Day 62

This is a little bit of cheeting, cause the picture is taken on Friday morning and not Wednesday. But I think I'm somewhat excused as the same picture could have been taken on day 62 too. This is what I eat for breakfast, almost every day; soured milk with muesli, juice and crisp bread.

Notice the little hearts in the muesli? They are so sweet, and brings a happy morning right away.

Day 61

Daniel was out of town on a work-mission, and didn't arrive home again until late at night. Ebba and I took a walk on our own right after work, and the weather was wonderful. A slowly setting sun brightened the snow-white surroundings, and some wind made the top snow-layer flow over the hardened snow. So beautiful!

Day 60

The last few days we got warmer weather and rain, and some of the snow melted away. But winter is back again, with more snow. We still have the lights out in our little tree, even though Christmas is long gone, but it looks kind of nice with the snow.

Day 59

We have ordered a Nintendo Wii game, and it arrived on Friday. As we were on our way to the cruise ship then it had to wait until today when we could pick it up. It was installed right away and we tried out the different games included. It is so much fun! And it is a little bit healthy too, as you actually get up and moving instead of just sitting in the sofa.

Day 58

Saturday and the boat is on its way back to Stockholm after the stop in Mariehamn, Åland. We had a wonderful time in the bath on upper deck (yes, indoors!), while the winter raged outside.

Day 57

Romantic, hu? =) Another cruise with our friends. Here Daniel and I are enjoying a bit of dancing.

Day 56

Nope, no picture for today.

I worked all day and then we had a meeting with our housing-cooperative board. After that I hurried home to watch the women ice hockey bronze final. Sweden played against Finland. It was quite a good game, as the teams are pretty even in skills, and Sweden played a lot better than in the previous games. But Finland scored 4-3 during extra time and neither of the Swedish hockey teams got any medal at this Olympic games. The men lost to Slovakia the night before (same morning for us).

Day 55

The title on this little booklet is "Passport for Pets". Between Sweden and Norway it is possible to travel with your pets without any preparations, as neither of the countries has rabies. But if you want to take your dog or cat or so to the rest of the European union, it is necessary to have a "passport" for the animal stating that a rabies vaccination has been taken.

This passport is for Ebba, as we plan to take our caravan to Germany this summer, and wants to take here with us. She'll get her second shot next week, and then we have to wait 120 days before they can take the blood sample showing that she has got the rabies antibodies. Then it will summer and we will be ready to travel.

Day 54

Another packet arrived in the mail today; a pair of party-shoes. I love the heel on these, quite high but still stable due to the wedge. They will be perfect on Friday.

You might wonder how I dare to mail-order shoes, but I have used this brand for a while, and I'm pretty familiar with their sizes. These looked like they could fit, and they did!

Day 53

Ouch, one complete week behind.. I have no idea where this week went!

Anyway, here is Monday and Zoey. I guess not much happened, and the weather were probably grey and cold.

Day 52

Sunday spoiled us with clear blue skies, and lots of snow. It is no longer possible to use the sidewalk as they have put the snow from the road there. Lucky this is no heavy-traffic road.



Here is when we got back after our little walk. Daniel, Linus and Ebba climbed one of the snow-piles at the end of the street, and Linus was thrilled to sled downhill.

Day 51

Today we finally got ourselves a bed. Of course we had somewhere to sleep before too ;), but only the mattresses. Now, after living in this flat for two years, we have a complete bed.

This one is made of leather and has two practical drawers beneath. I have ordered a bed cover too, hope it will arrive early next week. And then there will be lamps mounted on the wall, and maybe a shelf. It is clearly not done yet, but anyway I'm happy with the look of the bed in our bedroom.

Day 50

I was planning to take a photo of all the snow outside, but it got dark before I reminded it, so I'll substitute the snow with a more tropical item.

Day 49

Ebba sleeping in Daniels lap, while he is watching the Olympic Games on the TV.

Day 48

This is a bargain! I found it at discount in a web-shop, and when I ordered I found out that all discounted items were 20% off. So this was below half price in the end. And it is fun to get packets in the mail, even if I have ordered them myself. =)

Day 47

I guess you haven't missed that the Olympic games has began? We have watched all we can before it is bedtime, but unfortunately a lot of interesting parts are run during our night. Anyway, this was on Swedish prime-time; our second gold! This time in the men's biathlon. The first was in womens cross-country skiing.

Day 46

We went shopping on Sunday morning, and I found this wooden "love" word in a store. I've been looking for something like this for a while, and I thought it fitted perfectly on the frame shelf.

Day 45

Happy Valentines day (a little late now)!

A year ago Daniel and I got engaged on a Mexican beach. Today we celebrated that occasion in a snow covered wind shield, but still with the sun in our eyes. Daniel brought a small bottle of Champagne on our walk with Ebba to surprise me. Later on at night we had a lobster dinner, yum! Romantic, wasn't it? =)

Day 44

Our neighbors visited tonight, and we spent the day cooking for the dinner. Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures of the evening. But I had to capture the beautiful tulips that I bought at the grocery store. I love colorful tulips, they reminds me that there is a spring coming.

Day 43

On Friday night we went to pick Linus up at his mother and drove down to visit Daniels parents. We had a nice evening with delicious dinner and Linus was happy to meet with his grandparents. Later on at night Daniel did some sauna bathing, and even ran out in the snow to cool down.
