Saturday and a very nice and sunny day. After breakfast we went grocery shopping (no difference from being in the city). No people in the store and we managed to buy food for the next 3 days or so.
In the afternoon me and my mother went for a 45 min walk in the sunny weather. Lovely. When we got back it was time to cheer on our team in soccer – the season started today. Such a close call but we lost to last years champions Malmö with 3-2.
My turn to fix dinner tonight and then we could enjoy a gorgeous sunset for the second evening in a row. Good for the soul. I’m so grateful for these last couple of days that we could spend together. Tomorrow my sis and her girls are driving back to the city. I will miss them dearly.
A very windy and rainy Friday. My hubby had to work all day and the rest of us didn’t do much due to the bad weather.
My parents and I dared to go for a quick walk in the afternoon when the sun came out for a bit. Nice to not sit still all day.
Since we couldn’t be together over Easter we had decided to celebrate Easter today instead. So we prepared a nice smorgasbord with just the basics – potatoes, meatballs, chipolata sausage, deviled eggs, beetroot salad, three different kind of pickled herring, salad, bread and cheese. Lovely. We had a very nice dinner and played the traditional egg-game which my youngest niece won.
Ended the day in front of the TV watching “Task Master” and “Masked Singer” together before it was time to hug the pillow. Oh, and we could enjoy an amazing sunset tonight. Lovely.
At last. The day we have waited for. A change of scenery and a couple of days in our summer home together with my sister w/ family and our parents.
The trip went without any problems – no traffic what so ever and we arrived 6 hrs later even with two stops on the way. Yeah. Some light rain here and there and quite windy once we arrived (we even got some snow but hardly worth mentioning). My sis treated us a great dinner with her beef rulads and oven baked potatoes. And my oldest niece made a delicious garlic bread. Yum!
So nice to just spend some time together and relax in our paradise. Life is not so bad.
A very busy last work day before some time off filled with meetings and things to get done.
And a very busy afternoon running errands needed doing. Blood test – check, switch the Triss-lotteries we had won on for new ones – check, picked up orders from the pharmacy – check, went to my parents house and sorted mail, flowers, aquarium – check, cut a forsythia branch from my parents garden – check, picked up another package that had arrived – check. Did all my ironing I haven’t done since Xmas.. not too bad since we are not using shirts or blouses for the moment lol.
Now I’ve crashed for a minute before it’s time to get on with the rest of the chores that needs doing. Puh.
Tuesday already. Where did this weekend go? So nice with a long weekend and just relax and spend time together. But, now it’s back on the horse again for a couple of days. And quite intensive days too. I was hoping to be able to get more done today but the people I waited for didn’t get back to me so I guess I’m in for a challenge tomorrow. Puh.
Left-over food all day – need to empty the fridge – lol. Made a wok for dinner of the roast beef from the other day. Yum!
Have started to pack some and done some laundry too. One step at a time. Don’t need to bring much but I like to be organized. Probably going to overpack anyway. Lol.
Last night a storm came and it was really windy. During the night it started snowing and this morning we woke up to a winter wonderland. No fun. And it continued to snow for several hours. I’m so glad we decided to have our outdoor lunch yesterday when it still was very nice.
As the day went by it stopped snowing and most of it melted away so we dared to take a quick walk around the block to get some steps. We watched a movie during the snowfall which was pretty good – “News of the World” starring Tom Hanks. I can recommend it.
Tomorrow we are going back to work again for a couple of days. Then we are joining the rest of the family in our paradise. Can’t wait!
A beautiful day and perfect to have a first bbq outside! We invited my parents-in-law over for Easter lunch and grilled different kinds of sausages and hotdogs served with hotdog buns and/or home made potato salad and selection of sauces etc. It was a really nice lunch and we could sit outside for a couple of hours and catch up a bit.
Going to make a roast beef steak tonight – it is slow cooking in the oven right now while we are watching a new series – second season of “The Sinner”. A nice Easter day even though it was a bit windy.
Easter day and I woke up early and decided to get up and enjoy some me-time before the family woke up. So, I made myself a nice breakfast and finished watching one of my favorite movies I started to watch last night – “Me before you”. It is such a romantic yet tragic movie and I have seen it several times. Love it.
My hubby cleaned the spa today. Yeah! What a hero. I put up our solar cell lights – shall be interesting to see how many works and if I need to replace some. Also I was a busy bee indoors doing laundry and making lunch and then dinner. We had a very simple Easter lunch with just some salmon, meatballs and deviled eggs. Then a more luxury dinner with fillet of beef, potato gratin and asparagus. And a cheese tray for afters. Lovely.
First day off of our four day weekend. Slept in a bit and after breakfast we went grocery shopping. Said hello to our new neighbors – a nice couple in their midst 30s – no kids. Seemed very nice!
Fixed home made burgers for lunch and in the afternoon me and my hubby and oldest went for a long walk in the forrest. A very nice relaxing day even though we got surprised with some rain during our walk. Now we’ve crashed infront of an episode of our latest series – “Who killed Sara” – a Mexican series of 10 episodes which is pretty good. Me and my husband are soon fluent in Spanish .. lol..
Maundy Thursday. Short day at work since it is the day before a holiday.
Today we received another package filled with candy – from my hubby work this time. I am sure we will not suffer from any dramatic weightloss this Easter either. Lol.
Felt quite tired today so I didn’t go for a walk this afternoon even though the sun was shining. My hubby was busy with switching tires on our car and I worked some in the back yard removing weeds and putting a mulch on my roses to prevent more weeds growing. Let’s see if it does the trick.
Now we are having a movie night – we are watching “Tenet”. And a four day weekend awaits. Lovely. Celebrating with a glas of red.
