Sorry for the pointless thread, but....I had a fantastic week.

I've had friends visit and my OH and I have spent some quality time together (means lots of it). We cleared out a lot of stuff in the bedroom and will be putting the cotbed together in a few weeks. Our storage room is all sorted, so I feel we accomplished a lot.

Yesterday, we went and bought the final bits we need for the baby and have packed the hospital bags. My OH had a dental appointment and aside from one small incident (as detailed in another post), all was well. Our dentist is a friend of mine and we had time to kill before she was off work. So, we went to Camden and bought some fantastic babygro's from Cyberdog for our LO, each in black, so he can look like his parents. We also bought a lovely gothic clock.

We then met up with my friend for dinner and she had a surprise for me. A block of brown cheese from Norway!!!! YUMMY!!! Her sister, my former boss who lives in Oslo, brought it over from there for me and was hoping to meet up with me, but did not have the time. I LOVE this cheese and could not stay away from it when I lived in Norway. Of course, I had a nibble on it today.

I am so glad I feel better now after all the angst of 2 weeks ago.

Brown cheese is a speciality to Norway. There are different types, some sweeter than others. One cheese I love is a dark brown and almost tastes a bit like caramel. You either love or hate this cheese, but most people I know outside of Norway dislikes it.

Here is a link about it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A823024

And I saw some Waitrose places carry it!!! I am in HEAVEN!!!

If it tastes anything like caramel then I know I would love it! Never liked cheese before I was pregnant though! Must pop along to Waitrose, im intrigued now!! xx
