Lofoten
Sorry
The autum is here for sure, and l like it! So many colors to enjoy. Spent the weekend at mum and MIckes since she turned 50 today, party party. I dont hafto eat more this week...stuffed!
Me, Bullen, Ante and my Auntie Maria and her hubbie Johan slept in the little cabin in the back yard, felt like back in the days when we spent the summers togheter, playing, giggeling and laughing our days away.
Its also been a lot of this wordfeud going on, letters and words flying around, its hard with words on C... Emma is giving me a hard time, shes beeting me big time and keeps laughing in my face, but i will get her....just need to get my brains working again....
Its been full on as usual, working in Gothenburg 2 weeks, like it a bit more lively the city then Halmstad...But for now it looks like it will be an autum in Halmstad after 2 weeks up north!
Hasta luego!
Got to seasons of Sons of Anorchy on my hard drive now...now how i will spend my sunday eavning! Mumma!
Fire in the garden
Yesterday Macke made a fire in the garden as soon as the sun set behind the rooftops. Burning fire is quite hypnotic...cant keep my eyes of it.. We sat around the fireplace, had a cup of coffe and a bowl of ice cream with home made chocolat sauce made by Conny...Sweet summer night, don´t want it to end...
Surf and turf

Sipping a beer and waiting for Mickes bbq to be finished, im spoiled!
Been good today, took mum to Särdals old Wind mill so she could go nuts in the shop, sorted out my stuff and been counting playing cards, quite impressed that me and my sisters been so careful when playing cards back in the days that i only had to throw away to decks out of 10, from missing cards - Heja the Määttäs sisters!
Did a clasic todayt and brought a big load of dirty cloads home to mums, im on my third wash by now, and she got a 9 liters capacity (suppose to be a big one...)! It could be a sign of me working to hard....think I need a holiday!
Need to say sorting, washing, throwing and cleaning makes me tired...Mum just said "dinners ready!" Need to run Im starving!
Back in Strawtown!
Its not easy traveling in Sweden to get from The North to Halmsatd i had to take a detour to Copenhagen, do like spending time on the airport, nice feeling to it, people going in every direction.
My roomies gave me a warm welcome, they picked me up from the train station and made me a smoothie - got the best roomies ever! For sure miss Lapland but still nice to be back in the cottage and this week is full on, Tall Ships Races is just around the corner... SUP event need to be planned and fixed!

I had heaps of fun and ended up with an audience, sweaty and full of energy I left the glassworks with an Idea that I want to work with something more creativ and lively. This sunday I had a workshop at my place and made art with papier maché, left it all over the place! Love it love it love it! Magnus helped me hes the glass master on Steninge Glashytta. heja Magnus!

Marstrand
Such a beautiful place! Went up there yesterday to get some inspiration for the upcomming Tall ships races and Stand Up after Sail in Halmstad 4-8 of August. It was Stena Match cup Sweden that took place, and Jess this is really a Stekigt place! We went through the VIP areas, so many fancy people in sailing gear. Haha not really my cup of tea but they had a Irish guy playing the guitar, that i do like!
This is a preview of what it might look like at the Stand Up after sail during the tall ships races and the SUP event that will take place. Imagine SUP besides 70 ships of this kind? Lovely!
I went SUPing yesterday, so peacful! I went to Grötvik maina where the Elivis imitation gave me a warm welcome and the audience took my picture, got a bottle of water before I waved and paddled away again! Hahah what a promotion tour för SUP! heaps of fun!
I live in my favorite house!
I got everything I need, a kitchen, a bed and now a drapery to make my little corner extra cosy, we got a laundry machine (favorite chore, hang the laundry outside..), a lounge, and a big back yard - a perfect place!
I like having someone to chat with after work and someone to cook with and try new recepies..
We have two new hammocks thank´s to Mamma and Micke! Sweet as for my nap times...
My roomies during one of our many BBQ in the eavning sun! I told Macke he would end up on the blog...
What a nice weekend
Had my cousin over for a visit, sweet. Gave her a guided tour in Halmstad and some of my favourite places in the region. We went down to Grötvik, gave her a quick show of Tylösand, Mjellby art museum where we hade lunch (thank´s Anna), then we ate an Italian ice cream at Möllegård (thank´s Anna!) it´s just fantastic! Then we headed in to town and walked around in the empty city centre, and she was of again. Nice day in the sun! My roomies are back! It´s been empty, lucky Katrin stayed over this weekend, to quiet in the house without the boys! We had a BBQ yesterday, Magi + 2 Aussis and Emil and Anton joined in, acctually made a succesful mudcake this time (followed the recepie, not as fun as freestyling...but much more tasty...)
The canoila feilds just outside Mjellby, just love the bright yellow flowers, sure makes me happy! Mjellby art museum got a show with Nordic surrealism at the moment, and that gengre of art I do appriciate al lot, nothing is inside of the box, talk about letting loose, it´s like a dream, weird and loveable!
Tylösand at a good day and art from the gallery at Hotel Tylösand, tres Hombres.
Me and Katrin made scones, my favourite breakfast! Kajsa we use Not2Hot very offten!
This is where I want to live! Such a nice place! Not to far of just 15 minutes from Halmstad.
Hello hey!
The weekend also offerd plenty of kids in every size. On saturday me and Frida took the kids to Halmstads kids celebration in the park. Heaps and heaps of kids in variated age and size, baloons, prams, parents and sausages for hungry little tummies. Frida loaned me one of her kids so i could practise (in case of..), and its really not a walk in the park, taking a pram for a ride....people al over the show! I´m super impressed with parents, how do the manage, sweat started to drip and after 30 minutes I was kind of enoyed of al the bikers and lazy strollers on the pavemnet.....get our of my way cant you see I got a baby on board!!! Wanted to shout but just gave a vauge smile and 1000 angry eyes...
After that I was worthy a cold one and a big bag of sweets! I had to rest in Fridas couch for an hour or two...
Well the kids weekend wasn´t over, sunday it was Mayas big first year celebration. same thing kids in al sizes you can imagine, i stuck to a corner of the garden with Ellie, shes not a big fan of crowds either...But the do come with joy!
Happy weekend! Now new begginings! Sweet as!
some of them sleept trough the whole thing...The week that passed
Has been great, the wedding fas super fun and before we went down to Skåne Ida, Valter, Kajsa, Pappa and Päivi stayed in Halmstad for two days. They rented bikes from Halmstad cykeluthyrning, had a look around town, went shopping (its fun shopping for someone else and my brother do have great taste), had BBQ and went to Anki and Pelle for a yummie dinner! Love having my family over for a visit....sucks that they live so far far far away...I bit lonely now when they left, lucky I have to roomies, otherwise it would have been far to quiet in the little house! 
Skateboarding and riding the bikes, did a lot of it!
"Fika" out in town
The rest of the week I have been swimming in the salt water pool at Simstadion, did "Kaffe med dopp" with Katrin the oter day, perfekt wakeup, beautiful morning swim, love that place and its for free, eaven better...Sweet as!
Yesterday we went to Mjellby art museum, pretty cool place, the home of the surrealistic Halmstad group. The have a childrens workshop every sunday, need to borrow a kid so I can join (only one adult/kid) they do heaps of cool surrealistic stuff! It was a peice of magic, kind of Dalí atmosphere on the place. Felt like when me and my grandmoter went to Salvador Dalís museum in Figueres in Spain, weirdest place ever but som much character and inspiration, it felt like you could be a bit weird in that place and acctually fit in!
Buen fin de semana!
