Month: September 2019

Since we bought our spa two years ago we have been neglecting my indoor tub. We had it re-enamelled 10 years ago and it looked brand new afterwards. Now we decided to give it some love one more time and had it re-enamelled again. Same amazing result!  Perfect! We had a large stain from dripping water in the tub which was impossible to remove – now they have tilted the tub a bit so any water drops will find their way out thru the bath plug and will eliminate the risk of new stains. Hopefully.

Tonight we are cheering on our discus throwers. Go Sweden!

Suffering a bit today from our party last night. Oh well. It was fun. And what a great evening among friends. Today I have been clearing up and putting our living room back together again. Lol. Three loads of dishes to start with. A lot of empty cans and bottles. And a couple of loads of wash to clean the table cloths.

Tonight I am going to crash in my corner and cheer on Angelica who made it to the final in pole vault. If I can stay awake that late. Going to bed early tonight. Important week ahead.

What a day. Our plans on being able to sit outside tonight with our friends didn’t work. We had put up tents and everything but it was raining so hard and the wind was not helping either. So, we managed to squeeze everyone in our living room instead. All 18 of us. And we had a great time together. My husband was a hero and bbq outside in one of the tents in the rain for the ones who preferred meat and fries for dinner. The rest of us enjoyed cray fish and other seafood, home made bread, cheese pie and more. My sister had brought a quiz so instead of ending the evening enjoying our spa we had a lot of fun competing in knowledge instead. Great evening with amazing friends. Love you!

Friday – finally! I need a weekend. A quiet day at work with a lot of people away today for various reasons.

Got home around 4.30 PM and decided to bake these goodies since we are having some friends over tomorrow. Had dinner on the table by 6.30 and we could enjoy freshly baked buns with our dinner. Yum.

Going to watch some track&field from the WCH Doha 2019 – so far our long jumper and pole jumper have qualified for final rounds.

Very foggy morning today – could hardly see across the street. It cleared up and was quite sunny during the day.

A much better day today which was nice. Picked up some groceries on the way home and made pork with rise for dinner. Served with green beans and garlic sauce.

Now we’ve enjoyed the spa for a while – it is really perfect on a dark chilly night like tonight. One more day before the weekend!

A very chaotic day – I don’t even want to talk about it – with a good ending. Went to cheer on our team playing handball and we won 34-27. Yeah. And our soccer team won their game too 3-1. Yeah. Great fun to be in a sport arena and think about something else for a while. Now I’m going to hug my pillow and hopefully be able to sleep and not let all the stress bother me tonight.

Not as cold today as the past couple of days which was nice. The sky this morning was just amazing – I couldn’t resist taking a photo as I was waiting for my bus.

A good day at work – got a lot done. One more week on my own – then my new colleague starts and I have a room-mate again. Yeah.

My husband had made dinner when I came home from work and now I’ve crashed in my corner with a slice of the apple cake I made the other day. Life is good.

Today it was below C – brrr. Winter is closing in. Feels like we’ve skipped the fall and gone straight to the next season. I hope it will go back to normal soon.

My parents brought us some of their home-grown grapes and also a bottle of home-made grape cordial. Haven’t tried it yet but I’m sure it is very tasty. They have never made cordial from grapes before.

Short day today and I got home in time. Yeah. Tried to book an appointment at Centralbadet but there was no slots left. Bummer. Guess I have to make a reservation in advance. Would have been nice to be able to be a bit spontaneous.

Today I managed to sleep in until 08.30 – perfect. After breakfast I ironed the pile that has been waiting for me for a while. Felt good. I also completed the album and ordered it from our vacation in Rhodes. Check!

My parents came over for a coffee after lunch. I had baked an apple cake which turned out pretty good. Served with vanilla custard. Mmm. It was nice to chat for a bit too!

Our team won the derby today! Yeah! Go Bajen!

A long lazy Saturday – perfect recovery day. We went out to Kvarnholmen to get some stuff for our spa (which they didn’t have so we ordered it for delivery). The owner is an old friend of one of our friends so we stayed and chatted for a bit. She told us they are moving their store to Kungens Kurva, which is good for us.

We were invited to my sister for dinner – they had bbq beef and it was delicious. We also celebrated my 2 credits (and Peters of course) from university with a glass of bubbly.
After dinner we booked the sausage-making-class that P & J received for the 50th birthdays but we didn’t book the live-it-event that we need to find a date for. Ended the evening watching a movie together and just relaxing in the sofa.
