Month: November 2018

Last night we went up to the 25th floor in Skrapan and the view of the city was magnificent. We definitely need to go back there for dinner or drinks when the weather is better.

Today we have been relaxing and not done much. Tried to sort out a few things from upstairs. We need to throw tons of stuff away but we don’t really have the energy. But, slowly but surely we will get it done. One step at a time.

“Varning på stan nu mår kung i baren illa igen” – Magnus Uggla in concert with all his old hits. Me and my husband were given tickets to see the show from and together with my sister and brother-in-law. Perfect gift!  We decided to start with dinner together so we met up at Stekpannan for a two-course meal and then we went over to Himlen for a drink, but it was way too crowded and we didn’t have so much time left before the show would start, so we just enjoyed the view of the city for a bit.

The show / concert was great and Magnus really managed to get the crowd going! We were standing on the balcony and it was slightly moving.. a bit scary! But, he checked off all of his hits thru the years – managed to get thru most of them by only performing parts of them.

Thank you for an amazing evening and a great present!

A very dark and rainy Thursday. And long day at work. I’m sticking with my diet – no bread or carbs this week. Sort of. Lol. Had sushi for lunch. But that’s healthy, right? Served myself a tuna salad for dinner while the boys ate pasta with left over pork loin and the home made bolognese from the other day. Now I’m tucked in my corner under a cozy blanket with a cup of coffee and an episode of “Good doctor” on TV from last night. Lit two candles. Nice.

I was supposed to leave early today and attend a meeting with my youngest son’s school, but he was misled to believe that it was cancelled and then it wasn’t so he ended up going without me. So, I had lunch in the city before I went home. Salad. Again. Trying to be a bit more healthy for a while to see if it will pay off.

Tonight I cooked a pork loin in the oven and served it with a salad and rise. It turned out very juicy and nice. Lovely. Now we are catching up on some series we are watching. First out – Springfloden. My husband is one episode behind so first he needs to watch that before we can watch the most recent one together. I am working on this while he does that.

A very busy day in a high tempo. Didn’t even manage to finish everything I intended to, but the work load was just too much today. But, I am still proud of everything I did accomplish.

After work I met my oldest niece and we went to dinner together. So nice to see her and chat for a bit. We went to Vetekatten on Kungsgatan and she enjoyed a Caesar sallad and I one with chèvre and beetroots. Yum!

Short day today. I had an appointment for my back early afternoon so I decided to go and have a sallad for lunch.

The restaurant was pretty crowded so a lady asked if she could share my table, and of course I said yes. We ended up having a great conversation and a lovely lunch together. Funny how things end up some times. She was Swedish but lived in Canada since many years and was on her way to the airport to go back to Vail ski-resort, where she lives. Poor her. Lol.

The massage was amazing – had booked the same lady as last time and I went home with a smile on my face feeling a lot better. I have another appointment already booked to look forward to. Yeah.

Sunday already. The weekends go by too quickly. I’m not ready for another week yet.

Decided to make pulled pork for dinner which takes 7-10 hrs in the oven. So, I got it started while I was making breakfast. Hopefully it will be really yummy tonight!

We’ve been really busy today and have done a clean out of our youngest son’s room. Well needed – just to get the room dust-free was well invested time! He wanted to re-organized the room a bit and get rid of a few things and place the furniture in another way. So, now he can try it for a few days to see if it is to his liking or if we should put everything back again the way it was. At least it is dust-free and also cleaned out from a lot of kids stuff he doesn’t need in his room no more. Good job!

Busy Saturday. Grocery shopping. Doing laundry. Ironing.

After lunch me and my youngest went to get him a new suit, shirt and tie. He looked great! So handsome. Now he is ready for any party and upcoming graduation. Might need to get him a pair of shoes too though.

Going to cook some pasta tonight I think. My oldest is over at his friends house for a board-game-day so it’s just the three of us and home made bolognese isn’t anything my oldest likes to eat. So it will be a good time for the rest of us to enjoy it.

The X-mas decorations are up but not turned on yet. Stockholm is getting ready for winter. They put up the tree too but no lights on it yet.

My son texted me and wanted to meet for lunch – warms my mother-heart! Few things make me happier! Short day today due to the holiday tomorrow so I was in no hurry back to work after the lunch either. We could enjoy a long lunch and then I went home and he went back to school for his last class. Now some quiet family time to start the weekend!

Had a meeting before work this morning for our yearly check-up of the fire alarm at the office. I was also given a quick training on how to handle the alarm if it would go off (which I hope it never will).

A very busy day with a two-hour training in another area in the afternoon – accounting. Now my head is filled with impressions and new knowledge.

Crashed in my corner with an omelette and a cup of tea watching some series on the TV. Going to be an early night tonight I think.
