Month: March 2015

It started snowing last night and I guess it didn’t stop for quite a few hours. A very sunny and lovely day.. but winter is back and spring is no where to be seen. Hopefully it is just a temporary set-back and it will be gone in a day or two.

Tonight we have something really fun to look forward to – we are going to a dinner and concert at HamburgerBörs to see Orup in his restaurant show. All of us girls in the “Pysselklubben” are going together with our hubbies. The reviews from the show have been fabulous – no bad critic what so ever – so I am having really high expectations. “Är ni redo? Jag är redo!”

Finally Friday.. Went to buy fish & chips for lunch and saw these gorgeous shrimp sandwiches and had to take a picture. Might treat myself one next time. 

This has been  long week – but I have managed to walk at least one 2km walk per day which I am proud of.

Today it is spring equinox – and the day started with sunshine and +3C, switched over to rain and now it is snowing. What happened to spring?

Sometimes you just need to stop and enjoy the moment.

Walking back from work the lake was stunning. Sun setting. Darkness slowly arriving. Tucking us in for the night.

Life is not so bad.

After work I decided to walk a few subway stations through the city instead of skipping the last bus. It was really nice in the sunshine with all the tourists and shops. And I only stepped in to two of them.. bought a book for my oldest that I know he has been longing for and a sports-bra for myself. The old one was years over-due.. lol

Stepping into my taxi-mom job in a minute – let’s hope he has a great practice – that would make me smile.

Last winter I knitted a lot of Stenmark caps with different designs. This winter my focus has been on knitted mittens instead. The first one was a lesson learnt – but these two turned out pretty good and I am very proud of them! It was freezing this morning so I wore them to work and my colleagues said a lot of nice words too! Felt good!

I kept up my good effort from yesterday and walked to the subway this morning. Felt really good. Since I work late on Tuesdays and it is still really dark when I get home at this hour I took the walk before work instead of after.

Short day at work and a lovely sunny afternoon to enjoy. Since the snow has melted away and it is light outside again I have decided to try to get back into my good habit of walking. So, I took the first step of that decision today – and it was lovely.

Fingers crossed I will keep it up! Still have a few pounds to loose..

A lovely Sunday with spring feeling – crocuses and snow drops in bloom in the garden and sunshine all day.

Rounded up the good day together with a dear friend listening to a gospel concert in church where another friend was singing in the choir. It was really nice to see her again and we had plenty to talk about before and after the concert.

A good Friday. Met an old friend for lunch – and with “old” I don’t mean she is old – I mean we have been friends for ever. I have a couple of those – and they mean the world to me. It is a special feeling to have a friend who knows you from your previous life, so to speak.

My hero – Henrik Lundqvist – is a true fighter. Never seems to give up. Soon it is time for the world championships. I really hope he will be able to play.

Today I received a thank you for a greeting I sent.. from a European Champion.. That made me smile!

It was really nice this morning – the sun is already up now when we go to work so we get longer days with more sunlight hours. Spring is slowly getting here – flowers are in bloom here and there but we still have quite cold nights with 23F (-5C).

Made a really wholesome hotpot with pork and root veggies the other day – the boys were not thrilled lol – and today I added red lentils – the boys ate something else lol. It is so hard to come up with ideas what to eat. I need inspiration. I have a big challenge too with all these opinions and allergies to consider when choosing what to cook.
