens.

 The sky had an amazing colour this morning... this pic doesn't really do it justice.

 Been jamming a little since Fee has been away.... it always turns into a bit of a fire hazard what with all the wires & cables.

 Snapped this at the local recycling center, I always forget to bring my Flamingos for re-cycling.

The local shopping center was doing a 'History of Fashion'..... pretty good looking right?

The lesser spotted Nik....

When I go on work trips with the LEGO gang I tend to act as photographer along with a few others. However unlike most people I get myself into odd places to get shots and I don't normally end up in other peoples photos....... so the joke is that I have become like big foot (was Nik even there? is that him in the background?) so now people try and take photos of me just to prove I was there.... some have more success than others.

There's me, in the far far far far right taking pictures. I'm in shot but you could never PROVE it was me in a court of law.

 On a bollard, hood up, snapping away..... they haven't even noticed me, it's like i'm a Ninja or something!

They almost got me in this one, managed to turn my back before they captured my soul with their picture box.

This is totally on of those fake photoshop jobs, the shadows are all wrong and that's not even my face.

GO TEAM GROVES!!

Daddy Groves and 'the Elf' (that would be my little sister) are doing a half marathon today to raise money for Cancer research. Good luck guys, Mum would be very proud.

GO TEAM GROVES!!!
