First snow

The forecast had promised snow today and we had received some during the night but barely covering the ground. During lunchtime it started to snow some more and then it changed to some sort of rain. Not very nice. Tonight they have promised more snow so maybe we will wake up to a winter wonderland tomorrow.

Celebrations in order – our youngest received his expected offer and has accepted the job and will start on Monday. Yeah! So proud of him and so happy that he has finally found something to do. He will start with a paid two-weeks training before the real job starts. Congratulations, son!

Pyssel hos A – 19 nov

Dags för myskväll med bästa tjej-gänget! A bjöd på en supergod lasagne med tillhörande sallad. Mm. 

Efter middagen blev det en match med “när då då?” – kul med ett lagom spel utan krångliga regler. Vi planerade nästa pyssel i början av december och kom fram till att baka småkakor är trevligt. Får se vad det kan bli för gott. 

Småkaka i form av hembakad hallongrotta serverades till kaffet / teet. Inte dumt! Bra kväll med mycket prat – precis som det ska vara! 

Happy day

A great start of the week. Our youngest accepted the job offer and if everything goes well he will get the formal offer on Wednesday. Yeah! Fingers crossed it will work out and that his references will give him a good recommendation.

Even though the job is not signed and for sure yet – this deserved a special treat so I picked up some flowers and a princess cake on my way back home from work. So proud of him and his efforts in looking for work.

A very cold start with snow in the forecast for later this week. So glad we have already switched to winter tires.

Domestic worker

My husband surprised the family with a new gadget – meet our domestic worker who will vacuum and clean our floors for us. Fingers crossed it will be reliable and capable. So far so good. 

Nice with a day off. And no need to vacuum today – lol. 

Our oldest is visiting his friends so it’s just three of us for dinner. Maybe we’ll get some pizza or something. Haven’t had that in a while. 

Baking

Busy Saturday doing house-chores of various kinds – my husband has assembled the new lid to our spa, I’ve been baking two kinds of rolls – both butter rolls and cinnamon rolls. A nice treat for tonight and also great to keep in the freezer for later. 

I made a nice trout for dinner – served with white wine sauce, boiled potatoes and a sallad. Mmm. Pork filet for the boys. Would be nice if they too could start enjoying a fish-dish, but I guess that is not in the cards. 

We’ve been watching the Netflix-series “The perfect couple” with Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber. It’s a mini-series – we like those. Anyone seen it? 

Sunrise

Friday again and the sun was rising when I waited for the bus this morning. So pretty and a good start of the day. 

Meet up with my oldest niece and it was great to enjoy her company going into town. We don’t have the same hours anymore so it’s been a long time since we could go together. 

After work I walked over to the next subway station just to enjoy the Xmas decorations and shopping for black Friday. Per usual I didn’t buy anything… lol. Let the weekend begin! 

Listen

Today I got a lot of things done – managed to clear away all the electronics I had set myself out to do. Perfect.

Tonight we are having an after-work event but I decided to do the right thing and listen to my body this time. And my body said NO. I’m too tired for an all-out-evening when I have a work-day tomorrow with a lot of things planned. So, I didn’t go with my colleagues. I hope they have a great time! 

Haircut

I had a haircut booked after work today – so nice with some me-time and to get rid of some bad hair-ends. Perfect. Now I feel like a new person.

I decided to not attend the afterwork event tomorrow. I am too tired and an evening filled with music & drinks on a Thursday is just not for me at the moment. But, I hope my colleagues have a great time, which I have no doubt they will. I’m also fairly sure I will be more or less by myself at the office on Friday. Lol.

Third game

What a difference in the weather today compared to yesterday. Quite cold but sunny and clear blue sky. So nice!

Our new heater took some extra work to get it in place so they worked on it almost all day. Puh. Hopefully it will be a noticeable change in the cost of electricity after this upgrade. And that it will work like a clock for many many years from now.

Tonight we are cheering on our ladies who are playing their second away-game in the Champions League. This time facing Manchester City. Fingers crossed!

We have a lot of supporters who have traveled to England for the game. Great support might give them the extra boost!

We ended up loosing the game 2-0, but we gave them a good fight and stood up really well. Good vibes for the home-game next week.

Grey day

New week – new challenges. Nothing much planned besides an after-work-event on Thursday.

Oh – and tomorrow we will receive our new heater. The old one has survived the last 20 years so we decided to replace it before it breaks down on a very cold day in the middle of the winter. That’s what happened last time..

So right now our living room is filled with everything we cleared out from our laundry room to make room for tomorrow (the heater is in the laundry room). Puh. Going to be great when this is finished but right now the house is a mess.
