Friday and lunch date with my oldest son. We always meet at TGI since it’s close to the underground station and easy to access for the both of us. Plus we like their value lunches.
Now tucked in my corner watching “Finnkampen”, day 1. My parents are in Finland for the event but the weather looks really nasty so I hope they don’t catch a cold. But, knowing them they come prepared with things to sit on and blankets to keep warm.
The scores after the first day:
Ladies : Sweden 106.6 – 98.5 Finland
Men : Sweden 98 – 105 Finland
Cake-diet
Another busy day but I’m doing alright. Looking forward to next week when I get a full-time colleague sharing my room at work. A bit of company will be nice! And next week we will be full in staff again too with the last colleague back from her maternity leave. Lovely.
Need to loose some weight – maybe I should try the cake-diet? Living next door to Delicato and all. And I also made an apple pie. Again.
Backpack
This morning a member of my extended family in California posted a picture of her daughter with a Fjällräven Kånken backpack. I didn’t realize they were so popular over there too. We have a store in the building I work that sell them. This very popular backpack was introduced back in 1978 and they are still going strong.
I met up with a dear friend for lunch today! It was great to see her again. After our lunch I went to the big department store and bough myself a raincoat in a lovely pale pink color. It’s going to rain on Friday so I thought I’d be prepared. Also we are going to Scotland soon.. lol
Sweet 16
Time flies. My youngest niece turns 16 today. They grow up so quickly. I am a proud God-mother to both the girls and they are so very precious to me.
Our family gathered together tonight to celebrate with presents, cake and coffee. I think she had a good birthday!
Very very busy day at work and I am so tired. But, it was a good day! Got a lot done. A lot of challenges ahead – one step at a time and we will reach our goal before we know it!
Big decision
Today we decided on who we will go forward with after all the interviews. A tough decision since they were all very good candidates. Feels great though.
It’s been more fall-like today starting with a very chilly morning – continuing with a sunny nice day – ending with a grey rainy evening. I was able to leave the office on time today (or close anyway) which was great. I wanted to get a treatment for my back but they didn’t have anything available unfortunately. Since I didn’t know what time I could go home I didn’t want to pre-book anything. So I ended up going home instead.
Pie
Sunday .. One more day off to enjoy. Lovely. We went to get groceries and picked up some burgers for lunch.
Then we got busy and my husband finished cutting our hedge while I vaccumed, did laundry and mopped the floors. Afterwards we rewarded ourselves with a piece of the apple pie I made this morning. It was delicious! And then I listened to my book while relaxing in my hammock for a bit. Life is good.
Grateful
Weekend again. Lovely. We have been busy bees all day working outside. I raked all the apples that have fallen off the tree into piles while my husband cut another piece of our hedge. It’s a several-days-work so we divide it up a bit.
Then I went to a memorial coffee at a friends house which was really special and nicely organized. Much appreciated for those who attended and a bit different to a regular funeral coffee.
Tonight we have been to my parents-in-law for a lovely dinner and chat. They are on their way to a 3-4 week long drive and cruise in Europe so it was nice to see each other a bit before they leave.
And then some..
What a week! So much to do. I’m exhausted. Today I’ve been involved with interviews at work all day long. It takes a lot of energy but it is also a fun and interesting process. One that hopefully will result in a new co-worker within not too long.
Our garden is completely covered with apples. Under the tree anyway. So, if someone would like some apples – don’t wait too long! They get ruined really quickly. Especially this kind. Have a nice evening everyone!
Apples ???
Apples everywhere. Can’t use even a small part of them. So anyone fancy some apples – please come over. We have filled our compost so now we don’t really know where to put them. And our robotic lawn mower get stuck on them. Except some of them which he is able to mash. Lol.
Hubby is away on a work- do so it’s only me and the boys home tonight. Made chicken for dinner and now I’ve crashed for a bit. Dead tired after all the work this week. One more day – then weekend!
Mid week
Already half way through the week. Amazing how quick you get back into the everyday-life again after a few weeks in a vacation bubble.
Did really good today – felt great to be able to contribute some. I am so glad I have my job and my colleagues. After 15 years we know each other quite well.
My husband is at the relay tonight doing the first 5k out of five. Fingers crossed he will do good for his team. My oldest is away with his friends tonight so it’s just me and F at home.
