Today was meant to be one of those 'visit a museum day' but we changed our minds. The intention was to head out toward Weymouth and visit one of those military museums (educate the boys further on the local war history) but much of the Museum's 'material' is outside (think tanks and trenches). The sky is dark grey and I can honestly think of better ways to die than drown in a trench in order to satisfy hubby's historical fervour.
The boys were relieved that we changed our minds. One wants to head out to play with his mate and the other wants to play some wii. Both boys have spent the past week at the sports club so they are really worn out and feel that they deserve some 'lax' time just chilling. Suits me fine!
I bought hubby the English version of Kristin Lavransdatter written by Sigrid Undset. It is one of my all time favourites but I have only read it in Norwegian. In my ignorance I decided that this is a must for hubby to read. Now he punishes me by reading it to me every night when we go to bed!
I have no idea what inspired somebody to translate it into English -but it's just not the same. Maybe buying him the English translation of 'Hunger' by Knut Hamsun isn't such a good idea after all.
It's Friday and I have booked the local baby sitter so that I can take hubby for dinner tonight. He has been working very hard lately so he deserves a little 'loving'.
Have an excellent weekend.

Good choice for a book and piece of Norwegian history though! My wife was not quite so impressed when I gave her a big fat brick of Norwegian fairy tales. I also tried to make her watch Flåklypa with Reodor Felgen with no success so far, LOL!
LOL, poor girl. I started hubby with 'Julekalenderen' but it didn't go down well.
Wait - Flåklypa is next......
I recommend Flåklypa, besides its more of a guy thing so I think you might be more successful than I was! Good luck!!
