Last of April and time to celebrate Valborgsmässoafton – Walpurgis Night. I took the day off and spent it with my sister and her girls. We had a great time shopping.
Then we all gathered here at our house together with my parents to have dinner and then walk over to watch the bonfires. The place was really crowded and busy with a lot of people and different tivoli attractions. Fun for the kids.
When we got back home we played board games and enjoyed some snacks. A nice day and evening.
Rainy day
A rainy day and perfect to get the declaration of income done, which we did. Yeah! One less thing to worry about.
Next on my list – to complete the photo album from my party. 40% discount ending tomorrow so I had to get it done to get a good deal. Done!
The new solar cell lights looked so pretty last night! I am so happy! Perfect gift! And they all worked which was great too! I hope it has stopped raining by tonight so we can enjoy the spa and the new lights outside.
Movie time
A lovely morning that we started sitting in our spa in the sunshine before breakfast. Perfect! Then a busy morning – buying groceries and working in the garden. We put up all the solar cell lights that I received for my birthday and planted the two rose bushes. After lunch it started to rain so we skipped the idea about bbq for dinner and instead we asked my sisters family if they wanted to join us to see a movie. The girls wanted to come along so we picked them up and had dinner at Heron City with a movie after. The new Avengers movie – “Infinity War” – had a world premier the other day and it was quite good with a lot of humor. Can’t wait to see the next one – but it will be out in May 2019..
AW
Friday and time for an AfterWork event with my ex-colleagues from HP. Twice per year since a few years back and always crowded with people wanting to hang out and talk memories and share news. About 150 people usually attends!
Met up with my friend and ex-colleague after work for a nice dinner before we went over to join the AW. After a few hours we decided to leave and went for a coffee and chat in a less loud environment before we took the subway back home. A lovely Friday!
Breakfast rolls
Extra nice breakfast today with the newly baked rolls from last night. Yum. My son loves them too so that is an extra plus and reason to make them.
Tonight the sky is completely covered with dark clouds. The weather forecast promised hail and it looks like it’s not far off. Going to stay tucked in my corner until bedtime, I think. Might watch a movie. One more day to work – then I have a long weekend to enjoy! Yeah!
Lunch date
Short day today and a lunch date after work with a friend who is on maternity leave. We met up at Espresso House by Stureplan and had a shrimp sallad with a coffee. It was a really nice lunch!
It’s been a sunny day but a bit chilly. But, no rain so far, thank God. Might be a good evening for some spa-time. Depending on when my husband gets back home – he and my brother-in-law are going to an information meeting about the STHLM trail run next weekend. Good to be prepared!
Pyssel hos M – 24 apr 2018
En myskväll utan pyssel men med jättesmarrig pastagratäng och sen kärleksmumstårta till fikat. Tack!
Vi kom fram till att vi tar nya pysseldag efter sommaren men att vi försöker ses i maj och har en trevlig kväll. I juni har vi tre studenter och en femtioåring så då kommer vi ses så mycket ändå.
Våra härliga kvällar som vi alla prioriterar betyder jättemycket och det är så roligt att vi har lyckats hålla i detta i alla dessa år. I april 1997 hade vi vår första pysselkväll och sen har det rullat på. Otroligt kul.
Me-time
The nice weather is gone. It was rather sunny to start with but now as I got back home it started to rain. And it is cold – only 8C. I made tea and wrapped myself in a cozy blanket trying to get warm again.
Had some me-time after work and went to see my naprapath for a treatment. It was painful but I’m sure it did some good. He always works miracles on my back. Now I really need to be a good girl and do the exercises ordered..
Day to relax
Woke up early and decided to enjoy our spa for a bit. The sun was shining and I had the best time out there – completely relaxed. After breakfast I started to work a bit outside and cleaned all the furniture. I also raked last years flowers and grass to make room for new flowers and grass.
M went over to his friends after lunch and I invited my parents over for dinner. Had some shrimps in the freezer that we had with toast and cheese. Yum. Served with a glass of white wine. And cloudberry ice-cream for dessert. Mmm.
My husband will be back later tonight after his long weekend in Åre. They have not had a great trip, unfortunately. Rain, fog and not great skiing. Typical. It could have been such a great weekend if they would have gotten some sunshine.
Weekend !
Saturday. Made American pancakes for breakfast. With powder sugar and maple syrup. Mmm. And there is another batch for tomorrow morning to heat up. Lovely.
I’ve been a busy bee today. Cleaning downstairs pretty good. Even cleaned one of my closets .. Yeah! And started to work on a photo album from my party last weekend. I hope I can manage to put something together.
Tonight my oldest niece asked to practice driving our car so I asked her to drop me off and pick me up at my friends’ house. Her dad was her instructor and came along. Perfect! She got to practice and I got a lift! And I had a nice dinner with my friend and her family! We’ve been friends since we were little. And our gift to one another is to go away on a spa-weekend – now we just have to decide on a date and where to go! Fun!
