Hello!

Before this spring has run away from us completely I thought it would be nice to show some glimpses of what I've been up to while enjoying the wonderful season.

Theatre reheasals with Teater Esther usually happens in a very cold house but since we are in the beginning of our new production we could read our play on the grass one beautiful evening. This year we are making our own play for the first time and our director Frida has been the one writing it. This particular evening we read the complete play from start to finish for the very first time and it felt wonderful! This is going to be so much fun!

From left to right. Frida, Matilda and Lisa.

When it was time to say goodbye the sun had set beautifully behind the trees and bushes.
It was one of those evenings when you walk home completely giddy with feelings of anticipation and joy.

At the end of April it was Beckas birthday! She is one of my best friends and we've known eachother for a very long time.

Picnic on the top of the park Redbergsparken with this amazing view was such a perfect way to celebrate a spring birthday.

Improvised table for a wine glass...

The most tasty chocolate mint cake ever.

Last saturday I met up with my sister Sara who was in town over the weekend with her kids Hilda and Alfred. The teddy bear got to ride on Hilda's shoulders when we went to a fleamarket.

Hot dog lunch break after some great fleamarket shopping.

On the tram back into town. Teddy had injured an arm, Hilda comforts him.

And one evening David and I ate thai food at a restaurant that almost made us feel like we surely must have left Sweden for Thailand.

Oh, and a quick reminder that today is the last day to use coupon code SPRINGTIME14 over at lottalosten.etsy.com for 15% off your entire order! Hop on over and snag yourself something pretty!

Today David and I are going to the theatre to watch the new Godzilla movie. Yesterday I heard so many people say it's utter crap so my expectations are not very high (more like below the lowest of low). But it's always nice to sit in the dark theatre holding hands with David, and the walk to and from the theatre always seem to inspire interesting and fun conversations so I'm at least going to enjoy that.

Hope your thursday is a great one too.

Tjingeling!

Hello, Hej, Hi, Hallå!
Summer came to Gothenburg like it was in an extreme hurry. It's so warm and green and wonderful!
A little over a week ago it had just turned spring though and David and I were in my family's house in Rörum, Österlen for a couple of days.
We did what we always do when we're there: went for a walk to check on "our" tree where we got married (8 months ago now!) last summer.
Let's take a walk, shall we?

Outrun by a hen.

Hello Lonely Tree!

Obligatory self timer photos of us.
My hair is all over the place, David's too.

Cutesy husband being all adorable.

Raunchy wifey being all climby.

Cut to dreamy photos of pretty tree blossom.

Well, hello there!

We walked to the waterfall Forsamölla and looked at it from above. (Here you can see some pictures I took of the waterfall a couple of years ago)

This blurry photo is of David when he almost fell off a rock while filming me screaming my Vårskrik (Scream of spring, from the book and movie Ronja Rövardotter by Astrid Lindgren). It's a must, to scream for spring once every year. Now you know.

Backsippa! Dont know the english word for it.

See our tree in the distance? And the greenhouse in the middle is where we had our wedding reception. Wonderful place!

Say Hi to Astor the cat. He has one crooked whisker.

And he is a bit tired of me taking photos of him...

So that was all from Österlen this time.
Today I have lots to do and I've already checked off a bunch of things on the list. Yaay me!
Hope your weekend was splendid. Mine was! It included beer with my friends in Teater Esther, walks, lunch at a café in the sun with David, LOTS of jewelry making, an evening run over the cemetery and MANY MANY episodes of my latest tv series addiction Lost Girl (A bit like a cross of Buffy the vampire slayer, the X-files and Supernatural with great female characters and I LOVE how they don't fall into too many gender stereotypes. Oh, and how it depicts sexuality is GREAT! Can you tell I'm hooked?)

Well, that was all from me today.
Have a fabulous week, dear friends and readers!


Tjingeling!

Hi!
The past three days have been all rain and fog here in Gothenburg but before that we had a few wonderfully sunny days. We haven't really had the time for anything except focusing on the Lights Out madness lately so a sushi picnic in the park was a much needed break.
We got sushi from Ai and coffee and croissants from a nearby coffee place and then we made our way to the sun, trees, and grass.

Outside the fish shop. We weren't the only hungry ones around.

SUSHI!

It takes some concentration...

Hello!

Such a happy lady!

View infront of us.

View to the right.

Oh, David! You try to look tough but you're not fooling anyone...

... because look at you. Flowery beard and everything. The prettiest of them all.

Hi again! My favourite vintage dress of all time got its season premiere that day. I will NEVER get tired of this dress!

When the afternoon started to feel a bit cold we folded up the blanket and made our way back again.

I now declare the picnic season officially open.

I lördags var det ju à la London som ni säkert vet och jag var där med mina smycken och foton. Det gick så himla bra och jag träffade massa nya och gamla kunder. Var helt slut när jag kom hem sen och somnade i soffan med dagens kassa i ena näven och mobiltelefonen i andra.
David filmade lite på marknaden och satte ihop en finfin film som visar precis hur härligt det var.
