Thursday and movie-night! I went with a friend from work – we have been to the movies a couple of times and so far we have watched true-story-movies every time. This was no exception. “Hidden Figures” was a very good movie and we both enjoyed it a lot. If you haven’t seen it, I can really recommend it!

It’s been a lovely day today – not so cold and quite sunny. When we left the movie theatre at 8.30 PM it was still light out, but it got dark pretty quickly on my way home. Now a cup of tea before it’s time to go to bed.

Today we have had all sorts of weather. Really. Sunshine. Hail. Snow. Rain. You name it.

I picked up a few treats on my way home today. My parents-in-law came over for a delayed birthday-dinner since I wasn’t home when it was my birthday. So I made a fillet of beef with vegetable gratin and pepper sauce. And these goodies for afters. Together with blueberries and raspberries served with vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream. On a Wednesday. Oh my. What shall I serve this weekend? Lol.

Oh well. Another day with new snow. Not as cold as it was yesterday though. Then it was -4C when I went to work, but a gorgeous day with clear blue sky. Today the sky is grey and it is 2C outside. And still snowing. A long day ahead since it is Tuesday. But, I feel energized after a good start of the week!

Sunday and a chance to sleep in a bit and relax. My body isn’t as tired as I thought it would be – but I could definitely feel yesterdays workout when I walked down the stairs before.. lol. 

A good day with a lot of things done – grocery shopping, laundry, dishes but also finished my income tax return and sent it in and baked some cinnamon buns and a cake. Now I’ve put my feet up for a minute to watch our junior hockey team play in the bronze game towards Russia. They are not doing great so far but still time to turn it around. Fingers crossed.

A full day of fun together with our friends – 23 of us met up in Oxelösund this morning for a day of challenges at Boda Borg. Peter and Filip got this day as a X-mas present and since “the more the merrier” applies very well on this we asked if anyone wanted to come along. P & F teamed up with Sara and their team managed to get the most score and won! Me, Michael and my sister formed another team (at first we had two more members but they left after the first quest – it was a bit too scary for our youngest team member) and we managed to get through 17 of the quests. Yeah! We have climbed, crawled, answered quizzes and figured out quite tricky challenges all day long – between 10 AM and 6 PM with a short break for lunch. So, I will crash tonight, be sore tomorrow and my naprapath will have plenty to work with on Monday… But, we had a great time and I am so glad we could all do this together!

Can’t believe it’s already been a week since we woke up in our paradise to spend Easter together. Time flies.

I felt a bit strange when I woke up today – a bit dizzy with a slight headache. I went to work anyway but ended up leaving a bit early since I didn’t feel better all day. Slept for an hour when I got home. Now I feel a bit better after dinner (which my husband prepared – lovely) and hopefully I will be as good as new tomorrow when we are going on our adventure. I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow!

Time to cheer on our team in the important game in the qualification round #3/5 in best of 5. We have two wins and need one more to remain in the highest league. After a bumpy first period where we were one step behind all the way we managed to turn the game around and win with the clear result of 31-21. And 3-0 in games. Yeah! Unfortunately two of our best players are leaving after this season and the players were greeted with flowers and standing ovations from the fans! They will be missed!

Time to update the theme for this website – I know – it always takes a while to get used to changes but what is your spontaneous thought? Would love some reviews! Oh – and I also managed to create an app – add the page to your home screen on your mobile or iPad and – voilá! Oh – and it might present itself better if you turn your mobile sideways.. Comments, pls!

Started the day with a little treat.. Just because.. Then treated my family lasagna for dinner. Mmm..

This morning snow was covering the ground again and it was a couple of degrees below 0C. What happened to spring? I have washed my winter coat and put it away but I took it out again today. Brrrr.

Tuesday means a long day at work and today was no exception. Quite a busy day and very productive. Now it feels good to crash in my corner for a bit before it is time to hug my pillow.
