My own app!! or not :(

I thought I had built my first app for my blog. Without any help!

But, I think in the end all I managed was to turn it into a mobile-friendly page if you use an android. Maybe I shall delete it again. What do you think?

When we tried it on another mobile it didn’t download an icon but it showed the webpage in a mobile friendly way without installing an app, which is much better, really. But you can also bookmark the page if you prefer and have a bookmark on your mobile. Don’t choose the view off-line version – it is quite big.

Don’t click on the link to my site via fb if you are on your mobile phone – instead open the browser (the internet-globe) and type the address yourself!

I would love your feedback in the comments field on this please!

Mello – 4

Today we have enjoyed a very nice brunch at the Elite Hotel Saltsjöqvarn to celebrate my aunts sisters birthday! It was very nice and the food was very good. So fun to meet everyone too!

The last part of the Melodifestivalen takes place tonight and we are invited to my sisters’ again. Our turn to bring the wine – but my husband is not well so we have to go without him. This winter has really been hard on us with one flue to the next for months. Now we need spring and a nice break in our paradise to regain some energy.

Straight to the finale: Anton Evald and Alcazar
Second chance: Ammotrack and Ellinor

Sotji – day 15

The Olympics has almost come to an end – only this weekend left to enjoy. It’s been one of the most successful Olympics in a long time for Sweden – and still chances left to fine performances and medals.

Today we had a poor start with the women 30 km cross country mass start. Our ski-queen was not really well today with a slight cold and she wasn’t able to match the other ladies. Emma Wiken was best of the Swedish ladies today and ended up on the 8th position. Very good job on her behalf.

The men’s slalom – second run starts in an hour – so far all four Swedes are doing quite well. Let’s hope one or two of the manages all the way – they are in the 2nd and 3rd position right now.

Men’s biathlon isn’t going well for us unfortunately. Our team has not been successful this year.

New baby

A lot of things to celebrate today and on top of all our princess Madeleine gave birth to a baby girl. Her husband was on the news sharing their joy.

My biggest joy today had nothing to do with babies and everything to do with hockey. Can’t wait for Sunday, tucked in my corner cheering on our pride and joy.

Added a counter here today – looking forward to see if anyone is interested in “the world – as I see it”..

Sotji – day 14

A very good day for Sweden !

We managed to win the bronze in curling after a very nerv wracking game against China.

Anna Holmlund won a bronze in ski-cross and our 17 year old Sandra Näslund came in 5th. Great job!

And our hockey team – Tre Kronor – managed to defeat Finland in the semi finals. Wonderful!

US-Canada tonight – I wonder who we will meet on Sunday..

Our slalom ladies managed quite well – two top 6 – but no medals.. 🙁

Sushi and snow

This morning we were surprised to find the world dressed in snow again. Really pretty but hey – we want spring now! It’s been quite cold again too so I guess the snow will remain on the ground for a bit.

Sushi for lunch. I always swap the white fish and the shrimp for avocado. Sushi House on Brahegatan usually has really good sushi but I was disappointed today for some reason. Can’t really set the finger on why.

Sotji – day 13

This was not the best day for Sweden.. but, we did achieve a silver medal in women curling. Our new team has almost managed to maintain the high level our old team had – team Norberg won gold the last two Olympics.

Our ladies lost the bronze game in ice hockey with 4-2 after being in the lead 2-0 after two periods. What happened? However, fourth place is a great position so good work!

We had really high expectations on our guys in ski-cross but they had a very bad day in the slopes and didn’t even manage to get to the semi finals.

New day tomorrow!

Coughing

Still coughing pretty bad. I’m getting sick and tired if this now. Hope my new medicine will work.

Two more days then the school closes for a week of winter break. Without snow. I will be home with my kids for a couple of days. Looking forward to that!

Sotji – day 12

What a day!

First we won the ice hockey quarter final with 5-0 towards Slovenia. Finland just defeated Russia and will be our opponents in the semi finals.

Then we managed to achieve two bronze medals in the team sprint classic – and our curling ladies played themselves to the finale by defeating Switzerland in the semi finals.

Now we have another semifinal in curling today – the guys this time – and also our figure skater Victoria Helgesson is competing.

Farmacy

I am so sick of this cough – it’s been almost a month now. So today I went to the doctors and they gave me my favorite answer – it’s a virus.. got new cough medicine but no antibiotics. Not much else to do than just try to survive a bit longer. My body feels like it has ran a marathon or something.
