It is Fun Saturday on Pinch Ourse Island!
With Tomsmom's LV visit delayed, Remainsilly chasing giants in Norway I wonder what everyone else is up to. Senf is unpacking boxes and Murphy is taking DD back to school (I guess).
I might be going to the favorite bookstore (all books half the price) and have a look at final summer sales. But thanks to temperature up and downs I am feeling very dizzy - so I might stay at home and read a book. :)

:heart:
The stave churches were constructed by shipbuilders. Feel so homey, yet solid.
Usually runes or dragon drawings hidden along inside eaves, as protection.
Saw another today.

So which D&B did you choose?

Yes! Trying to master the chaos!
Not as easy as thought! Tomorrow my new sofa will be delivered (it is about the price and the amount of leather that I would usually spend for bags ;) )
Tried to unpack my bags yesterday- but have too many for the new closet- so will be forced to reduce.

Oh dear! Dizziness is something I have been through several times.
Something to do with internal ear.
If it happens when you lie down and lasts about ten seconds that might be it.
In that case a session with an osteopath can solve the problem.
I hope you are feeling better today, Ludmilla.:smile:
