The world

My guests just left after a very nice evening filled with Tupperware products. I’ve been a hostess for parties since I first moved to my own place back in 1989. So, my cupboards are filled with goodies of all sorts. But I do use most of them and I love them!

Now some time in my corner to relax before it’s time to hug the pillow.

My first Ingemar Stenmark cap done!  I am very proud of it. There is just one problem – it is too small for me 🙁 . I knitt too tight. Hmmm.. need to practise some more or maybe switch to larger needles. It was a lot of fun to follow a pattern though so I might give it another go. I have a pattern with bears on too.

I am having guests over tomorrow so I baked delicious butter buns. Going to give the youngsters some in a minute – they can be my test panel.

Oh – they loved them btw – so I can serve them tomorrow!

This weekend we have house guests – my boys cousins are staying here. It will be a busy weekend with homework, dance classes, more homework, cooking, cleaning, laundry and baking. But most of all – great time together and lots chats and laughter.

What a crazy week but now it is finally weekend and time to regain some energy. Hopefully it will not snow all weekend so I might dare to take a walk and enjoy some sunshine and blue sky.

The sign on the bus says “not in traffic” and that was not the destination I had in mind going home. But finally the bus with the correct sign came along and now I can enjoy the second run in the slalom race. Go Sweden!

What shall I make for dinner? Same difficult question every day. Yesterday I made “pyttipanna” – I cut all of our leftovers into tiny cubes and panfried it. So, no leftovers to finish off.

Lunch was a real treat today – we had client lunches in the office and since I had to buy and get their food I bought one for myself too. A bento box. Filled with 5-6 different Japanese dishes. Yum. Just a sample of each. Sushi, yakiniku, yakitori, spring roll, rise and veggies. And a pork of some sort with spicy sauce.  

Today I passed the Södertörn University – I really like the campus of that school. You can study economics, environment/ communication/ politics, media design, infectious disease control and environmental science here among other things.

It was a gorgeous day to day – the sunshine and blue sky just made my day.

Another hand-ball game just finished – this time against France.. but since we lost last night we are now out of reach of the semi finals. But – the good news is that we beat them for the first time in a decade. Too bad it didn’t help.

So – what do you think about this new layout? Feedback, pls!

Tonight my sons flip-a-trick class starts again. I remember when I used to have the same passion for gymnastics.  It is so rewarding to see him enjoy himself and that he has found something that gives him that extra energy.

While he is enjoying that I am going to enjoy the next hand-ball game.. we are facing Poland tonight. We need to win. I hope we do.

What a great dish. You put it in the oven and leave it there for a whole day. And it turns out great. The pulled pork, I mean. Tried pulled beef the other weekend – did not turn out as good. Pork is our favorite.

Now it is time for an evening drink to finish off the weekend and to celebrate that we beat Russia in the way too exciting hand-ball game.   Cheers everyone! 

Today it has been snowing all day. Non stop. It took a while to dig out the car so we could go grocery shopping. Now a nice roast is in the oven, potatoes ready to be next. Relaxing a bit before dinner and watching an old movie called “Nemesis Game”. Hoping for an equally good day tomorrow.

Have a nice evening!
