Sleepy sunday

I had sleep in morning today, while M. was put on kids duty. At 10 o´clock he woke me up with a hot cup of Nespresso coffee and steamed milk. A perfect way to start the morning if you ask me.
Now, after going through a large pile of pancakes with syrup, we are on our way to go to Lichfield. I don´t know much about the city but we heard it is worth a visit. Will let you know if it is true.

Yesterday we went to Nottingham, which I love. It´s perfect for shopping and we discovered this store with super bargains on sports and outdoor equipment the first time we where there. I think by now, we are one of their best customers as it is impossible for us to leave the store without buying something. This time we found new "running" shoes for S. for 7 pounds, crocs for Mattias for 8 pounds and nice hiking socks for a tenner.*

At LUSH you could get your face painted and S. walked around as a little cat for the rest of the day. While the lady was doing S. face a guy came in and ask if she could turn him into Tom Cruise. Guess I would have stayed a bit longer had she said yes. ;)

We ate Lunch/dinner at Wakamama and S. loved the chopping sticks so much that she decided to ask whether she could take some home. She took a handful and bravely went over to the lady that served us and said in german: "WOMAN, can I take them home?"
It cracks me up every time she says woman (Frau), not only because it is a funny way to address a person but also because she can´t pronounce it correctly and says "Sau" instead, meaning sow. Luckily, the waitress did not get a word. ;)

After Nottingham City we went to IKEA so that M. could get some swedish food. He is happy like a child every time he gets to buy Swedish buns, sausages, beer and candy. :)
Before we went inside we had S. play at the playground for a bit, where she had an encounter with a chubby girl. She looked at the girl and then shouted quite amazed: "Mommy, the girl must have eaten LOTS of candy. She is chubby". Luckily, she said it in german this time as well...

Oh, and if you wondered why I did not buy anything in Nottingham then let me tell you that I had already done my part of shopping in Ashbourne in the morning. They have a HUGE sale at Saks and I bought clothes (Odd Molly!!!) for 1/3 of the regular price. Guess if I was happy.

That is it for now. Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn´t start raining, the sky does not look very promising...
