– as I see it..
I feel so proud of myself – I have been skiing all day (well.. a few hours..). It went really well except for the fog which made it very tricky to see where to ski. But, we went out right after breakfast, had lunch in the skislopes and then went down the hill again afterwards. Tonight we are invited to our friends cottage for dinner!
What a day! First packing and cleaning all morning to leave the house in Gopshus. Then a few hours drive over to Norway for a short weekend with downhill skiing at this great resort. We met up with friends from home and the boys have been skiing all afternoon and had a great time. It is a lot of snow here but unfortunately very foggy. Tonight it has been snowing heavily all evening. We went down to the village where our friends stay and had a lovely dinner together. Tomorrow I face a great challenge.. will I survive a day on skis? We’ll see..
Oh – and we are in a 6-0 lead towards Slovakia – semi final awaits.
Gott Nytt År – what a great new years eve we had. Great food, great games, great friends. Everyone getting along and everyone feeling good. The fireworks here in Dalarna were not nearly as spectacular as they are in town but we saw some and the sky was amazing with all the stars that we can’t see living in a big city.
The weather is still not great but today I have to go out for a bit regardless. Need to get some fresh air and look at the surroundings. Tomorrow awaits a new destination and challenge.
Happy new year everyone! Gott nytt år!
It’s raining but we have some snow and we have a great time! Tonight all 27 will be gathered around the dinner table. But first we have a birthday party with coffee and cake to look forward to.
Oh and we played against Russia today. 3-2! Let’s hope we can keep it up now when the serious part of the wc begins. Life is pretty good!
Our turn to arrive to Gopshus – tonight 21 of our closest friends gathered together around the dinner table. Tomorrow all 27 will have arrived.
Now a nice evening among friends awaits – filled with games and laughter.
As you can see the equipment is very modern.. feels like we have been transferred back to another decade!
Third game for Tre Kronor junior team from Sweden – today against Norway. They might be the better nation in cross country skiing but not in hockey. Oh, the game just came to an end – we won with 10-0!!
The boys went to see a movie for their Christmas gift certificates. It was a complete caos over there – no parking anywhere. A good movieday obviously. It was mad at the grocery store too – had to park one block away..
It’s been a quite sunny day with no rain for a change and this morning it was freezing outside.
A lovely dinner at my parents-in-law – boxing day dinner moved to today due to us being poorly.
A quiet last weekend of the year with awful weather – fortunately a lot of sports on tv to enjoy with good results both in the giant slalom and hockey (we won today again – yeah!).
A grey rainy day off from work.. hmm.. what could be better than to cuddle up in my corner, with my coffee and knitting and watch an old movie or two?
Oh – this is the reward of course – I have been to the supermarket, done lunch and started packing for new years. Soon I will start a nice Friday dinner – ribs and steak with french fries. Yum.
Boxing day.. but no boxing today (lol) – ice hockey though! The junior world championships begins today and the tournament is held here in Sweden, in Malmoe. We have a silver from last year in Ufa, Russia and a gold from the year before when we won in Calgary.
We were supposed to have dinner tonight at my parent-in-laws but half of my family is sick so we decided to postpone the dinner a day or two. So a quite different boxing day for us this year. I made a wok for dinner with chicken and noodles to have something other than left-over Christmas food – lol. It was appreciated by everyone I think.
Now I am sitting comfy in my corner ready to cheer on our junior team – let the tournament begin and may the best team win!
Vaccumed the house and tidying some more.. then a burger in the mall before the boys went up to their grandparents to bake gingerbread cookies (a lovely tradition) while I looked around in the stores. Then we enjoyed a nice coffee together when I picked them up.
Now a moment to myself before I will start dinner. New knitting project to dig into – can’t wait!
