We went to the mall to have a Saturday lunch together and the boys helped me make the final decision about my new glasses and sunglasses. Boy, new glasses are expensive. Have to dig deep into the wallet this time.

Not the greatest weather to go out walking in. A perfect afternoon to curl up in my corner and catch up on some recordings or some episodes of series that I don’t really follow but still like to watch from time to time.

Friday again and we were invited over to my parents for dinner! It is such a nice way to finish the week – to be able to sit down at a table and served great food cooked with a lot of love and care. My mom had made us a real treat dinner!

Their garden was absolutely covered with blue flowers. So pretty. It is still freezing cold in the mornings – but it warms up during the days. Spring seems to be getting here quite slowly since it is so cold still.

What a day. I am exhausted. First work. Then home. Quick lunch. Then hospital. Then home. Then pick up my mother to help me making a better choice of new glasses than I managed on my own (I have four new ones with me home to try). We enjoyed a nice coffee and a great chat. Back home. Fix dinner. Buy groceries. Unpack. Managed to accompany my husband to the gym (!!!!) and realized that might not be my thing for fun. Oh well. I gave it a go and now I know. Might try it again another day when I am not so tired to begin with.

I just love Kungsträdgården at this time of year. All the cherry trees in bloom with all the pretty pink flowers. I walked over there after work to have a look since I might not have the time the next couple of days. And all this beauty is gone before you know it. It only lasts for a week or two.

Just received some great news – our prince and his wife came down with a baby boy today. Yeah. Our royal family has grown a lot the last couple of years with five little ones.

Derby tonight between Hammarby and Djurgården. Fingers crossed – Djurgården has had a great start this season with no losses yet. Let’s hope we will managed to break that flow.

PS! We won.. 3-1 !!!

Finally some me-time – just what I needed. I have to get better at taking care of myself. Start doing the exercises given to me to start with. No excuses. Rewarded myself with a coffee and a carrot muffin on my way home. Mmm. I will do the exercises too, I promise. In fact – I have already started.

I went to the optician today to chose a new pair of glasses. I have been having some problems with my old ones – I can’t see as well as I would like to but also the small silicone feet that lifts up the glasses from my nose have caused me some pain and trouble. Some days I get bright red marks on my nose that get very sore from these feet. So, I thought I’d try the kind of glasses that don’t have these feet but then I can’t have glasses that are in metal. The plastic ones make more of a statement and always have a frame all around the glasses. I picked out four different kinds to borrow with me home to show my family. Neither my family, my parents or my sister approved of my choices. Oh well. Back to square one. They are going back tomorrow.

There are different kind of left-overs – some kinds better than others. For instance – smörgåsbord-leftovers are not so bad. Cake-leftovers are a definite favorite too. Yesterday we enjoyed this mazarin cake and today we are enjoying what’s left. I’m not complaining.. lol

Good day today – I have been cleaning up after the party last night but we also managed to go shopping some with our youngest. He is growing so fast nothing fits him anymore. A positive problem. We actually found a whole bag of things for him – still need to find some t-shirts though. Maybe tomorrow.

Well, this photo was taken 40-some years ago. The adorable cute little girl to the left is my sister… Just look at us – so happy and innocent (well.. ) . I love her to bits and can’t really imagine life without her.

I had a really good birthday today – flag up, presents and breakfast, sunshine all day, celebrated at work, family over for dinner, more presents. Tons of greetings. Couldn’t have possibly asked for anything else. Thank you everyone for making my day so special!

I know – when you are trying to loose some weight you are not supposed to have pizza for lunch… Lol. But one has to enjoy life too, right? Especially when it involves seeing your best friend.

Now I’ve been a busy bee all evening preparing for tomorrow. Pretty nice to get most things done ahead to take off some stress for later. So I can enjoy the evening too.

Short day today. I had a chance to catch my breath for a bit before it was time to head over to the grocery store. I need to get better at catching the moments when presented. I am improving though.

Managed to walk into a chair this weekend and in order not to fall I grabbed the table and hurt my ring finger. My rings still won’t fit but the finger doesn’t hurt hardly at all anymore. But my foot still hurts. Talk about bad luck.
