Vi har haft en dejlig juleaften med den samlede spanske og danske familie (et medlem kunne dog ikke komme på grund af arbejde), og det har været superhyggeligt. De bliver her heldigvis i nogle dage, så alle kan få fornøjelsen af de to små favoritmennesker, som er de eneste børn i familien.
Dagen før juleaften havde jeg den store fornøjelse at have favorit storebror sovende her, og efter middagsmaden præsterede vi i fællesskab at slå hans skål med is i stykker. Heldigvis var isen blevet spist! Men der er 9 (små kinesiske) skåle endnu, så vi klarede middagen dagen efter ved, at en person fik en anden skål (mig). Hovedsagen er vel, at alle får dessert.
Juledagsmorgen var det min tur til at ødelægge noget alene. Jeg smadrede min lille 'beholder', som står på min 'arbejdsbakke' med småting som usb stik, card reader osv.
Så kunne man jo blive lidt ærgerlig, men det gjorde jeg ikke, for jeg har oparbejdet en ny vane. Når jeg af en eller anden grund mister noget, kigger jeg mig omkring og finder noget, der kan bruges i stedet - og det lykkes de fleste gange - og altså også denne gang. Jeg fandt et lille sylteglas (et weck glas), og jeg er faktisk meget tilfreds med arrangementet, for den fylder meget mindre, og nu behøver jeg ikke og gå ud og investere i noget nyt.
Jo mere man vænner sig til at se sig omkring i sit eget hjem, før man erstatter noget, jo bedre bliver man til at se nye løsninger. Det er rart at bruge noget, man har allerede.
Well, first of all I hope, that you have had a nice Christmas morning, and that you are enjoying the days off - if you have days off, and if not - that there still is time for having a bit of fun.
We have had a great Christmas eve with the Spanish and Danish family here (one member couldn't come due to work), and it has been super 'hyggeligt' (Danish word for cosy). They are fortunately staying for some days, so everybody get to be together with the smallest favorite persons, who are the only children in the family.
The day before Christmas Day I had the pleasure of having favorite big brother for a sleep-over, and during dinner we managed to drop his bowl with ice cream, and it broke. Luckily the ice cream had been eaten! But there are still 9 (small chinese) bowls left, so we managed dinner the next day by letting one person (me) eat out of another one. The goal is, that everybody gets dessert.
Christmas morning it was all my own doing, when I put something on a shelf and dropped my small 'container' from my 'work tray' with all the small stuff like usb sticks, card reader etc.
So now I could have become a bit irritated, but I didn't, because I have grown a new habit. When I for some reason loose something, I look around and find something to replace the missing 'bit' - and most of the times it works - and so it did this time. I found a small weck glas, and I am actually quite happy with the result, because it takes up less space, and I don't have to invest in anything new.
The more you get used to look around in your own home, before you replace something, the better you get to see new solutions. It is a good feeling to use, what you already have in the house.
