Weekend again. Tried to do some shopping today for the funeral but no matter where I went I couldn’t find anything suitable. Bummer. Might look in town instead but I never feel up to it after work.
My husband has finished trimming the hedge around the garden so tomorrow we need to get a trailer to take all the branches and stuff to the waste disposal site. A weekend filled with chores.
Celebrations
My little sweetie is turning 17. Can’t believe it. She is turning in to quite a young woman. With a big heart.
She had her birthday the other day but with everyone being so busy during the weekdays they decided to have her celebrations on Friday eve instead.
Happy birthday, S! Love you!
AI – 2 credits
Puh what a day! Rain off and on all day but still very humid and warm. Awful. But our roses seem to like it.
I am so very proud of myself. Tonight I finished a distance course in Artificial Intelligence at Linköpings Universitet. I got a certificate and was able to send in an application for 2 credits at the university. They might call me and check that it was actually me who did the course and hopefully I will be able to answer their questions. But I am so happy I completed the challenge and managed to get good score too! Yeah!
Puh
It’s been so warm in town this week – almost 30C. Puh. It’s awful when traveling back and forward to work. So crowded and so hot!
Long day at work since I swap my Tuesday and Wednesday hours. Feels good to be already half way thru to the weekend.
My dad was noted today from Hammarby since he’s been working for the club for 65 years. Wow. And my mother is not far behind with her 60 years as active member. *Proud-of-my-parents* ! http://www.hammarbyfriidrott.se/Arkiv/Nyhetsarkiv/Nyheter2019/lasseeandersson-friidrottspensionar/
New
Karolinska Sjukhuset – the main hospital here in Stockholm – has two hospitals, one in Huddinge and one in Solna. The clinic we usually go to in Huddinge has closed and moved to Solna. So today we had to find our way to the new clinic. It was no problem and the staff was really nice and professional. Good start. And it all went well. Puh.
Worked my 4 hours in the afternoon instead of in the morning so I got home quite late tonight. Hubby had fixed dinner when me and my oldest came home – M had his first classes today after the summer break.
Last week
Last week of August. Where did this summer go? Still a summer-feel for another couple of days. Today it was quite sunny and warm outside. Lovely.
This escalator on my way home gave me a good feeling for the game tonight when our team was playing their next soccer game in Allsvenskan facing Falkenberg. We won 2-0! And the game was on a channel on TV that we have so I could watch it. Great.
Finnkampen day 2
Day 2 at our Olympic Stadium from 1912. So much history in this arena. And a big audience for the second day in a row. A little over 10.000 people yesterday and close to 10.000 today. Great competitions again – with Daniel Ståhl taking a new competition record as one of the high lights. And of course – the last competition on this arena for our long jumper Michel Tornéus who is going to end his amazing career after this season. Hat off for him!
Results after the second day:
Men Sweden 228 – Finland 181
Women Sweden 217,5 – Finland 192,5Boys Sweden 116 – Finland 85
Girls Sweden 91,5 – Finland 109,5
Finnkampen day 1
Great competitions – day 1 – in this years edition of Finnkampen. I was there together with my parents and also my aunt and uncle. And what an amazing ending of the evening with Armand Duplantis jumping 6m – a new stadium record. Wow.
Results after the first day:
Men Sweden 105 – Finland 99
Women Sweden 104,5 – Finland 100,5Boys Sweden 56 – Finland 50
Girls Sweden 44,5 – Finland 61,5
Me-time
A perfect ending of a quite hectic week. After work I had an appointment with my childhood friend who is an ayurvedic massage therapist. It is the perfect relaxation. Unfortunately there was some builders renovating close by so she was not happy with the conditions around my massage so she offered me another appointment for free. That was so sweet of her! I’ll be going again in a couple of weeks.
Pizza for dinner – made an exception to my sallad diet. Tasted excellent! Now some corner time enjoying Friday night with my hubby. My youngest is away at the movies tonight.
Something new
Today we received our new printers at work. We change them every third year and now it was time again. Fun. They felt quite updated compared to our old ones.
Made a couple of dishes for dinner tonight with all the left-overs in the fridge. One taco-dish and one noodle-wok. Perfect with a clean fridge to start the weekend. Might pick up something tomorrow. Then on Saturday my family will be away for the day while I will be at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, so no dinner at home that day either.
