The world

Easter day – started out with a bit of grey windy weather but then the sun came back and it was quite nice outside.

Every year we make some sort of Easter pottering – this year we made chickens. They turned out pretty cute.

All eleven of us will soon gather around an amazing smörgåsbord and enjoy Easter dinner together. With all the traditional food to choose from. Salmon, pickled herring, meatballs, chipolata sausage and lots and lots of eggs of different kind. Mmmmm.

A gorgeous day. Sunshine and no wind. But chilly! We have had a great day relaxing, grilled some hotdogs outdoors and had lunch in the sun. Lovely!

Then my sister and her family arrived and we had a great evening together – enjoyed a nice dinner AND a fantastic sunset which we, of course, had to take lots of photos of. As usual. I just hope and pray the rest of the weekend will be this nice too! Life can be pretty awesome sometimes.

Short day at work today.. then home and pack the last of our stuff and get ready to take off.. Unfortunately hundreds of thousands (? well.. it felt like it anyway) are doing the same thing so the traffic was terrible.

After about 7,5 hrs we finally arrived to our paradise for a long weekend of relaxation, good company, good food and maybe maybe some sunsets.

Happy Easter!

Not the greatest day. Feel a bit torned. Hospital visit the first part of the day – then work – then errands. Getting ready for Easter. Organizing and sorting everything. A zillion things to remember and plan. Feel a bit like these two fellows from time to time.

We did win the game last night and we are playing in the quarter finals tonight facing Russia. It would be so great if they won that game, our hockey ladies. Then we will be in the top round fighting for the medals. That would be fun!

The women’s world championships in ice hockey has started – we lost the first game after overtime which gave us one point, then won the second game. We need to win the third one tonight to reach the quarter finals. Go girls! You can do it!

The championships are held here in Malmoe, Sweden this year.

Two short days left this week.. Lovely.

A very rainy and windy Monday to start the week. My afternoon appointment got cancelled so I decided to give myself some me-time-de-lux and booked myself to an aroma massage after work.

It didn’t work miracles for my muscles like my naprapath treatments do, but it worked miracles for my mind and soul. I was able to relax and gather energy and walked out of there a new woman. A luxury well deserved after these last couple of weeks.

Today we switched to summer time. I like that. I don’t mind getting up early. And I really don’t mind having lunch or going home an hour earlier either. Or going to bed early. I adapt much easier to summer time than winter time.

It is a very grey Sunday with rain. A perfect day to crash in front of an episode or two of a tv series. And relax. Get new energy. Next week it is a short week since Easter is coming up. Only one trip to the hospital planned. Let’s hope it will not be more.

Since I was “out-of-order” all Wednesday when it was the national waffles day, we decided to make up for it by having waffles today instead. So I made a huge stack and treated my boys a waffles lunch served with jam and whipped cream.

Then in the afternoon we met up with my sister, brother-in-law and parents to go and enjoy my dads birthday present – Svarte Orm (Black Adder) – the theatre show. We had a really good time together!

Afterwards we gathered here and had take-out-dinner with the teenagers (can’t really call them kids anymore). It was a good Saturday! Just what we needed!

An important day.. fingers crossed!

Life can be a challenge sometimes. Then you just have to get up, gather new energy and try again. There is no other way. Find your strength in your near and dear ones. Appreciate what you have and stay positive.

If I close my eyes – I can see the sunset. Soon. Maybe even sit in my chair if it’s not too cold.
