Sunny day 

What a gorgeous day. Sunny and lovely. And they have promised this great weather all weekend – just wish it would be a bit warmer so one could sit outside for a bit. But, it is getting there. Time to turn back our clocks on Sunday and after that spring can arrive any time.

But, first it’s time for some Fredagsmys – with a lovely glass of chardonnay from my favorite vineyard – Beringer – accompanied with a piece of cheese. Then I’m going to cheer on Anja competing in “Let’s Dance” . Have a great Friday everyone!

Daffodils

Since the flowers are no where to be seen in the garden I bought a bouquet of spring instead. They all started to bloom today and brighten up the living room. Perfect!

I was treated to a business lunch today. That doesn’t happen every day. So nice to have that opportunity every once in a while. I’ve been curious about this restaurant a while – I book it a lot for my colleagues. And now I know what it’s like!

Fika 

A very good mid-week day. With sunny weather, afternoon having coffee with a friend, spending time with my boys, made a nice home cooked dinner. Life is not so bad.

Been a busy bee for a while making all sorts of arrangements for my kids. All done. Yeah.

Now I’m ready for some evening coffee and time on my computer.

More snow.. ?

When I rolled up the window blind this morning there was snow everywhere again. Not much – barely covering the ground – but still. I was hoping for some spring now but I guess we will have to wait a while longer.

Going home tonight most of the snow had melted away. A very busy day today – now some corner time enjoying a recorded episode of “Homeland” from last night.

As good as new 

A good start of the week – even though it did come some snow this afternoon. But, I had some me-time and a treatment booked with my naprapath and feel as good as new again. Just what I needed.

This lovely photo was taken yesterday when the sun was shining. Today the weather is a different story..

Hope 

A lovely but cold Sunday. And I found these little yellow crocuses in our back yard – gave me some hope that spring isn’t far away. Some other bulbous plants are also on their way and within the next couple of weeks I expect to see a lot of flowers in bloom. Lovely.

I should go out and take a long walk. Just need to gather some form of energy. Maybe some coffee will do the trick..

Good news

Not extremely happy about the alarm going off at 05.20 this morning. Got up and drove my husband and youngest to the subway – they are going skiing all day. Then went back to sleep again for a couple of more hours.

Been a busy lady – doing laundry, groceries etc. Just crashed for a bit in front of the tv and Stephan was on – this time he is doing a Swedish classic – running, swimming and skiing. He is amazing. Watch his show if you haven’t! Very inspiring!

Also got a phone call that put a big smile on my face. Good news that I’ve been hoping and praying for. A good day. A great day if the skiers return with big huge smiles on their faces.

Fredagsmys! 

Friday again! Can’t believe how quickly time flies. And that it has been a whole week since we left sunny California. I didn’t want to leave. I never do when I’m over there. But, once I’m home I’m happy here too. Confusing? Yes. I agree.

I am glad it is so much easier now to go for a visit. Maybe one of these days we will be able to return their hospitality. That would be so much fun! One of these years!

No more travel-plans on our schedules. Hm.. Feels a bit strange Might have to look into that. 😉 Have a great Friday everyone!

Finally

“Before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself. ” Lyrics from a new song by Ed Sheeran. Pretty much how I felt on my way to work when I decided to have a cup of coffee before I signed in.

Had a great lunch with my BFF – haven’t seen her in several months for some reason. A couple of lunches we had to cancel due to matters out of our reach. But finally we made it! And it was great to see her! I had bought her a small gift from our trip. I hope it will fit her! She needed a bit cheering up today. I hope I could do that.

Pytt

What a lovely afternoon. Bright sunshine and clear blue sky. Strolled over to Pyttirian for lunch after work and had a Pytt Bellman – yum! Perfect lunch.

Tomorrow and on Friday I am seeing friends for lunch – fingers crossed work will not come in the way and that I will be able to keep my dates. Haven’t seen my friends in quite a while now.
