The world

Another week has come to an end .. left overs for dinner for me tonight, but I am definitely not complaining when they look like this. Yesterday I didn’t allow myself a glas of wine since it was a work night, but tonight I will have one with the “smörgåstårta”. The boys will have fillet of pork and fries.

A whole weekend ahead and no plans. Just relaxing, gathering strength and new energy for next week. I have a very busy week next week so I need all the energy I can get.

Midweek again. Had a very Swedish lunch today while I was waiting for my bus – a “tunnbrödsrulle”. It’s a flatbread filled with mashed potatoes and a hotdog. Some ketchup and lettuce to complete. Mm.

I’ve been a busy bee since I came home – quick hospital visit for blood tests, preparing dinner for both today and tomorrow (I’m having guests and work late), setting the table and getting ready. And now I am. Ready, that is.

Tuesday – my long day – and it has been raining for the most part. But, when I was going home it cleared up and so I walked the last couple of kilometers. Great way to end a day – a quick walk. Get the adrenaline going and clear my head. I’ve been translating stuff the last part of the day so I had a lot of tricky wordings on my mind.

Now dinner, Idol elimination and a latte.. Then it’s time to hug my pillow and get some beauty sleep.

New week. New challenges to face. New decisions to make. My parents are on their way down to our paradise for a couple of days. Wish I could come too. That would be amazing. But, no time right now and I’m needed here.

Busy afternoon buying groceries getting stuff for the week. A home made lasagna just got done and will be a nice treat for dinner tonight. The best part is that there will probably be leftovers too. Yum.

Finally Friday. This has been a very strange week with me being so tired and not able to focus very well. I think reality is catching up with me and I need to relax and stop for a minute.

Enjoyed a great sushi lunch and a great bbq dinner. Now a glass of red and some cheese to finish the evening. We have good weekend ahead with Finnkampen going on both days at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. It’ll be fun! I think we have a good chance in all four categories.

Today it is my parents 49th wedding anniversary. They were married in the same church as me and my husband. Only we married 29 years later – Oct 7th 1995.

Today has been a very sunny and nice day – but it was only 5C this morning so fall is definitely on its way.

Happy anniversary, mom & dad!

Short day today – and the sun was shining on my way home. Had a nice lunch before I left the city.

If my grandpa would be alive we would have celebrated his 107th birthday today. Happy birthday, where ever you are!

I often look at this photo and think back on that day – when my grandpa met with my oldest (maybe for the first time). It was such a special day – still makes me smile. I wonder what grandpa would say if he would see him today – tall, with beard and long hair. Lol. Quite handsome if you ask me.
