Month: June 2015

A perfect day. Finally some me-time! Feel like a new woman after an hour of back- and neck treatment. Wish I could enjoy this every week. That would be just perfect!

The weather looked pretty good this morning but it got cooler and clouded up after lunch. It might start to rain any minute. Can’t believe this weird summer.

Now a quiet evening with no obligations ahead. Lovely!

A long lazy sunny Sunday – amazingly luxurious. Been outside most of the day – working in the garden, decorating the flower bed with some red turf. Had lunch outside in the shade – it is actually pretty warm and the sun is burning. What happened?

Had to escape indoor for a bit too – with laundry, baking, cooking.

In a minute we are going to pick up my brother-in-law and then the  five of us are going to Gröna Lund for dinner and to enjoy Billy Idol on stage. It’s going to be interesting to see if he’s still got it. And let’s hope and pray that he will sing some of his old hits. That would make my day!

PS! The amusement park was crowded with 17.000 screaming fans and he gave us 2 hrs worth of hits mixed with songs from his new album and some old forgotten ones. It was a great evening – sunny and warm – and we are now back home, exhausted from standing up all night.

Today our elder tree flowers started to bloom which means I
had to get busy.. I make a lemonade out of the flowers
and I need to pick them when they just started to bloom to get the maximum flavor out of them.

40 flowers in a big pot, add three finely sliced lemons and some citric acid. Boil 2 liters of water and add 2 kg of castor sugar. Pour it over the flowers and keep in the fridge for 3-5 days. Then add some sodium benzoate. Done. And it’s delicious!

Important soccer game tonight for our boys – semi finals in the European Championships facing Denmark. Going all the way to the semi finals gave us a ticket to the Olympics next summer – fun!

Fingers crossed we will win!

PS! WE WON! Beat Denmark 4-1. Finale – here we come!

Friday! And some sunshine in-between the rainshowers.. Maybe there is hope for the weekend! 

Another afternoon at the hospital – this time at the  department with the soccer game instead of the Fia game. No need to mention who won. Let’s just say it wasn’t me. Lol.

There are terribly black clouds in the sky right now – let’s hope they go away so we can bbq the sirloin steaks I bought for dinner. Weekend – here we come!

Another rainy day.. with some sunshine in-between the showers. Everything is so green and all the gardens are filled with flowers. The upside to the rain I guess. 

Not a very good day today. But everything happens for a reason. You just have to figure out that reason and let it make you grow stronger. Focus on keeping the center of your life where it is supposed to be and not allow it to tilt your world.

Happy birthday, dear sister! Wish you a great day!

Started this Tuesday with a visit to the district health care center – my youngest had to give a blood test for the appointment on Thursday.

Going back home from work it started to rain again. This summer is unbelievable – can’t remember this much rain ever! I will get my tan from rust – lol!

Tonight the “Allsång på Skansen” will start again! Too bad the weather is not cooperating!

Three more weeks to go before it is our time in our paradise. It’s going to be three quite busy weeks so I’m sure time will pass quickly. Suites me fine!

Went shopping after work today. My clock-radio broke down so I needed to buy a new one – I hope I picked a good replacement. Maybe I should use both of them tomorrow, to make sure I get up on time (lol)!
