Mjauu, and party on!

Simon´s cat! I never get tired of watching it.



Manu TJ use to work as a DJ in Scandic, Gran Canaria when I worked there 2001-2003. It is nice to see that he is doing well now :)

10.000 visitors :)

We have passed 10.000 visits on my blog!!! That is amazing :) I am so glad that you read it!

Not much has happened here though. I have kept on studying. I did a test opposition on another student´s thesis last Wednesday. It went ok even though I was so nervous.

I was working on Thursday and all day Friday. It was fun, even though I was sick. I had a bad tummy and a bit of a fever. In the evening I wrote my CV and send it out. Emma and I went for a long walk (1hr 15 min)


This weekend has been a quiet one. I have been feeling poorly. I have been half feverish with a sore throat etc.
Annie came over for a coffee on Saturday. I managed to clean of all the pollen from the garden furniture and Mike and I put the BBQ on for dinner.
Today (Sunday) has been a day of relaxation. I slept until 13 pm, believe it or not. I think my body needed it. After a shower I went down to the Örsjö market. Emma and Mattias were at the stalls.




Thanks to all you readers. I will keep up :)

Got some work!

It has been a while now since I last wrote. Sorry, here is a sum up on what’s been going on in my life the past few days.
I have been studying a lot. I “finished” my thesis last week.
Emma and I have gone rollerblading. It is a great exercise. We have also been walking as usual.
Last Thursday we found the way to a lovely place, you can see the whole Örsjö lake from a mountain in the forest. We brought some wine with us and I enjoyed/celebrated the fact that I just sent in my thesis.


Cheers! My thesis has been sent in :)



I have been swimming with Annie last Tuesday.
Ida came over for a visit on Wednesday.

I have got some hours work for the next 3 weeks at the school were I did my last teacher practice :) I will be teaching biology (NO) in year 5 and 6 three afternoons a week. Great! I was working two days last week and two days this week.

Now on Wednesday I have to go to university and get information on how to do the final examination; the opposition. I am nervous, I have to read 3 other students thesis and then give an opposition on one of them to practice before the proper examination that will be held on May 30-31:st.

On Friday I went to Växjö to visit Susan. We went out to Café deluxe. It was a lot of fun. We danced and drank gin and tonics.

Off to Susan in Växjö


On Saturday we celebrated my dad´s 55-year birthday. We ate BBQ chicken and more buffet food. In the evening Carl came over to help Mike fix the van. He also built our new table for the terrace. I forced the boys to watch The Eurovision Song Contest, I enjoyed it. But I do not like the Swedish contribution at all, it is pathetic. “I want to be popular”. It is a song for the brain dead people.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today I have been working and studying. Tomorrow I will study all day.
I still have not managed to lose any weight, it is so annoying. Where is my willpower?

The Summer is almost here now

Wednesday: I studied for about 5 hours. For dinner I made a lovely cottage pie.

In the middle of studying

Thursday: I had a meeting with my supervisor about my thesis. She told me that I have done a great job and that I can relax, I will definitely finish it on time. Excellent! After the meeting I went to Ida´s, we ate sandwich cake and drank some coffee, Linn came over too. Before I drove home I had a hot bath at my mom´s place. In the evening Emma and I had a long walk in the forest.

In the forest

Yesteray: I studied for 5 hours. Then I bicycled from Örsjö to Nybro (1.2km, a little bit less than 1 mile) Mike picked me up after he finished work. In the evening I was sat in the sun and enjoyed a few glasses of wine. Nice! Mike made dinner; curry, chips and rice with salad.

Bicycling on Gamla Nybrovägen

Today: The weather has been fantastic today, nice and warm (around 20 degrees C). The cats have been out running around all day. Mike kept on painting the garage and I washed both the cars. I went to town and did a bit of shopping and in the evening we made a BBQ and watched a film. Mike went to bed really early because he is working an extra shift tomorrow (06 am -18 pm) long day. I will clean the house tomorrow and make him a nice Sunday roast for when he gets home. Maybe I will go for another bike ride as well, it was nice to bicycle again. Or perhaps I will go inline skating instead. As long as I do some kind of exercise because I have eaten tons of food this weekend…

Valborg

The sky on Valborg-day (Saturday) Nice!
Thursday the 28:th of April: I kept on writing on my thesis all day. In the evening I went swimming with Linn and Annie. I got some backdated petrol money from the hospital, excellent. It was over 4000 sek! It went straight into Mikes account though…I owed him money for my new brakes on my car that he got for me months ago. It is good of the hospital to pay out petrol money.

Friday the 29:th of April: Study, study, study…I was out running in the forest. That was HARD work, hehe. In the evening I went to Ida’s place and ate sandwich cake, yummy! I watched a bit of the Royal Wedding between William and Kate. It was beautiful.

Lap Dog :)

Sandwich cake
Saturday the 30:th of April (Valborg): After a walk with Emma I went to pick up Annie. We went to Ida´s place at 14 pm for a glass of wine on the balcony. Then we spent the rest of the evening at Kim and Emelie´s place. We made a BBQ and had a great party!

BBQ
Yesterday I was a little bit tired, hehe. I spend most of the day watching the final snooker world championship. Higgins – Trump.

Today I have been at the library at the university. I got some more information and help to write my thesis. Now I am off out for a run and later tonight I will watch the end of the final in Snooker. Go Trump!

Tequila this morning

Tomorrow I will spend most of the day studying and exercising. Emmy is coming to my place around noon and we will go for a walk. In the evening I am going swimming with Linn.
