Crossing my fingers for some swede food

Crunch time at work. But, after this week it’ll turn a bit more summer relaxed which is awesome and much needed.

Last night chilled at home with my men. We ate food, watched some TV and I got to read my book. Easy breezy and perfectly, amazingly boring. You need that too. 

Tonight heading to Notting hill for drinks. I’m hoping to eat swede food at Lisa’s. Dreaming of swede food. 

Cool kids. Soon weekend again! 

Sunny beach side and bed

Tuesday and the end of the last spring bank holiday. Love them because who doesn’t love long weekends but they always leave me exhausted even if I didn’t even do much this time. 

Friday it was 25 degrees and we had drinks in the office garden with the team. Good work team! 

After that katta and me headed to a very empty Found. Ben had been given a box of make you own Lego men. And made me a Gandalf necklace. Missed to photograph that but made myself a Viking woman with a goblet and an axe. She is going to hang with Lego George at home. 

On Saturday me, katta, Lollo and lily went to the beach. Truly British beach weather. 

So we went to the pub instead 

And had oysters and crab. Because winners.

After food we went down to the beach to take a selfie and prove we were here. 

Awesome weather as you can see…

Child pose! 

Then we went on a hike to see the sights of chichester. And almost crashed a wedding. They would have loved to have us. 

We were perfectly dressed for country side hiking. Like a slightly shittier English version of SATC. 

In time for us leaving the sun popped out. Thank you Britain for being true to yourself! 

On Sunday we stayed in bed ALL day. That was George only request after having worked like a crazy for two weeks. Watched sense8 and ate the world. 

On Monday we actually put on some clothes and headed to the park with mini man and the to queens head to play uno with a whole bunch of people. George was about to break up with me there for a moment when I kept giving him extra cards #sorrynotsorry 

So all in all a pretty chill bank holiday. Still feeling tired today but I think it’s partly pollen, it’s so bad this year. 

All the love

I’m in a never ending love story with London at the moment. I’m so tired of the grey of this city sometimes but when it’s like this it’s magic. From walking along the river to bar hopping some of the world best bars, from eating the food of every corner of the world to sitting on the sofa with the window open hearing the world pass outside. 

When I left work I put on a dress and headed to the park with Woolly again. 

We chilled in the grass. Woolly was almost dying in the heat but I was loving it. For being a swede I love the heat. 

When George came home we went to queens head for dinner. It was packed and warm and I didn’t have to wear a jacket until the very end. 

Today it’s my sisters birthday. I miss her. Love this city, don’t want to leave but miss the people that have my heart in Sweden. 

Love you beauty 

Sunny London love

London is so lovely at the moment. I have W full time which means morning and afternoon walks. Not complaining when it’s like this.

Yesterday took selfies when talking to Lollo who brought the rest of the awesome series I’m reading from Sweden. Yeah her! 

I was also a unicorn. Because why ever be anything else. Seriously. 

Cat glasses. God, are we just going to be a generation of snappers? 

I made George and my super healthy dinner. Which was good since he followed up by bringing out the vienetta we bought the other day.

You win some you lose some and the end is the same on that summer body.

This morning getting a hero message from George. He is helping me getting my groove on to face the doctors and get some more anti depressants. I’m scared shitless of those doctors since the last round.

It’s needed again. Mostly because work is a killer. Who knew someone who has issues with not being able to please everyone and not fixing the issue would suffer in a company where people are pre destined to dislike and questioning. 

So yeah. I’m dealing quite poorly with that. And I know the medicine helps so I’m going to give myself a break and get that help. Don’t need to do everything myself. 

Tonight going for dinner with my man to enjoy London sunshine. 

Otherwise I’m toast. 

Gin off

George was competing for kyrö in a gin off yesterday. And as a loving girlfriend I was there to support him. 

Since I have W full time for a week when Ol is off gallivanting I worked from home to be able to take care of him. 

Not a bad day for park life.

Woolly ate mud 

And I ate ice cream. Mr Whippy in my heart forever. 

After that hard day of work I left mini snoozer and headed into Soho and graphic bar for the competition.

George kitted me out in team outfit. In rye we trust. 

And then it started. Basically 4 teams from different gin brands competed with a cocktail each. You tried them all and then voted for your favourite. 

George and kyrö did a brilliant hibiscus and sage drink. Which I almost blew by wondering what that intriguing juice in the fridge was this morning. Last second remembered the competition…

Elliot’s team handed out the drinks in hip flasks you got to keep. How’s that for bribery. And one team made an ice cream drink.

A pistachio, limoncello, salty caramel and cardamom deliciousness (sorry babe but that was all kinds of yummy).

In the end my boys won and are now in for the next round. The ice cream guys too. 

