Mmmm, Julochka made gin cocktails, it’s raining, we’re cosied in the Blue Room, the Blog Camp blend from The Fragrant Muse is burning, the ‘loungey’ music is playing…we’ve done our jump shot….all is well in Blog Camp 2.0 world…
We made clay creatures…
We learnt how to say ‘Spitting on the floor is forbidden’ in Danish…
These guys looked on in horror
It was time to go to lunch…the Blue Room clock said so…
We went to lunch, we took a million photos, we attracted the attention of a local photographer who enticed us in to his studio, we tried to take photos of the local waterfall…here’s Anne…
More later…

I’ve been absent. Life has been giving me a run for my money and briefly bankrupted me. I was 8 hours late for Blog Camp due to having hopelessly not packed in time. No matter…I am now famously late for Blog Camp. I might have to host the next one myself to stop me being late…although plans are afoot for BC 3.0 in New Zealand next February. If I leave now I might be on time?
So here we are at Julochka‘s cool pad…me, Jelica and Anne having a blast. It’s raining right now, Julochka’s daughter is thrashing Anne on the Wii, Julochka is tidying in the kitchen and occasionally smooching the Red Smeg.
I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

I’m a great believer in what will be will be, what goes around comes around and that it all works out for the best in the end. I also believe that we are never given more than we can bear, but that’s a whole different post. Also, I believe that men forgive and forget while women forgive…but they never forget. Ever. Or is that just me?
But today I’m mainly believing in the power of serendipity combined with a dose of things always working out for the best. I’ve had a work ‘thing’ kicking about that’s been eating away at me for a while – I can’t say too much but one of those ‘oh look! An attractive job offer out of nowhere…should I take the money and run or stay and try to negotiate better pay?’ I gave the latter a try and thought I could get it to work. Didn’t work out and, on the day the new job offer all came together I was ‘exited’ by the old job. Kind of a weird feeling but equally it took the ‘stay or go’ decision out of my hands. Serendipity, that’s what I like to call it. So much more elegant than ‘I asked for a pay rise and they fired me’….
On a more positive note I have finally found a web designer to overhaul Chez Spud. Hopefully she won’t disappear half way through the project like the first one did, plus she actually bothered responding to my request for a quote unlike some others. What’s so wonderful is that she is first web designer that I approached back in June. She couldn’t help at that point and I was so disappointed, but she helpfully gave me a list of other people to try. I tried, I failed with them all. I went back to her in the vain hope she was working again…no response (she was on holiday). Then, on the day I heavily hearted started researching wordpress designers yet again, she got in touch to say she was working again, her schedule was open and was I still looking for a designer? Serendipity again? I like to think so.
So the sickly looking butterflies are getting the sack. You’re fired! You’re in good company…
