Month: April 2014

Walpurgis Night – as Valborgsmässoafton is called in English.  Most offices close up after lunch and then we are off tomorrow.

Tonight we will have dinner together with my sis w/ family and our parents. A tradition we started when we bought our house 17 years ago. If the weather allows (they have said it might rain or snow later on) we will go to the festivities and buy some raffle tickets and watch the bonfire. It is usually pretty crowded there so we have a lot of friends and neighbors to see and say hello to.

Have a great Valborg everyone and also a happy birthday to H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf!

I received a lovely present last night – a candle holder made of glass by a Spanish designer. I really liked it.

Busy Tuesday as usual with luncheon at work. It’s been raining today for the first time in a while. Good for the garden and my flowers. And makes life easier for everyone with allergies.

After a very hectic first half of the day I went to the Bloodcentral for a donation. However – since I still have a cough they told me to wait a bit longer. My cough is much better and I don’t take any meds or anything but I guess they are right. Since they had shortage of my blood type I thought I’d ask.

Now a few hours before it’s time for the cake I made yesterday and our guests to arrive. Lovely! 

A lazy Sunday with lovely weather. We treated my parents lunch in our back yard – just some grilled hotdogs but it was really nice to enjoy some time together. After a while my oldest niece came over to spend the afternoon.  My youngest and she have been practising tricks on the trampoline for hours.  Great exercise and time outside. 

I’ve been busy cleaning, doing laundry,  baking, cooking and doing my exercises.  Even sat on the unicycle .. notice I wrote sat.. step one.. lol

Saturday. Sunshine and clear blue sky. But a bit chilly. After my exercises and breakfast I decided to treat my kids plättar for lunch. Plättar are thin Swedish pancakes but really small – you use the same size pan but with 7 small sections in it. I had steamed cod with veggies.. it was lovely to sit outside and enjoy a nice meal.

After that I got busy and cut the grass. My oldest helped some too which was great.  I hope my husband appreciates my effort.. we will see later when he gets back.

Have a great day everyone!

Friday! And the grill is on! First bbq this spring. And a whole weekend with no plans ahead (besides some homework..)

Life is pretty good!

Today I surprised myself by walking up all the stairs to the office. Five floors up. And I did my exercises this morning too. I actually start to feel and notice a difference but I struggle with being hungry.. but it will be worth it in the end. 

No sallad for lunch today – longed for sushi. Unfortunately this one was not that great so I was disappointed.  They are usually pretty good though.

Tonight my youngest is going to the sneak opening of the amusement park – especially for gold card members. I hope he has a fantastic evening with his cousin and friends.

What a day – the weather has been absolutely gorgeous.  I’ve been able to wear my new knitted cardigan and I love it.

After an afternoon at the hospital where my youngest got his second round of allergi shots we came back home and baked scones together. He is quite a clever little chef and I am really enjoying my tea tonight!

Back to work again. It was actually quite ok – I’ve been so busy all day the time just flew by. Spring is here with lovely weather and sunshine. Today I went via my oldest school so I took the commuter train to work.  A nice stroll on a couple of K to start the day. Now on my last bus – still nice and sunny even though it’s close to 7 pm. Have a great eve!

My birthday present from my parents – it was perfect in our livingroom!

Today the sun has been shining all day – we have been working in the garden all day.

We have bought the new trampoline – an oval one – so our youngest is on cloude nine. We have a round one for sale – if you are interested.

Now tucked in my corner cheering on Hammarby playing soccer towards Ängelholm. Last week they played great – let’s hope for a rerun!
