Month: March 2022

Monday again. Got up early and enjoyed a quiet breakfast by myself. My hubby gets up even earlier a couple of times per week to go to the gym. 

Worked a short day today and went to try on a dress after work that I have seen online. It wasn’t for me. Too bad. Need something for the wedding this summer.

The construction site at Slussen is quite spectacular with all its big cranes. Shall be interesting to see the final result in a number of years. Until then we will have to live with the chaos I guess. 

What a lovely day! We decided to bbq some hotdogs on the outdoor grill. Premier for the season! And we could sit outside and enjoy our lunch together. So nice! 

After lunch my oldest went over to his friends house and me & hubby went for a 3k walk in the sunshine. Now I’ve crashed with a cup of tea in front of the last biathlon of the season. A very nice day off! More weekends like this one would be just perfect! 

My mother was rewarded this special prize today during one of the many many track&field events she (and dad) participated in. For a lifetime service. *so proud* So well deserved! Way to go, mom!

A very sunny Saturday which will hopefully inspire us to a long walk. Just need to finish my coffee and relax time after the grocery shopping and lunch.

I am more tired than I usually am. Maybe it is pollen in the air. Maybe I’m just over worked. Need new inspiration and things to look forward to. We are going to a big event in a few weeks to celebrate my mother-in-law’s aunt who will be 100 years old. That is something to celebrate and look forward to for sure!

My niece’s dance group – Move Company – made it to the finale of Sweden’s got Talent and tonight they performed live on national television. My sis, brother-in-law and parents came over to ours for a family pizza dinner and then we enjoyed the show on tv toasting in some bubbly. My youngest niece was at the tv studio to watch it live. Here’s the performance if you’d like to see ; TV4 Talang 2022 – MoveCompany finale

They did a great number and they are truly well coordinated and amazing dancers. But, their routine didn’t make it to the top three which I think they should have.  We’re so proud of her! Well done, K!

Maybe this will open some doors and opportunities for the future. Edward af Sillén – one of the members of the jury – a Swedish screenwriter and director for stage, film and TV – was very impressed and maybe it will lead to future collaboration.

This morning when I was waiting for my bus I noticed that the lilac bushes by the busstop has started to grow buds. Spring is arriving! Made me smile. 

The days have become noticeably longer now too since the sun is already up when I go to work. More sunlight = more energy. Win win. 

Long day today. My hubby had prepared dinner when I got home. Nice to just sit down to a set table. Now we’ve crashed in our corners. Thought we’d give “Reacher” another shot. 

Midweek and very busy morning. Got off early and enjoyed a quiet late lunch at home – made an omelette with mushrooms. I was so very tired today for some reason (the busy morning might have drained my energy) so I just crashed for a bit working on some work stuff with my mobile.

Made pasta bolognese for dinner for the troops. Perfect comfort food when you lack energy. And great for leftovers.

Puh. What a day. Been working from the office (and will continue to do so for a while) today. One meeting after another all day long. Along with a ton of things to do in-between. Got home and made dinner for the troops. 

Went in one of the new subways going home today. They look quite futuristic – very clean and modern – but they are not very comfortable. They have placed some of the seats sideways in the carriages to make more standing room for commuters. And the seats are a lot harder to sit on than in the older carriages. Oh well. 

New week and time to get busy again. My sis w/ fam gave us these gorgeous tulips when they came over Saturday and they really are spreading a lot of joy and a lovely scent. Perfect energy booze while working from home. 

Short day for me and after work I had lunch with my oldest. Just some left overs but so nice with his company. After lunch I baked a chocolate cake for “fika”. Nice for them to enjoy while I’m at work the rest of the week. 

Worked some in the garden – nothing major just cleared away some dried weed to prepare for spring. There is still some snow left on the ground which is almost like a wetland with water coming up thru the grass when you walk on it. But, it’s been another sunny day which started with -5C and now it’s up to +10C. 

A lovely sunny Sunday. We slept in for a bit and then spent some time in the garden. My hubby cut the elder trees and I collected the branches. Had leftovers for lunch – the cacciatore casserole from last night. This time served with rise instead of pasta. 

After lunch we went over to the local café but it was way too crowded so we ended up walking around the lake instead. 80 min later we got back home again and crashed for a bit after the long walk. So nice to get some new energy from being outside for bit. The first crocuses arrived in our garden – spring is on the way. Can’t wait for it to arrive!
