The world

The weather changes more quickly than usually even for April. One day it is below zero and the next 20C. It was only a couple of degrees when I went to work this morning but when I got back home summer had arrived. Flowers have started to bloom in the garden, birds are singing, the sun is shining. Life is good. 

I stayed for a couple of hours today since we have a lot of work to do with this new implementation. People need support and have questions and this will continue for a long time. But, we are making progress and that’s great. 

What a day! We have sold our old car and bought a new (used) car. My hubby is very happy and so am I – it was a joy to drive. There is a lot of things to get used to and special adjustments to be made depending on the driver, but one step at a time. 

We had a big launch today at work implementing something new which has taken a lot of time and energy from me lately. But, now we have rolled out the project and now my days ahead will be filled with support and answering questions. So far so good and I think this will be great! 

Hopefully I will sleep like a baby tonight. 

We managed to sleep in for a bit this morning which was great. Also, the daylight savings starts today so we slept in even longer according to the clock. 

We worked some in the garden to enjoy the sunlight before the game started at 2PM. Hammarby faced Göteborg – the team who defeated us in the Svenska Cupen with 4-0.

But, today we managed to turn the numbers around and we won with 4-0. Yeah! Couldn’t be better. And my guys managed to both score a goal and assist so lots of points to my team. Yeah! My niece joined me for the game and we celebrated with a glass of fizz after the game was finished. Not before. Didn’t dare to jinx it. Lol. 

Woke up quite early today and wasn’t able to go back to sleep again. So, I gave up trying and went up to get some breakfast instead.

This afternoon we were invited to my parents-in-law for a waffle-treat. Mmm. We stayed for a few hours to chat and catch up.

Today Allsvenskan started up again and Malmö just managed to win their away-game towards Djurgården. Fun. I have never been interested in soccer before but with this Fantasy Allsvenskan competition it is actually quite fun to follow the teams and players and hope that I have chosen the ones that make the most points each week.

I was awake for a bit this morning when my husband and youngest son went to work. Then I managed to go back to sleep for a few hours. Perfect.

I have taken the day off – the first day off since Xmas. Just what I needed. And what a lovely day it is. 13C outside and sunny. I have been working in the garden raking leafs and taking away weeds and moss from our roses. One step at a time. Now I have prepared an apple-crumble which is cooking in the oven. Hopefully it will be a nice Friday treat for the family tonight!

Tomorrow the soccer season starts (for the men – the women’s season started last weekend) and it is time to put together the team for Fantasy Allsvenskan.

A lot of preparations and things to get done before lunch. We took a break and went out for lunch to get some air and away from the office for a bit. 

This afternoon I attended a seminar about AI, copilot and iManage with both presentations and round-table-discussions. Quite interesting and it gave me some things to consider and think about. 

The event ended with a fizz-tasting session and a four course dinner finished off the day. I took a taxi back home since I had just missed the subway which would catch my bus. 

Great results from the games last night with a 5-1 win in the soccer game and a win in the away-game in the first quarter final in handball. Yeah.

Decided to make a stop on my way home and have some lunch and pick up a few things for the garden. Failed on both counts and ended up having a burger while waiting for the bus in Fruängen. Oh well.

Our garden is starting to wake up after the winter and I love these miniature daffodils we have out back.

No I can – for the first time in ages – enjoy some me-time being home alone. All three guys are at work. Yeah. So, I’m doing some laundry, enjoying a nice cup of coffee while trying to figure out what to prepare for dinner.

Hammarby has managed to reach the final rounds in Handbollsligan and are facing Kristianstad three times starting tonight. Go Bajen!

I will, however, not watch that game because I don’t have that channel. I will instead cheer on our Swedish men who are playing soccer towards Northern Ireland in a practice international contest – so the result doesn’t really matter other than being good practice.

On Saturday the national soccer season starts with the premier of Allsvenskan. I have set up my fantasy team again and opened up my league that our friends are participating in. Fun!

Yesterday when we visited Uppsala we noticed this little mice-bakery in a wall. So cute! It’s called “Alvar & Sagas” and is situated in the corner of Östra Ågatan and Smedsgränd. 

This morning it was -5C outside again. Brrr. When will spring arrive? Still very sunny and nice though and when I went back home from work it was 10C so the winter coat was a bit too warm to wear. Tricky to know what to put on in the morning.
