We are at the timeshare villa thingie that my in-laws have reserved for this week. DD is running about with her two cousins, and the grown-ups are going about their own business -- reading, going out for walks etc. Good times.
The villa is quite nice, three bedrooms, a large living room area and a loft. Beds for eight and some spare mattresses, too. We are five adults and three kids, so it's pretty perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped and the nearest shop is just about a kilometer away. And the internet works perfectly, there's also a computer upstairs, but it has been overtaken by the kids.
My MIL is a phenomenal cook and baker, she does good basic Finnish dishes that are to die for -- so this week DD and I are eating meat. Not the end of the world for either of us. And the meal times and coffee breaks come at regular hours, so energy levels are kept at max.
I brought along DD's laptop (I still don't have one of my own), a book, a crocheting hook and some yarn so I should be well entertained. The kids will do some swimming and downhill skiing (weather permitting) and at one point or another, everyone is kicked out for a walk. Yes, we have done this before, it's like "Dinner for One" , the same procedure as every year. But it's all good.
