The world

Unbelievable, but it is still raining outside and quite chilly. Good for the garden and all the flowers – but I would like to be able to sit outside and enjoy the sun.

A very busy week ahead with a ton of things that have to work in order to get everything done. Fingers crossed things will go smoothly and no bumps on the road.

This morning didn’t invite to any garden work – it’s raining raining raining outside and I think it has been for most part of the night. Good for my newly planted flowers – and I bet the toad is happy too!

The finale in this years edition of the world championships in ice-hockey today. Canada vs. Russia. Both teams packed with excellent players. Can go either way. Bronze fight between the US and Czechia.

PS! USA – Czechia 3-0
Canada – Russia 6-1

A nice quiet morning by myself watching the voting part of Let’s Dance from last night (we ended up watching something else so I recorded it). I must say there are some amazing dancers in this 10 year anniversary of the show. My favorites are Anton Hysén and Morgan Alling.

An excellent breakfast to start a great weekend – omelette, bread, fresh juice, tee and now a coffee to complete.

After a visit to the garden center I got busy working in the garden and found a little assistant about 5 inches down into the ground. Lucky I didn’t injure him/her!

Have a great weekend!

Today was a working day between a weekend and a holiday – a so called bridge day (klämdag). An extremely quiet office with not terribly much to do – just enough to get by.

Friday treat – fish & chips – and now tucked in my corner with a whole weekend ahead to enjoy and relax. I was hoping to cheer for our Tre Kronor this weekend but now I have to pick another team since they lost the quarter final yesterday. Hmm.. might put my money on Canada instead to not have to chose between the US and Russia. Sorry Czechia – you don’t get my vote.

Have a great weekend everyone!

It has been all kinds of weather today – this Ascension day. Right now the sun is shining and it is lovely outside – but it started to rain a couple of hours ago when I was outside.

A day off from work and school – a nice family day at home. Slept in for a little bit – but then I’ve been a busy bee all day. Laundry, groceries, yard work, vacuuming and moped the floors. And I also squeezed in some time in my corner watching a bit of ice hockey since it is quarter final day today.

USA – Switzerland 3-1
Canada – Belarus 9-0
Finland – Czechia and 3-5
Sweden – Russia 3-5

Since it is Ascension Day tomorrow we had reduction of working hours today. Very busy day though since everyone wanted to squeeze a whole day into a half day..

It’s been raining all day so my raincoat was just perfect – even though you have to put on a brave face to wear it.. Lol.

Going to cook a Brazilian steak tonight called picanha. A lot of beef for hardly any money. And very tasty too. Perfect!

What a day. We decided we deserved an extra treat – so on the way back home we stopped by the donut-place and bought a box with six goodies. Very colorful. And very yummy.

No ice hockey today. What shall I do then.. Lol. Have to wait until Thursday. Might be a good evening to catch up on some episods   we have recorded. Lovely.

Monday again. Don’t know what happened to the weekend – it just disappeared. But it was a great weekend with lots of fun things and also relaxation.

Last game in first round tonight in the ice hockey world championships. On Thursday it is time for the quarter finals to start. If we manage to win that one we can hold our heads up high. Might need to put on my jersey for that game..

Today it is Mother’s Day in the US – Happy Mother’s Day, dear American mom! (My Swedish mom will have to wait a couple of weeks for her congratulations – and I do too..)

A rainy grey Sunday doesn’t invite to any long forrest walks unfortunately, but in a couple of hours we are going to our team gym clubs 50th anniversary show. My youngest will not participate but we will cheer on my niece!

Have a nice day everyone!

Today I actually managed to sleep in a bit. Doesn’t happen too often. After a nice breakfast – indoor (it looked very nice outside but it was a bit too chilly) we took a walk in the forrest and I tried my new bungee walking sticks. Shall be interesting to see if they will work their magic.

This afternoon we have enjoyed my niece’s dance show – she and two friends had a number of their own which they have choreographed themselves which was great! Proud auntie!

Tonight we play our 6th game – this time towards Switzerland. Should be interesting. We definitely need to step up from the previous game when they barely beat Germany.

PS! We won after overtime.. 5 wins 1 loss so far
