Month: November 2023

Finally time to attend this years edition of the Sthlm Food & Wine fair. *fun* Me and a colleague went together straight after work and arrived with no problems. There had been some problems in the subway and commuter train during the afternoon but we got there without any interruptions. 

We spent a few hours there tasting wine and a lot of great food and snacks. We had a great time chatting and enjoying the fair. Close to 13000 steps later I got home quite tired but happy with my evening. Now I’ve watched “På Spåret” and could participate with the Duo-app – fun! Managed to collect 39 points tonight. 

Another day with rain. Our busstop is covered with leaves which is kind of pretty with all the colors. It is so very dark now – both in the mornings and early afternoons – so some snow to brighten up the world would be most welcome.

Long day but not too busy – a lot of colleagues worked from home today. Had a sallad for lunch and then hubby had prepared dinner when I got home. Chicken with rise. Now we’ve crashed for a bit watching some episodes of “Wataha” – third season. It’s quite good – on HBO.

Midweek already and more rain. Me and my oldest had planned an afternoon walk but we skipped it due to the weather. So, I have spent the afternoon doing other things.

Made a variety of leftovers and new things for dinner tonight. Finished off the pork filet and beef served with new pasta. Finished off the potato gratin and pan fried potatoes served with new sausage. Perfect. Everybody happy. Also a variety of veggies to go with.

A lot of covid around me now at work. Fingers crossed I will not catch it – and if I do – that it will not effect our trip in 2,5 weeks. That would be so sad. Hubby took a test tonight since he has been home all week feeling a bit under the weather but fortunately it was negative. So no covid – hopefully the vaccinations we have will keep it away from us too.

Long day at work and quite busy. Had lunch with an old friend today. It was really nice to see her and also to leave the office for a bit and go outside. Doesn’t happen every day. Usually we pick up something and have lunch at the office and on those days that my colleague gets the food I don’t even go outside all day. But, we take turns so every other lunch I get the food for us. Had a pie today with spinach and feta cheese. Mmm. Not bad. 

Hubby worked from home today too so he had fixed dinner when I got back home. Really nice. Thinly sliced pork with rice and green peas. Yum. 

New week – new challenges. Had to get in a bit early today to distribute some documents for electronic signing. Then I had to stay a bit late for another send-out. But, finally I could leave the office and return home. 

Hubby has been working from home today so all my boys were home when I arrived. Nice. Had some leftovers for a late lunch and then I made a taco dinner tonight. Haven’t had that in a while. 

Me and my hubby worked outside all morning clearing away the furniture and decorations from the summer. Also we mowed the lawn and cut all the leaves that have fallen from the trees. Great to have all that done.

This afternoon my sis picked up me and our parents and we went to cheer on our women team – last home game this season and we had to win in order to be able to keep the possibility of winning the gold. And we did. 3-2. Yeah! Next weekend is the last game and if we manage to win that too and the team right behind us (whom we defeated tonight) looses or play even we will be this years champions. But, we still have that last game to play and we need to win it. Go Bajen! We had a great time tonight and I am so glad we can do this together!


Today it’s been raining all day long so we have not done much besides grocery shopping. We have started to watch a new series on HBO that was recommended to us called “The staircase”. It’s based on a true story and has great actors in the lead with Colin Firth and Toni Collette.
Made a steak for dinner and then treated my family chocolate pudding for afters. Haven’t had that in a long time. Now we are going to watch “Så mycket bättre” before it is time to hug the pillow.

Friday again and a short day due to the All Saints Day weekend. Not many people at the office – just me and couple of others. But, I had plenty to do with help needed from people working from home. Most of my big send outs I was going to do today were postponed until Monday though so I could leave in time. 

Picked up some grilled chicken on my way home and made an old favorite – Flying Jakob. A dish with chicken, bacon, bananas, peanuts, chili sauce and whipped cream. Served with rice. Love it. 

Tonight “På Spåret” is starting again and I will be participating via the Duo-app. Anyway else who is going to play? 

An extremely hectic Thursday prepping for an equally hectic Friday. Glad I managed to get most of the things done before it was time to call it a day. Less things to complete tomorrow. 

One of my oldest friends picked me up from work and I showed her around our office before we left to go to a restaurant near by. We shared both the starter and the main course and toasted in a glass of fizz to celebrate finally managing to see each other again. It’s been way too long. The food was great and the size of the portions quite large so even though we shared the food it was plenty enough. We had a great evening and I am so glad for our friendship which started way back in 1977 or there around. Life long! 

Now I just got back home in time to write this and then straight to be to prepare myself for a busy Friday. Fingers crossed I can work my half day and don’t have to stay on during the afternoon. 

Midweek already and my short day. The forecast promised snow today but we only received a few snowflakes and nothing that lasted for very long. It’s close to freezing though. 

Got home in time and have been a busy bee all afternoon catching up on things that has fallen behind. Laundry mostly. Treated myself to some grilled sandwiches with creamed mushrooms for a late lunch. Love that. 

Made a wok with the leftovers for dinner and an apple crumble with vanilla custard for afters. Now we are going to watch the last couple of episodes of “Seven seconds” on Netflix. It’s quite good.
