So the Easter weekend has begun. Started with a sleep in. Day off, long breakfast. Heavenly! Started to move around my furitures in my living room yesterday and I needed to continue this today. But I almost done now, need to tweek some but I can start to celebrate Easter now.
Tulips and chocolate. That's all I need to have a nice Easter!
Have a great Easter weekend!
February so far has been, a pain in the arse. I have been sick on and off since the beginning of the month. This is my 5th day at home from work with coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing and fever. And I'm soo over it! I'm getting better now, but not fast enough!
And whats worse? I haven't knitted a single stitch during this week. I have too many lace things on the needles and I need something straight forward stockinette/garter stitch to knit at the moment. Maybe I can start a simple scarf during the day.
The spring arrived in my kitchen today. In the way of new curtains. Took down my red Christmasy curtains and hung up some flowery tulips. Outside we had a new batch of snow, 10 cm came down today. And it's still snowing.
Now I'm off to the football stadium to watch some live football . Sweden vs Argentina. Zlatan vs Messi.
Finally I have a new sofa. I have talking about it for a year and a half. And late last week, I got a big package. I was very excited!
And after about an hour, I had a sofa to sit in. =) It's an Ektorp from Ikea.
Last week I also got a new bed frame. Bought it second hand from a friend. Original from Ikea.
And I'm pretty happy about the result. =)
Argh, my washing machine is broken. Spare parts are on the way - from Italy.. The repair man will come earliest Monday, next week.. So what to do? Well, you use the neighbourhood washer in the public laundry room. Free for us living in the hood. Found an empty time slot this afternoon, so I could wash some clothes. I have booked another time later this week to take care of the heavier stuff.
But I sure had spent those money on something else than on a spare part. But hey, that's life, right?
For weeks and weeks I have living with most of my clothes outside my walk-in-closet. I discovered, what I thought, a water leak, before midsummer. I called my super and he did some checking and called in other guys. Finally they discovered the ventilation from my bathroom stood still, and the humidity and heat from my bathroom had started to condensed inside in my walk-in-closet (those are wall to wall of each other). So my walk-in needed to dry out and they needed to fix the ventilation. Nothing of my clothes and things were damaged in this, but they smelled like an old basement.
So during all this I started to go through and wash all my clothes and finally deciding what to keep and what to loose. Yesterday I gave 2 bags with clothes to my favorite charity organisation Stockholms Stadsmission, and today I managed to get another bag filled with more clothes to loose. I had planed to do this for ages, and now was the right time, when everything was out of the closet. This weekend I have started to put back clothes in my walk-in and suddenly I have room for new clothes in my walk-in - it was basically overloaded with clothes. And with clothes I haven't been wearing for years and years.
Between all laundry to do and cleaning I have dedicated every Sunday to see the series of River Cottage with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall: So far I have seen: Escape to River Cottage, Return to River Cottage and River Cottage Forever. And while watching on my computer, knit!
Lately I have been knitting on a mistake rib scarf to myself. An autumn is not complete without a new scarf, right? ;-)
Now, I need to go back to fix my walk-in! Have a great Sunday!
It's election day here in Sweden! And it's important to vote. I have already been to my voting station and cast my vote and now it's waiting time. Keeps my fingers crossed for a change!
I also need to buy a new pair of eyeglasses. I have borrowed 4 pair from my store. And I have to choose between these:
So what do you think? My favorite is the upper right green ones. But since I'm thinking of buying 2 pairs I need help to find the second pair.
New sneaker today! A new pair of converse, my old red converse has been retired and gone to "shoe heaven". We had a great run together, but it was time to part. I just hope my new ones and I has as good time as the old ones! ;-)
(All shoes/sneakers 20% off on Stadium at the moment, I may go back to buy more!!)
From today I'm babysitting my neighbours flowers. She has left town to go to her country house for couple a weeks. So suddenly I have lots of flowers on my balcony!
Pretty indeed, is my thought!
