The world

Lovely Sunday!

First a three year olds birthday party – it was great to see the family and how big the little angel has become.

Then dinner out at a restaurant together with my sister and her family. Then straight to the dance show with my niece’s group. A whole day with my sis and her family!

The dance show was really good – she has become a very good dancer after all these years.

I arrived home in time to see the last minutes of the hockey game and after a nerve wracking last couple of minutes managed to defeat Czechia with 4-3.

“When the rain is blowing in your face, and the whole world is on your case. I could offer you a warm embrace – to make you feel my love”.

Make you feel my love – words and music by Bob Dylan – recently recorded by Adele.

Music has always been a big part of my life – playing on my piano gives me a chance to relax and find some peace and quiet and focus on the good things. If you haven’t listened to Bob Dylan’s song “Make you feel my love” with Adele recently I can really recommend it.

Now it is time to cheer on Benjamin and Steffo in the Let’s Dance finale. And today the world championships in ice hockey has started. Tomorrow we play our first game.. we have a gold to defend!

In between.. that’s how I feel today. Can’t explain it. Maybe it’s in between the ESC parts. Or in between weekends. Or visits to people I love.  Or time in our paradise. I need a new project. Something to focus on that is fun and keeps my mind busy.

Tomorrow I will see my best friend. That is closer than last time I saw her so it’s way passed in between. That’s good. Makes me smile.

Went to the new mall by IKEA. It was very modern and clean with new stores with new stuff in it. But barely no people.  That was nice. 

Hagel .. the Dutch word for sprinkles . A dear friend brought me back some from her visit to Holland.  So now me and my youngest are enjoying a very sweet toast with chocolate on. Yum.

Talking about the good in life.. I saw my naprapath today and he always makes me feel better. Eventually. Lol. He works miracles with my poor back and me being sick for so long and not being able to see him hasn’t helped so he had a lot to work with. But, I’ve been really good with my exercises all semester and it has started to result in a better back which is great.

Sunday May 4th and it is snowing outside.. Snow and sun and rain every other hour. Fortunately we had an indoor-event today – my youngest niece and her gymnastics team had their spring show today. She is getting so good – I am so proud of her! My sons flip-a-trick group had decided to not participate, unfortunately. I would have loved to see them both today.

Next week is a full working week – the first one in ages. One day at a time..

 

Saturday and no work. I accompanied my youngest and his friend to the amusement park and then enjoyed a few hours to myself. Actually bought a few things but didn’t find what I really was looking for.
After a coffee and a sandwich I left the city and crashed in my corner for a bit in front of – yes you guessed right – ice hockey game on tv. Last couple of games before the wc starts next week. Sweden is doing ok considering all the best players are missing due to NHL.

Might sneak off to see the new mall in Kungens Kurva. We’ll see.

Slow day at work with a lot of people off. Appointment at the opticians for my youngest in the afternoon so I got off early.

He had a homework assignment where he had to cook a vegetarian lasagna and so he did when we came back home. It was really tasty – made with creme fraiche instead of bechamel sauce.  And full of zucchini instead of minced meat.

Have a great Friday!
