*sorry if I'm slow working my way through the comments*
The painting is definately well on it's way....fussy becasue the corners are not straight and I hate standing up on a ladder with a small brush...and I mean SMALL brush, reaching out to try to paint yet another layer of some colour down a wonky wall corner where it meets another wall that is another colour.
Frankly I'm mad ...but then my family already suspected as much >D
5 coats of purple paint and ...or is it six...*crap*...anyway at least 2 more to go on the dark dark wall.
...I just want to get those darned shelves up before I leave.
...in 4 days.
...and I have a party to go to Saturday AND Sunday ...in the middle of the day.
*erk*
as for your question, yes that is exactly what a kaffeklatch is...get together to gab with friends over a cuppa joe. :)
My grandmother spoke 5 languages fluently ...as did all her friends (Estonian, Russian, German, Swedish and English) who'd come to our house for a weekly...you guessed it...kaffeklatch. They ...wrote and read them too. So I have a weird smattering of vocabulary that was picked up over the years...plus my Finnish grandparents adding to the mix. I grew up in Jewish part of Torono, moved out to a rural area north of the city (and Irondog) as a teen so you can add a country varnacular to the mix.....then I married a Serbian. My vocabulary is 100% Pure Heinz 57.
:)
I am MUCH better now thank-you...we have sunshine predicted till the middle of next week which = GOOD things in the head I hope.