Proud of my man. And myself since everyone came up congratulating me on my kyrö t-shirt. Thanks, did a hard job not drinking that syrup. 

Winning team got a napue GT. Don’t mind if I do. But then I needed to head home to Woolly and my bed. Monday after all. 

 

And tomorrow this beauty moves in for a couple of days. Yes, I’m running a B&B for George’s lost friends :). 

Summer has come to London so tonight W and me will take a walk and then sofa it. Winners!  

J.W Paris, blame it all in you

Went to see the boys in J.W Paris play last night. Because they are headbangingly awesome. And leatherclad sweethearts. We love that. 

The place we were at had 3 for 10 jägerbombs. So I made Natalia and Henry in my team to have some. Yes, I am a banging boss.

Then we raved to the band. 

After the gig we went to a members club in Dalston called Kings Head. Weird place that. Loads of stuffed animals and gorgeous drinks.

Hello mega giraffe head 

And who doesn’t want to bathe in a peacock, tiger bath? 

Me and Natalia were given band t-shirts and became proper fan girls. Plus, Berlin could so be my chosen place. 

Natalia got a friend 

And I toiled posed. As you should when I silver trousers and fangirl band t-shirt. 

Too bad when your boss make you stay out to 4 in the morning. Work just never stops. 

Sent them home and then went to pick up George at Found. 

To come home to my fabulous toothpaste. Saw this on a blog and went YES, need party toothpaste in my life. Now. 

There is always reason for a little disco when brushing your teeth. 

Wednesday excitement

Chillin vanillin at home last night. Kept up the never ending rain all day so what better than sofa. 

Woolly agreed. He hates the rain.

I’m reading the awesome series Odinsbarn from a Norwegian writer so I didn’t even have time to miss my man being out and about working. 

Sent him some kisses when i remembered he was not around. Then back to reading. 

Since I have W for a week straight from tomorrow with Ol being away I’m planning to go out for a cheeky one tonight. Then it’s me and mini man ALL weekend. 

Pleas give me some sun. 

Pizza night

It’s pouring down today. I’m not sure who is being punished with this spring but I am begging for some sun. My pale, vampire skin needs it. Vitamin D good dammit.

Last night met George and two of his friends up by Edgware. They work for the Harcourt. That’s a swede restaurant. And we went for pizza.

Seriously. I could have had meatballs but ended with pizza. Maybe that’s why the gods are crying today. 

After all that pizza we headed home for some cuddling on the sofa. All my people at the same time. 

Now I’m heading out in the rain for a walk around the block before chill out time on the sofa.

Every day I wish I was sofaing

Finally got to sofa yesterday. After work of course. But still, a night of glorious, glorious sofa.

Picked up W, came home and made George and me sausage meatball pasta. Easiest thing. Buy sausages, take out the meat of the skin and roll them into meatballs. Fry with some fennel seeds and mushroom. Tada! 

Then we watched American gods which is amazing and makes me smile 

And handmaiden tale which I can’t make up my mind about since I find it really hard to watch. Like have to hide my face I Woollys fur kind of hard.

Then I read some odinsbarn (awesome scandi fantasy series) and fell asleep min the arms of my man. Pretty banging night. 

Filippa in town.

Filippa has left and I’m a shell of a person. Love having my best people in town but I’m very much looking forward to vegetating on the sofa for a bit now. Im too old for this shit. 

On Friday sat at home waiting for F to come and snapchatted. Because kid at heart (even if not in body) 

She showed up, we had dinner at home and then headed up to….Found (surprise). Met with katta and linnea and had all the drinks. Again. 

Happy ladies. Alcohol does that. 

F left a message in the ceiling of the bathroom. Sorry Oscar…

We headed home to W and some night snacks and I sent messages to George stil working. 

On Saturday I walked W and then we went to an all you can eat taco and bottomless bloody brunch. Delicious and food babies. We did a good job at killing those tacos. But our poor bellies. 

George looking extra happy. Maybe because I sent a sad text to him in the morning. Totally not his fault. I think Paris and other things caught up me and I felt sad and unseen and blamed him. Not fair. Sorry for my crazy. 

And then we drunk our way through London. Shots at Jamie’s 15, shots at smokey tails, shots at jouex bordello. Hence being a shell today. 

Eric and swede crew met up with us at smokey tails and we all danced our little socks off. 

Then F and me came home for cheese. You can never go wrong with cheese.

Even if I was dying yesterday we headed out for a walk in sunny London. Wearing a new t-shirt that I got from Charlie. You’re the man. 

Ice creams for the win. 

Ending the weekend with Snapchat and zootopia. About what my brain could handle yesterday. 

Today sofa time. Needed.
