Back

Hi there!

I'm back again. I hope you are enjoying the summer so far, I know I am! ;O) We have been home to Sweden visiting my family for some days. We went to surprise my cousin for his examination from school. Was great! This time we had time to do lots of things but not all I would have wanted. Every time I'm back in Sweden I always want to do more than what I have time for, wish I could have stayed a little bit longer... time flies!

Now I'm back in Madrid with over 30 degrees, the other day we had 37! hot hot hot! Too much if you ask me, but at least it's great when you go to the pool ;O) we went yeasterday after work. Today we had the day off and we have been to IKEA, which means some more stuff to try to make place for at home and some Swedish food! jummy!

Tomorrow it's midsummer, I hope you will have some sun back home and enjoy the day and the night! ;O)

I will show you some photos later... now I'm off to bed! Sweet dreams!


Thunder and rain!

Hey all you bloggers!

Today is yet another grey day here... lately there has been lots of rain and thunderstorms around... the other day it was "raining" ice at home, but not like in Sweden no, ice balls big as cherries! And today it has been raining too much... here in Spain it doesn't rain like in Sweden either, it rains just for about 10 minutes at a time but it rains a whole lake in that time! I promise! today there was even water coming in from the roof at the office! And the toilets turned into fountains if I should believe my collegue that came back from the toilet telling us that there was water all over, hehe.
Well, that's Spain when it rains! But then again you normally get some sunshine even during the grey days, which is good ;O)


this bad weather makes me wanna go back to Lanzarote with sun and beach! ;O)

I hope you have a great evening! with some better weather than we have here...

Ciao!

Weekend and films

Good Sunday afternoon everybody!

I'm still on evening shift at work, seems that it would never end.. but soon I will be on holidays! ;O)

This weekend I have been working 13-21... that means that you get to sleep long in the morning and you still have time for a nice dinner and movie in the evening when you get home, nice!

Yesterday we saw the film "Beastly". Was like a Beauty and the Beast story, but a modern human version. I kind of liked it, I love the lovestories haha.. but I think Carlos was kind of bored as he started singing and moving around and stuff... hihihi not his kind of film..

I like films that makes you happy, like comedies, romantic comedies and so on.. soooo nice to relax and they makes you feel good! ;O) Then again, a film has to be really really bad if I shouldn't like it, because I like most films.. historic ones, accion, thriller, drama... besides the ones I already mentioned.. the only films I normally don't like are horror movies... DON'T like them! I don't see the meaning of seeing a film just to get scared.. but there are some good horror movies, well maybe because they are more phycologically scaring... like the Spanish film "The orphanage", that is a great film. It's so well made and the fear kind of grows within you.. I was scared for two weeks after that film! haha so I'm not sure I would see it again, but it I strongly recommend it to the ones that like this kind of films!


"Beastly", a typical love story ;O)


"The Orphanage", one of really few really good horror movies..

Enough writing for today! Have a great Sunday evening people!

Kisses!


A visit

Hi there!

These days my parents have been here for a visit. This time they also brought two friends with them. We have been around Madrid to see things, eating lots of tapas and paella and had lots of fun!









It has been three intense but great days! I miss them already!

Eurovision!

Hey and hello!

I know it's been kind of silent here lately... I have had a really bad cold and I have been laying on the couch for a week before I could get back to work a few days ago. Now I'm feeling a lot better and I'm back in tha game! ;O)

Tonight is the Eurovision Song Contest... nice! Sweden is in the finals this year, so I'm gonna watch.. we will go to a friends place to see it, so I'm heading for the shower now. I just made some "rulltårta" to bring as well, jummy! (a rolled cake.. haha can't explain it in English! so I'll show it to you instead)


mmmm... rulltårta! ;O)

I hope you all have a nice Saturday evening!

Avanna.se

Hello there everyone!

I'm still sitting around in the sofa with a huge cold... I couldn't go to work yesterday in the end... I hope I'll get better by tomorrow!

Today I wanted to give you a tip about a Swedish designer that just a little while ago opened her own web shop WWW.AVANNA.SE. There you can find her really cool designs. Now you can also win an optional product from her shop through her blog http://pyttis.blogg.se, so go have a look!

The one I would like to win is this tank top, so nice!




I have been reading her blog for quite a while now, and this girl gives me lots of inspiration as she shows us all that dreams can come true! If you work hard, you can do anything you want! ;O)

Well, I hope you all have a nice afternoon! See you later alligator!









I've got a cold...

...and it sucks! I woke up today with a heavy head, the nose full and a sore throat...uff!
And I have to go to work at 15.00h! Well, I hope the afternoon will go fast so that I can get home and go back to bed again!

