Unhealthy stuff for tonight

I'm usually pretty healthy and I try not to eat sweets and crisps too often. But something went seriously wrong when I went shopping today... Maybe I'm more hungover than I thought...

My plan for tonight? Watch loads of Hart of Dixie episodes and eat crap :)

Parkhäng

Swedish summer is amazing! And when the weather turns warm something happens to the Swedes, they start living again! After a miserable winter everyone sort of comes back to life.

Hanging out in parks (parkhäng) is a big thing over here. People meet up and have wine, beer, snacks, BBQ and maybe play a game of kubb!

I've been to two different parks this week. Catrin had a bday thing in Tantolunden on Thursday so we had a mini BBQ and some wine. It was really good to see the girls again!
Yesterday I met up with some old uni friends (Mia, Annalisa and Therese) at Rålambshovsparken.
We don't see each other that much as we've all been living in different places. Therese lives in Australia but was visiting for the summer. It was really good to catch up with them!

Music

I'm weird when it comes to music. Sometimes I don't listen to music at all for long periods of time. I sort of forget. Then one day I remember and I listen to something on my phone and remember what an amazing effect music can have on you!

Like today; Bruce just totally made my morning! I'm in the best mood ever! :)

Crazy night!

I went to Frida's yesterday evening. We just sat out on her balcony all night and had wine and talked. It was a really good night!
I eventually fell asleep on Frida's bed and when I left at 9 am this morning Frida and Veronica were still sitting out on the balcony having wine! Lol, just one of those nights I guess!!

England & Greece

Ok so I haven't been the best blogger lately. I've taken a well deserved three week break from everything. But I'm back now! Back in Stockholm and blogging!

It's been a great three weeks! We started off by celebrating my birthday in England. The day started with an amazing bday breakfast that Andy made and after that we got ready to go to London. We walked around and went to a few pubs and then Andy had booked a table at a Jamie Oliver restaurant for the evening, it was so nice! After that it was time for the Kings of Leon concert, which was amazing!

The following Saturday me, Andy, his dad and his brother went to the Bruce Springsteen concert at Wembley, it was such an awesome experience as well!! I remember my mum listening to Springsteen when I was a kid and apparently it's the only thing that made me sleep as a baby :) I haven't listened that much to him as an adult but I got the Greatest hits album a while ago and I just love him now. It was definitely one of the best concerts I've ever been to!

A few days after that it was time to head to Rhodes for week's holiday! It's been so long since I could relax like that! We spent the days by the pool, reading books and having all inclusive food and drinks. Since the food  and drinks were included we spent most of our time at the resort but we did go into Rhodes Town twice, I really liked it there!
I've never done a package holiday before, never done the all inclusive thing. I usually want to do things and see things when on holiday. I think it was good because the purpose of our holiday was to relax and not do anything else. I still think I'd prefer to try new restaurants and bars out on a normal holiday though. Or pay more and go to a big resort with several a la carte restaurants instead of a buffet. Anyway, all in all: amazig holiday!

Anyway, that was a short recap of my three weeks. I'm back as of yesterday and just worked my first day at the school today. It's so nice to have a 8-5 job again! I will mostly be doing grading work this week but will get to meet some students next week and the week after that I'll be teaching SFI alone when the other teachers are on holiday. Should be fun! I think I'm going to like it there!
