We are enjoying nice sunny days over here right now and doing the most of it. For example today we are going to Fjällbacka which is the Swedish version of Midsomer Murders in the UK. There are a lot of murders and other crime taking place there, and we are hoping to spot something.
But first we are doing an extensive visit to the tip. As you might have read before, Sweden is famous for dealing with their garbage and sorting your rubbish is taken very seriously. Last year I was told off for putting something that looked like plastic in with paper. I am sure the lady in question would have reported me to the police if they had been near by.
Yesterday my sister in law and me went into Gothenburg for a spot of shopping. She loves this very flamboyant Swedish designer Gudrun Sjödén and they had great summer sales on. Then it was time for a little visit with my mother. She is still a bit sore from the fall she had when she visited us over midsummer. It will maybe not be possible to have her here at the cottage for extended periods any more but rather just bring her here over the day.
Today might be spent doing chores around here with just a quick trip to get supplies.
So far we have been seven people in the cottage and it does require a bit of planning and shopping but everybody has been on best behavior so it has gone great.
We have had fun evening with board games, charades and limerick competitions and a lot of singing. That's what you do when you don't have proper internet.
Time to get this day started, I hear people stirring. Unfortunately, with mature age comes early waking so I have already been up for hours trying to do quiet things but now I think I can go and do kitchen noises.
Cheerio!
You look so looovely. I wish I were there.