Well, as I'm not really in a good shape today, I leave you with some pictures from the birthday parties from this weekend. I wish you all a great day!


at Carlos´ sisters place celebrating the birthday of Carlos´ nephew.



at Lindas place celebrating her birthday, was a really nice party. Later we went out for a while as well. On the picture: Piia, me, Linda and Petja.



Alcalá de Henares

Good evening people!

Today we went for a walk in Alcalá de Henares in the afternoon, after I got home from work. It was really nice. We stopped by the Swedish candy shop there so I could buy some Swedish sweets! jummy! how I miss them sometimes! Then we went for some tapas at a one of the many terraces before going back home again. A really great afternoon!


The old square in the centre of Alcalá. It's so beautiful now in the spring.


flowers on a balcony, niiiiiice!


a pinted garage entrance... so cool! ;O)

I'm off to bed! From tomorrow I will be on evening shift so I can sleep long in the morning!

Sleep tight!

I really need to...

... clean the apartment, make something for lunch, go out walking... and what do I do? I sit here surfing around on the internet... hmm.. can someone come take my computer for a few hours?
Why is it that you always just wanna do this and this and this instead of get your ass off the sofa and do all that stuff that you really need to get done? Well, I guess when I'm finally off from work for a few days I just want to do what ever I feel like doing ;O) hehe what's wrong with that, right?

Today we have two birthday parties to go to, it's gonna be a niiiice evening!

Well, now I'm off to make some lunch anyways... I wish you all a great weekend!

Kiss kiss!





A long day

Good evening sweeties!

Today has been a long day and now I'm finally heading for the bed! Tomorrow is the last day of work before my days off! As I mentioned, but it's worth mentioning again, I have the weekend off this week!!! ;O)

Well today we had a meeting at work about the company moving and all. They will help us to get out on the "looking for a job" market in the best way by helping us prepare ourselves. That's good at least. Was interesting.

When I got home I saw we received the voting paper for the elections in the regions here in Spain that will be held in May. Don't know what to vote yet though.. have to get some information about the different ideas.

This afternoon I went for a long walk on the fields again, love it! Helps me to relax and gives me so much energy back! It's like Swedish summer here now, so all is in bloom and the fields are green... aaaaah sooo wonderful!

I also made a nice dinner for Carlos as he had to stay over at work, they had some problems coming up during the last hour. Well, so I made wok and then I surprised him with chocolate dipped streawberries for dessert, so jummy!


someone in need of a shower maybe? ;O)


the ingredients for "THE wok" ;O) hehe... chicken, onions, carrots, corn, paprika, pineapple, chili (or something like that) and the milk of coconut. Then you throw in some curry and some asian sauce you like as well... jummy!


dessert! these were so easy to make and sooooooo good! We ate them all at once! haha


I hope you all had a great day! Sleep tight and see you tomorrow my bloggers!

Fin de mar!

presents and other stuff

Hey ho and good evening all people!

I forgot to show you my presents that I got for my birthday ;O)


here's the dress, the parfume and the two necklaces, then I also have the tickets for the spa ;P niiice!

I made a chocolate cake for my birthday, so now we have had that for dessert during the last 3 days with strawberries and vanilla sauce! jummy!


mmmmmmm...

Now there's only two more days of work before the weekend! Jippy! Today I went shopping a bit, got two bracelets and a skirt for me and then I bought a present for a friend because it's her birthday tomorrow. I hope she will like it!

By the way, the sun has come back to Madrid again and the weather is great! :O)

Now: the second part of the soccer game and then sleeeeep! I wonder who will win the semifinals of the Champions... Real Madrid or Barcelona?

Over and out.






Too early...

Hey there!

Good morning! Or really, it's too early yet to be a "good" morning... ;O) I'm sitting at work, longing for my bed... how nice it would be to still sleep for a few hours! But it's a new day and a new week, and a new year for me... my 27th year on this earth ;O)

Well, at least the sun is showing itself a bit behind the clouds now, it's a beautiful sunrise... so it might just be a great day!

Happy Monday everyone!

Happ..happ.. happy birthday to me!

Hello bloggers!

Today I'm now 27 years old! Well in the end I don't really feel older, you know.. just one day more that yesterday...so not so much... ;O) haha

Happy Easter... and a mix of other things...

Good morning! I just got up.. worked the night shift for a collegue that was sick... now I'm feeling kind of up side down, but it's ok, otherwise I would still be at work today anyway... ;O)

By the way, the film "Rio" that we went to see the other day was great! So funny! I can recommend that one!

And of course I can't forget... I wish you all a Happy Easter!

Me, I'm looking forward for tonight, I will celebrate my birthday with some freinds! (I will be 27 tomorrow! how did this happend? I was just 18 a few years ago...haha) But I wouldn't go back anyway! I'm happy right were I am now, and I have so much more to look forward to!


Excuse me, who's are these pyjama pants again? hahaha ;O) 




Now we're going...
