Thursday & Freja

Yesterday was games day, but unusually people started turning up at 11am rather than the usual 5pm. The idea was to play during the day and finish earlier, but this didn’t really work too well. The main problem for me was fatigue. Freja’s whining and complaining has reached epic proportions now and she woke us up numerous times, both last night and the night before. By the time my friends began arriving on Thursday I was already pretty tired and truth be told, not really in the mood for so much company. I get grouchy with a lack of sleep.

The day was not a total loss though for we had some interesting debate regarding ship types for skirmish games and my friend Oleg dropped a bomb on me by suggesting I build a galley model next. This sort of threw me for six at first since I was leaning more and more towards the Caravella Latina, but during the night, as I lay listening to Pipski’s eternal crying I mulled the idea in my head and now I’m quite interested in the idea. It would after all be a very different ship type to the Nao but a natural foe.

Freja had a pretty good day. We were all at the botanical gardens with Mette’s Aunt Lillian. It was my first time in the park with my daughter and I enjoyed it mightily. Most of the trees don’t yet have any leaves, but the weather was good. It was sunny and bright with only the slightest breeze. Pipski was supposed to be wearing a hat but she pulled it off every time.



Freja har haft en ret god dag idag. Vi var alle sammen i botanisk hav sammen med Lillian, og det var første gang jeg har været ud i ’naturen’ sammen med Pip, så det var rigtig hyggeligt. Jeg havde en ret så kraftig hovedpine (og har den stådigvæk) så jeg blev ikke så længe, bare en halv time måske. Freja havde en hat med, men den gad hun bestemt ikke at har på. Hun er bleven ret bestemt her på det sidst par uger og kan godt være hidsig hvis ikke hun for sin vilje. Vi er begyndte at sige ’Nej!’ til hende når hun går hen til fjernsynet eller andre farlig/dyr ting og nogen gang gider hun godt hør efter. Hvis man fjerner hende fra det hun er interesseret i, kan hun godt flip ud.
