Month: June 2024

A nice sunny day with no rain for a change. Long day at work and a good day. Not terribly busy but a nice pace and enough to do. 

Picked up some strawberries on my way back so we have some to enjoy tomorrow on Midsummer. Perfect! 

Finished a bunch of leftovers for dinner – three different courses for the four of us. Great to make room  in the fridge. Also great with a long weekend ahead to enjoy. More of those please! 

My yellow/red rose is about to bloom – my sister w/ family gave it to us years ago and it finally seems to have settled in its new environment. We moved it a couple of years ago and it has struggled a bit to bloom again. But, hopefully we will see it in full bloom tomorrow unless the deers eat it… Lol. 

Midweek and my short day. I had lunch at the office before I left since I had a couple of things to do on my way home. Went to tend to my nieces flowers among other things. Took a nice walk back home instead of taking the bus. Two days in a row. Yeah. 

The clouds are getting darker and they are almost covering the sky now. The forecast predict thunder and lightning any minute – glad I got home before it all starts. Maybe we’ll go and get some groceries later on since it’s midsummer on Friday and we need some more bits and pieces. 

A long day at the office and all kinds of weather. Even hail in the afternoon in-between some thunder and lightning and heavy rainfall. Wonderful. Lol.

After work we had a dinner planned in town – just us administratives – and it was really nice. We went to “Glashuset” – a restaurant we all wanted to try. I had a lovely fish dish with char (röding) and a glas of white. Mmm.

Of course the subway didn’t match the bus going home so I ended up taking a walk back. And just made it home as the rain started to fall again. Lucky me.

Short week with midsummer on Friday.

I left really early this morning and worked some from home this afternoon but other than that I’ve had my short day. 

Absolutely love our purple rosebush right now – it is covered with gorgeous blossoms. The white and yellow ones are also in bloom but they don’t come near this one in amounts of flowers. They are pretty too though. 

Going to make a lasagna in a minute. But first some me-time catching up on some stuff on the tv. 

A sunny Sunday and we had a nice afternoon coffee at my parents. My mom had made a rhubarb pie and a vanilla custard and also treated us to strawberries. Mmmm. Nice. 

Our ladies won 5-0 today in the soccer game. Yeah. They had a great start of the season but then struggled a couple of losses but now things seem to have turned around again with wins the last couple of games. Yeah. 

Going to bbq a tritrip for dinner served with a potato gratin. A nice Sunday dinner hopefully. Short week next week with midsummer on Friday, but an early start tomorrow. Have to be at work at 07.30. But that’s ok. Also have a meeting an hour after I get off so a couple of extra hours for me tomorrow. 

Friday again. This week has been quite long for some reason. We are all a bit tired – I think the thunder and weather has had an impact on us.

We have watched the Netflix-series “Fool me once” (Sanningen) this week and tonight we are going to watch the last episode. It’s quite good. “When ex-soldier Maya sees her murdered husband on a secret nanny cam, she uncovers a deadly conspiracy that stretches deep into the past.”

Tonight the European Championships in soccer begins. One whole month of several games per day. But Sweden didn’t qualify so it’s not as interesting as it would have been otherwise.

A bit tired today, to be honest, since I was up a bit too late last night. Oh well. But, it was fun to watch the last of the track & field event. 

After work today me and a colleague decided to treat ourselves to dinner and a nice chat. I chose the scampi salad which was delicious. When I arrived to Fruängen the bus left the same minute my subway pulled into the station. Bummer. 30 min to the next bus. So I texted my hubby and he was an angel and came and picked me up. Had heals on so I didn’t feel like taking a half-hour walk after a full day either. Now we’ve crashed with a cup of tea. 

Short day today and all kinds of weather today too. Hail, rain, sunshine. Some thunder. No lightning. Tomorrow will be no difference, if the forecast is correct. 

Made some minute steaks for dinner served with boiled new potatoes or fries. Mmm. Not bad. 

Last day of the European Championships in track & field and tonight our pole jumper Armand Duplantis is going to try to defend his title and win another gold medal. Fingers crossed. He just entered the competition and managed to clear his first hight 5.65 so still a long way to go (hopefully) before he will reach his limit. Hopefully as the last participant left in the competition. And maybe with another world record. 

A long day today and rain off and on again. Picked up some thai for lunch and then a grilled chicken on my way home. Didn’t feel like cooking the leftovers so this was an easy way out. Hubby is not home tonight either so a chicken is perfect for the three of us. Made some pasta to go with the chicken. Mmm. 

These lovely flowers were a gift from our dinner guests last weekend. They still look great! Love them. 

Now some corner time while waiting for the track & field to start later on this evening. The one thing I want to watch is on closer to 11 PM which is a bit too late on a work-night. We’ll see if I stay up late or not.
