New week already. I worked my hours and got home for a late lunch. Then relaxed for a bit before it was time to start dinner.
Decided to order something on line to get my hands on – haven’t done any cross-stitch or needlework in ages and I miss it. So, I looked in the online catalogue from Ateljé Margaretha and found a pillow-case that I ordered. Something to keep me away from my computer and cellphone .. And focus on something else for a change. Hopefully it will work.
Tonight we play the third game in the group play. 8 teams in each group. Top 4 goes thru to the quarter finals. Tonight there is a lot of prestige in the game since we are facing Finland. The only good thing about having Finland in the same group is that we will not have to face them in a quarter final. May the best team win!
Shopping
Sunday already and our youngest got off to work again. Tough to work weekends, but he is a trooper.
Me and hubby went over to the Livli Mall to take a look around. I found a pair of shoes in the outlet, which was great. Then we wanted to get some lunch but ended up going over to IKEA to eat. Half price compared to the other lunch places and ok food, so win-win. A bit too lively though with all the families with young children.
We went back home for the afternoon coffee and to watch the Hammarby-game on TV. Let’s hope they manage to get 3 points today – fingers crossed.
PS! We got a 1-1 tie. Bummer. But, 1 point better than no point.
Too exciting
What a day. After our regular chores we crashed in front of the women soccer derby between our team and AIK. What would be a safe win ended up being a sad loss. 1-0. First loss this year for our ladies.
Then our pride and joy was facing Austria in the ice hockey tournament. Another safe win, as we thought, but it turned out to be a pure struggle. First goal from them, we managed to catch up, second goal from them. 2-1 when we had 3 minutes left and we managed to turn it around to a 2-4 win with three quick goals in the 57-58 minute. Amazing. Too exciting, if you ask me.
Now the last episode of “Ludwig” on SVT play. Let’s hope my pulse will go down before it is time for bed. Lol.
SoccerjerseyFriday
Today, it is the SoccerJerseyFriday 2025 when we once again team up against Childhood Cancer.
Support The Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund in their amazing work and dedication to ensuring every child with cancer survives and lives a good life. Children and cancer don’t belong together. Together, we can make a difference! Visit their website (www.barncancerfonden.se) for more information or to make a donation!
A great ending of a long week – we were invited to my parents for Friday dinner. Mom treated us her “pannbiffar” that we all love. Mmm.
Now some corner time cheering on our pride and joy playing their first game in this years edition of Ice Hockey World Championships played here in Stockholm. Co-hosted with Denmark. Tonight facing Slovakia.
Go Sweden!
Beef stroganof
Today we decided to try a to us new restaurant. We have been to Boqueria in the Mood Galleria and Torget is a sister restaurant to that one situated right next to Boqueria. The dish of the day was beef stroganoff and it was delicious. So, I’m sure we will go there again. And the price was a lot less than at the Boqueria. Win win.
Long day but not very busy. Got home on time and when I arrived back my hubby had prepared dinner. Nice.
Now we are going to watch another couple of episodes of the SVT-series “Ludwig” (Pusseldetektiven) that was recommended to us by my sis (I think). And it is quite good – so thank you!
Midweek
A very busy day with several meetings before lunch. But, they all went according to plan.
Had lunch with a new acquaintance that I met at a seminar a few weeks ago. We really clicked so we decided to get together and today we met. We had a great chat and decided to do it again within not too long.
Helped my oldest build his new gaming chair that we got for his birthday. His old one has really filled its purpose and is now ready for the waste disposal site. Lol. But, he has spent a lot of time in it for several years so a new one was well over due.
Plat du jour
A long very busy day today so we decided to go out for a nice lunch to get a break and re-charge. We went over to Vau du Ville – a lovely little place on Norrmalmstorg that we enjoy. The plat-du-jour (lunch of the day) was a Salmon Florentine which is served with spinach and a poached egg. Mmmm.
My youngest is working evenings this month and hubby has evening meetings all week so it was just me and my oldest for dinner. I had left-over pasta from yesterday (mmm) and he had chicken with pasta. Perfect to make good use of the left-overs.
Pyssel hos K – 5 maj
Äntligen dags för en kväll med de bästaste (som vi brukar säga). Jag var värdinna för kvällen och gick en sväng förbi Panduro för att hämta inspiration till något vi kunde pyssla. Ingen framgång, tyvärr.
Men, jag lagade pennepasta med en sås med lövbiff, purjolök, champinjoner och lite hetta av sambal oelek, vitlök o dijonsenap. Hembakade kuvertbröd vid sidan om. Och en vienetta-glasstårta till fikat.
En mysig kväll där alla kunde vara med. Mycket att avhandla med vad som händer i allas liv – tankar, skratt och prat. Bra för själen. Nästa träff bestämdes som vi har att se fram emot om en månad ungefär,
Hail
Great day – sports wise.. Our Tre Kronor won the pre-tournament in Czechia with three wins and no losses. The World Championships begins on Friday here in Stockholm.
We decided to take a nice 3k walk in-between the sport events – lol – since the sun was shining and we wanted to get some steps in. 1.5k away from home it started to hail and it got pretty bad so we hurried back home again. So much for a nice walk! When we got back it stopped. Oh well.
Our soccer team managed to get a comfortable 3-0 win in an away game towards Öster. Great. I’m so glad for the goalscorers – both are in my Fantasy-team. So, great point into my account. A good day!

Gardening
After breakfast the four of us went over to Kungens Kurva to run some errands. We managed to get everything done and brought some lunch with us back home.
This afternoon we have worked some in the garden – hubby cleaning the tiles in the outdoor area and I have trimmed our roses and also planted the two geraniums that I bought as a start. I will add some more plants as spring continues – but nice with these bright pink ones to start with.
We are going to bbq a picana-steak tonight so it is resting on the counter as we speak while hubby is out running and I’m watching soccer on tv. So nice to have this extended weekend to enjoy – but time goes by way too quickly. Only one day left.
