Creatures of habit!

Have we become such a creatures of habit that we have forgotten how nice a walk in the rain can be? Left my car for service at Toyota and for me the obvious choice was to walk home. Ok just before i arrived at toyota the rain was really poring down but it was ok when i arrived. The gentleman at Toyota wondered how i would take me home, and when i said walking he wondered where to, cause his collegue lives down town and if i wanted to wait for 30 min, he could drive me home. I just thanked him for his kindness, started spotify and walked home. Actually im impressed that there are still real gentlemen out there, i thought they were extinct!

Just for your info, i just bought the coolest coffeebrewer to have at work, so no more bad coffee at work. Its a pressurebrewer, thermos and a coffee/teacup all in one :) and i also order a bucketgrill, so soon i will be a proud owner of a grill and can bbq this summer on a real grill, not those disposable ones :)

Bright lights big city

Was in Stockholm last tuesday with my wonderfully wonderful Jess. We met our friend Linda, drank some beer and just loved being in beautiful Stockholm. We saw Linkin Park that evening, good concert.

On wednesday i went to Uppsala and met Guðrún, Eiríkur, Jóhanna and Gísli, its been too long since we met, and it was so great to see them.

I really could see myself living in Stockholm, maybe its time for a change?

Ran in my new ET shoes, dont know if it was the air under my feet but i ran faster and a little bit further than before :) Strange really because i really wasnt feeling like i was up to it, but the feeling after the selftorture is over is to good not to do it.

Its just to keep up the good work!!

Went out for a run, trying to get into shape before my trip in the fall. Had to stop after almost 30 min, my old nemesis my intestine put in a protest and refused my to run any further without an accident. So the good girl that i am i walked home.

My trip in the fall.....

Me and Jess are going to explore the Croatian coastline, the plan is to fly to Croatia and travel down the coastline and possibly islands and fly home from somewhere longer down the coastline. Sounds amazing i know, we think so too. The only plans will be where to fly to and where to fly home from.

Went out for a run earlier today. It was 22°C in the shadow, and the few shadows on my route were greatly appreaciated. I thought i would melt!!

But who am I to complain, from what i have heard they had a little snow in Reykjavik yesterday and its still quite cold there.

Now I´m ready for the summers outside BBQs and picknics. Bought these nice plastic wineglasses so no more drinking wine from milkglasses :)

Also I´m tired of the disgusting fridge at work. We clean it every sunday but still we have some old food. Last sunday i threw out someones dinner which had green fury spots on it and it wasnt kiwi. So i put this note on the fridge hoping people will start thinking before leaving half a sandwich they wont eat later, even though that was their original plan. Our work fridge is a biohazard!!

Walk in the sun in västra mark. Its like 22 degrees outside and sunbathing i understand but taking a dip in the water when its not even 20 degrees in the water i dont understand!! For me to go in the water it has to be over 20 degrees, preferably over 22 than its ok.

Its my day off and i´ve been doing nothing today, just enjoying my day off in the sun.

First bikeride of the summer completed, was somewhere between 45- 50 km, 2,5 hours. Is ok but im so out of shape.

If you click on the link and then check my profile you can see my route, and activity.

Spontanious party yesterday. Was chatting with Jessica and she asked out of the blue if i wanted to come to Växjö and party with her. Since i didnt have any excuse not going, i changed my clothes, put what i needed in my bag, jumped in my car and drove to Växjö city for a party.

To make a long story short rum, coke and caiprinihas are a recipie for a good night and boy did we have a good night.

Just downloaded this app to my phone, ran intervall this morning.

My plan is, if i post my results here, it will hopefully help my keep up the good work

Day off

What to do on a day off? I love the sun and right now im quite thankful it is hiding, i really need to clean my apartment, getting afraid that the dust will attack me!

The sailing was great, the weather was great, just one short rainshower, the company wonderful, the food and wine perfect so everybody was happy.

On saturday is time for next party with my coworkers. My friend has a summerhouse on Aspö, an island 30 min outside of Karlskrona and we will meet there for a BBQ. I am responsable for the food, and for starter everybody will get a nice summardrink, rosé, sparklingwater and strawberries. Main course will be grilled icelandic lamb, with ovenroasted rootvegatables and some nice sause and salad of course. For dessert im making bowls of chocolate and white chocolatmousse, served with warm summerberries.

What do you think is it a menu fit for kings?

Gothenburg

Spent my weekend in Gothenburg with amazing friends. Jessica, Max, Aske and Bella whom we met in south america. Cashing up on friday, we went to Liseberg on saturday and of course we partied a little. The drive home yesterday felt very long. And this morning it took more than 5 minutes to get up, time to face facts, im not 22 anymore.

This weekend im going sailing with Anders and other coworkers, we are picking up his sailboat in Kalmar and sailing back to Karlskrona. Well i wont be doing much sailing, mostly sitting and hoping i will survive and not getting seasick.

puss my friends

Happy Easter!!

Happy easter everyone. Today im going to a dinnerparty with the other Icelanders here. On the menu Icelandic lamb.... i know i dont have to say anything more.

On sunday there will be chocolate feast, after work of course, its not fair towards the others if i eat my lovelyful Icelandic chocolate easteregg, while the eat the Swedish version, mixed candy in a paperegg. Dont get me wrong i like their easteregg to, but i love the chocolateshell more.

Yesterday was (according to the calander anyhow) the first day of summer in Iceland, lets just say that i enjoyed the sun for you. Summer and winter meet and froze together and well if you believe the old folktale then thats a good sign, the summer will be good.

Kram kram from a sunny Karlskrona

Spring? Been in Iceland for a week and it started snowing and there was snow the whole week, i thought that spring was just around the corner. It made me uncontrollably happy when i came home last night to see that there was not a snowflake in sight here and the air is warmer. Helga was christening her baby girl and her name is Anna Kristín, named after me and Runa. I thought Helga would be creative and give Anna Kristín a name that has not been in the family before but apperantly we mean so much to her. I have to admit it was a very pleasant surprice, and it was difficult to keep the tears away, think i managed to hide it for almost everybody. My cousin Inga Rún was compeeting in gymnastics yesterday and her group came in 2nd place so she is on her way to the Nordic Championship later this year, I am so PROUD of her. I hope i can get a change to go there and watch her. I tought Jonas, my sisters youngest a swedish word this week:) when i say puss he comes and gives me a kiss, its so sweet.

Whats up? I have a few ideas up my sleeve that i am working on, i dont want to tell you to much, afraid of jinxing it. But when i know some more, i will let you in on it ;) I can tell you that i sent a request to Marabou on facebook, asking to be their chocolate amassador. If i get it i will travel with them to Equador in august to the amazonas to learn about the origin of their wonderful dark chocolate. I have to blog about the experience, but that i can do. I LOVE chocolate, so be nice to our earth, its our only source of chocolate!! This week i have been teaching at work, teaching our or-nurses and orderlies to perform CPR on kids and babies, next week i will continue. And on friday i will get a vacation for one week. Will be nice, i am going to spend it with my family.

How is everybody, been a while since i wrote here. A lot has happened since last time.
Helga gave birth to a beautiful babygirl on feb 15. I will go to Iceland in april to meet everybody and finally hear what to call little Doris, allthough she will always be little Doris to me.
Sometimes i wonder if i should just move to a desert island, no complications, just me and the nature.
I dont know, i feel restless, i want to do something new, but thats no news to those who know me, any ideas?
