Gæst / Visitor

Nu, da jeg har ferie, var en virkelig vigtig ting at kunne få min nevøs piger på besøg. Det er næsten et år siden sidst! Storesøster er startet i skole, men lillesøster på 3 ville MEGET gerne komme selv og hygge. Trods tilbud om frokost på Flyvergrillen, ville hun hellere bare være hjemme hos mig. 

Så vi fik leget med Lego! Det var rigtig hyggeligt, og jeg blev igen glad for at jeg har noget legetøj herhjemme. 

Now that I'm on vacation, it was really important to be able to have my nephew's girls visiting. It's almost a year since last time they visited one at a time! The big one started school, but the little one would REALLY like to come by all by herself and hang out. In spite of me offering lunch at Flyvergrillen, she would rather stay here. 

So we got to play with the Lego! It was so nice, and once again, I was happy that I do have some toys. 

Til frokost spiste hun rugbrød med smør og ristede leg. Fordi "prinsesser spiser KUN ristede løg!" Hun fik de is som hører med, og vi så "Aristocats". Den var rigtig hyggelig at se igen. 

For lunch, she had ryebread with butter and roasted onions. Because "princesses ONLY eat roasted onions!" She had the requited ice creams and we watched "Aristocats". It was fun seeing it again. 

Jeg fik dog lokket hende ud på en tur til dyrebutikken hvor vi fik kigget på alle de dyr der var. Papegøjen med åbent bur holdt vi dog respektfuld afstand til. 

Hun faldt i søvn nogenlunde til forventet tid og uden for meget brok. Så nu skal vi bare finde ud af hvad vi skal lave i dag. Om vi kommer i biografen eller om det bliver en Disneyfilm til herhjemme. Jeg tror faktisk at det er lige så fint med en film herhjemme med en 3-årig. Det er svært at holde koncentrationen så længe!

I did get her to come with me to the pet shop where we checked out all the animals in the shop. The parrot being outside the cage we passed with a respectful distance, though.

She fell asleep about the expected time, without complaining too much. So now we just need to decide what to do today. If we go to the cinema or if we'll watch another Disney movie at home. I do think a film at home will be just as well considering she is 3. It is hard to stay focused for that long!

Og samtidig med al den hygge sluttede søde Baileys liv alt for tidligt og pludseligt. Hans lymfom kom tilbage og ret hurtigt var det tydeligt at det var tid, hvis ikke han skulle lide. 

Selv om jeg ikke har set ham i knap 2 år, og selv om han vist mest kunne huske mig på leverpostejen, så er det altså trist ikke at skulle se ham her igen. Hunden med næsten uendelig tålmodighed. Hvis man betalte med godbidder, altså. Noget for noget!

And at the same time as all these nice things were going on, sweet Bailey's life suddenly ended too soon. His lymphoma came back quite quickly, and it was obviously the right time, so that he wouldn't suffer. 

Although I haven't seen him for almost 2 years, and although I guess he mostly remembered me due to the liver paté, it's still very sad not seeing this guy again. The dog with a never-ending patience. If you paid in treats, that is. You gotta give to get!
