Family

It's a special feeling to have family! All to often I find myself taking them for granted, and yet they are worth so much more. This weekend I have been with my parents and their siblings, all offering years of memories and all being a part in moulding me into the person I am today! I truly love them all and hope they know it :D

Small wonders in an everyday evening

After an intense day I was invited to friends for dinner, which I gratefully accepted and was treated to a wonderful meal :) When daylight started to disapear I decided it was time to go home since I had forgotten the lights for my bike (read Håkans bike). On the way home I got lost among building sights and a poor lady who thought I knew where I was heading had followed me! Haha... just goes to show: Do not follow someone without a clue! Anyways, we started chatting and ended up heading the same way so got to share a nice 20 min ride together and I wished her blessings before our ways parted! Coming home I had a smile on my face... isn't it wonderful to be surprised by people!

Once I'd sat down in the couch I surfed the internet a little bit then saw on facebook that a friend needed some shopping help, so I jumped on my bike, went to the store then met him for a short hello and a hug before heading back home again.

On the road home I met another friend which I haven't seen in over a year, so had a short catch up before saying our goodbyes and parting ways.

Finally home there were some people having a braaii which said hello, needless to say that they were the neighbours which we've been having issues with before. After some chittchatt and talking about life they turned out to be really nice people, so now we are planning a weekend braaii with the whole hose present!

All of the above in a simple friday evening. Now it is time to pack for the rest o the weekend, since we are going to Västervik tomorrow to see my parents and their siblings during the day. Our Saturday night will be spent at a traditional Swedish crayfish party with friends before having some more family-time on Sunday.

What can I say? I have a big smile and tonight has truly been a night of unexpected blessings!

Lunch and focus

Silence surrounds me... almost creapy to hear all my own thoughts. Just took a lunchbreak and allowed myself to relax the brain for a few minutes.

A smile spreads across my face thinking about this coming weekend which will be filled with friends and family in Västervik! Hopes for the weekend is loads of crayfish, song and laughter :)

Now time to refocus again... with a hop and a skip I'll deal with the afternoons issues before starting this amazing weekend.

Thursday

Plans for today include getting out of bed, having a good productive day at work, then meet Anna at the gym for a session before spending tonight planning and fixing for the weekend :)

Can't think of decent thing to say

So I'll just write something else :)

I've had a good day in Stockholm with meetings, now I'm at the airport waiting to fly home south! As always loads of people here and they are just as fun to look at today as before the summer.

Farfar

Ibland känner jag mig oförskämt välsignad med min släkt. Detta är min farfar 92 år! Han är en underbar förebild att få ha i livet. Tänk att han skriver dagbok som en gång i månaden mailas ut till oss barn o barnbarn som vill läsa och ta del av hur han har det i vardagen! Däremellan trillar det ner lite mail nu och då från honom :) Får alltid samma underbara chockade bild av vänner när man säger att jag fått mail av farfar :D

En fika på stan

För någon vecka sedan träffades en del av gamla gänget på stan för en fika! Så trevligt att se gamla kollegor... som till större delen ynglat av sig :)
