Itchy fingers, chicken pie, boxing and the rapture...

My oh my!, what a weekend this has been.

We had a long weekend here in DK as Friday was 'big prayer day', sadly Fee had to pop into work so I made use of the the quite time here to tidy up the flat and cook up a storm in the kitchen.

Dinner that night was home made chicken & sweet corn pie with garlic roasted wedges.

So nice, will have to do this again.

As well as a tasty dinner I was once again called upon to whip up a Cheesecake, this time I did the full size version of the Oreo cookie cake I did the other week. We had been invited over to Christine's for dinner and we were in charge of bringing desert.

Mmmmm more Cheesecake.... this one was mighty good and I ate far too much of it.

I was worried we may not get to eat it seeing as 'The Rapture' was meant to be hitting this Saturday. However I figured all the best Metal bands would be in Hell anyway so I would be OK if things did happen. \m/

As I waited for Fee & the rapture I had a little drink.

"Cheers!"

My fingers are rather itchy now, I have to be careful not to scratch at them.

The Tattoo on my arm is healing well and I promise to get a pic up soon.

So it seemed the end of the world had been put off for a while and we decided it was safe to go out and see Christine. We were not the only guests for dinner that night as Sven; Lizze and little Amelie were also on the guest list.

"Look Amelie, his going to Hell when the rapture comes."

"You is going to helllll"

We even had a little visiter from next door in the form of a cute little French Bull-dog puppy. The little thing got so excited it peed a little, cute but messy. It also turns out Amelie likes animals.... but only from a safe distance while in somebody's arms.

Both parties safely separated.... for now!

We had a great night with yummy food and lots of Cheese cake and great friends, but the main event was the boxing match beetween my cousin George Groves and his bitter rival James Degale.

'St George Groves'

I'm glad I was nice to him when he was a little boy.

Degale was cocky, rude and smug all though out the lead up to this fight. George kept his cool and came out the bigger man for it.

However, no amount of smugness saved Degale from losing to George (for the SECOND time I might add) on points. George used his head and out boxed Degale who was thrown off his game. It was a tough fight indeed and me & Fee almost passed out a few times, I also think we gave the people next door a heart attack when George won because we screamed SOOOO LOUD!!!

Bruised, bloody but over the moon.

Well done mate, we are all VERY proud of you.

Friday Cat is happy.

Friday Cat wants you to have a happy Friday......

Happy New Year....EAT EAT!!

So here are a few pics from our first Chinese New Year party in DK. Not sure why we have not done it before but i'm sure we will do it again!

We started to prep stuff the night before and got started early the next day. Here's Fee demonstrating how to fold a Won-ton.

Our French friend FX came over a little early to help and

pick up some Chinese cooking tips.

This plate was FULL by the end....and so were two more plates with various dumplings. Mmmmmmmm.

Spring-Roll manufacturing in full swing.

Santi and his mom Patti enjoying some candy.

We needed Patti there as she is actually Chinese!

Little Ella is a little suspicious of me and always keeps an eye on me.

Amelie however is more than happy to hang out with me as long as I have fruit

and toys that light up.

There they are.....just look at them eating all MY food!

Fee and Adrian became the best of friends.

Summer house in winter...

Ok, you will have to wait for the full Xmas update but for now you can have a look at the summer house Fee has rented for my upcoming birthday. Some friends of ours are coming to join us for a little party on new years eve. :)

This is the main room, big and cosy.

Thats a good thing because its still VERY cold outside.

We have a pool a Jacuzzi and even a sunna!

Cool little games room with pool, table football and some ping-pong.

More cuteness..

We were baby sitting this little cutie last night. We even managed to get her to bed without grumpiness. :)

Friday night...

Nothing better than hanging out with some pals after a long week at work. Christine invited a few of us offer for dinner and drinks, which is great because she live across the street!... so we dont need to stumble far to get home. :P

Fee has wine... it must be Friday!

Awwww...

Lizzy was so happy to have some wine that she collapsed with joy!

Fee being offered one of Amelie's many grapes. Let just say Amelie had one to many and the night did not end to well for her. :/

Very yummy walnut and Apple salad.

"Oh hi!"

"Wat is dis you offer me?"

Amelie was teaching Sven how to use a knife and fork....he still needs some practice.

Om nom nom!

"No Dane, no!"

Forgot to take a pic of the yummy chocolate cake, but as you can tell it was yummy.

Baby-fest!

After eating and drinking far too much at Christine's on Friday night I was finding the kiddy birthday party we had to go to on Saturday hard work. Out buddy Bas has his birthday on the same day as his little girl who turned one. There were lots of kids and lots of noise.... I lasted a few hours then said my goodbyes... haha

Mixing this with a hangover is NOT recommended.... and this is only a small portion of the kids in shot!

Adrien likes the taste of Fee's cardigan.

He also likes to fly.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Little Amelie was not feeling herself that day and was happy to chill with her Mummy and chew on some bread.

This kid is always a hand-full at party's.

Little Chloe was getting rather excited... I think this was due in part to the 500 M&M's she had eaten.

Christine found Adrien to be rather huggable. :P

Amelie comes to say hi...

Well today was a bit of an odd day after yesterdays news but all in all it was ok. Work was productive, managed to sort out getting the electrician over to fix the lights and best of all....we got to babysit Amelie. Nothing cheers you up more than hanging out with a cute baby. :)

Amelie likes her reflection.

Choices, choices...

After a bit of a play and some dancing it was time for some milk, and boy was this baby hungry. She put a lot of effort in to that bottle of milk and she went into a little 'milk coma' for a while. she was very relaxed and happy....as long as you didn't take her empty bottle away!

My precious!

Up to speed.

This is the calm before the storm people!

Me and the wife have some major renovation work planned over the upcoming long weekend here in Denmark. So expect some major photo updates to come, but until then I figured I would bring you all up to speed on what I have been up to of late.

Yesterday we had some guests pop by our flat to say Hi and have some Nom. One of then was my very small but very cute German friend.

Beanbags are rather good baby holders it turns out.

"What on Earth are you talking about woman.."

We finally got our Velux blinds though the other day (well over a week ago actually) but being the 'Groves house' things never run smooth. The blinds have two inserts or pull downs, one is for total black out and the other allows some light in without you being seen from the outside. This is where the problems began, I got the one in the guest room all set up...

Screen for black out made.

Screen for not-so-black out mode.

All was going well with the one in the main bedroom until I had to clip in the one for the screens. One clip would just not go into place, I figured I missed something so I went over all my steps. Then I spotted that there was an problem with the Left & Right clips that go on each side. What was the problem you ask? They were BOTH LEFT CLIPS!

You cant really see but there is a big L on each clip...one of the should have a big R.

So we need to pop back to the shop at some point and get it changed which is a real pain in the bum.It took a few weeks for these to arrive so we will probably have to wait for the replacement...oh well.

But as mentioned before we are planning something big for the weekend, so we needed to get lots of DIY supplies. Yay! Man shopping. :)

No, not he Band or the design school....but the DIY store.

We got bags of stuff but i'll show you all that next time.

We will also be need this bad boy for the up coming works....stay tuned!

As well as DIY supplies we also needed to get some shopping for food and other stuff. We have been super busy of late so this was a BIG shop as we were running very low on Nom!

Well, that should keep us going for a few days.

(I couldn't get the rest in shot)

All those years of Tetris paid off.

Skillz...I has thems!
