Advent 1st ?

Today it was time to light the first candle of Advent. And we bought our Xmas-tree. We usually set it up on the weekend before Xmas but since we are going on a trip after Xmas we wanted to enjoy the tree a bit early.

My parents came over for coffee and a glass of “glögg”. I had made a gingerbread sponge cake too. It was lovely to see them, as always.

We have been cleaning upstairs most of the day too and it is starting to look ok. We didn’t turn everything around like we first intended – just switched place on the sofas. But most importantly we have sorted out a bunch of things we no longer need and also cleaned behind and underneath the furniture. Perfect.

Tonight we have rewarded ourselves with some time in our spa (no rain tonight, but a bit windy) and now some corner time with a cup of tea. Lovely.
