I forgot!

I just have to mention that in the middle of Marsh that just ended way to fast we also went to a concert. The 21st of March we headed to the Globe to see two of the greatest musicians ever. One of them with a special place in H:s and my history since we first met at one of his concerts. A wonderful summer night almost 8 years ago. But this Friday night the snow was poring down over a dark and windy Stockholm. Sting and Paul Simon lightened up our night and left us with a memory of one of the best concerts ever.

Paul Simon & Sting spelar på Globen i Stockholm.

Paul Simon is actually 73 years old and Sting about 10 years younger. They had 16 musicians with them and the 3 hour long concert felt more like 1 hour. The age of the audience was very wide, teenagers and old, grey people and everything in between. Because good music is ageless. We had so much fun we bought tickets to see Paul McCartney in July. More live music to the people!

This funny little thing called time...

And all of a sudden it's the end of March and I don't understand how time just fly! Then I start to think about what we did since I last updated the blog and realized that we've been pretty busy... Here are a few highlights from last time:
  • MRI course in Lund. A few lovely days in our southern university city filled with information, physics, tips and tricks about cardiac magnetic resonance. 
  • A girls weekend in Västerås! Me, my sister and our two childhood friends that I didn't see for over 10 years got together for a lovely girlsnight in Västerås. Talk, sauna, good food and drinks, more talk and it felt a bit like time stood still... Childhood friends are indeed a treasure. Rare and dear.
  • We had a sudden urge to throw out our disgusting wall-to-wall carpet so one Saturday we bought a new floor and H put it in. The girls helped to clean the mysterious wall paintings on the walls that turned up around 1,5 years ago. On the pic you can see the new floor, very nice and clean compared to the old carpet... So now we have a very fresh playroom!


  • Lovisa started swimming-school again and loves it so much. She's a real fish and it's hard to get her up from the water...
  • We saw spring arrive and disappear, like it usually does this time of year. But it's fortunately much brighter, every morning I think I'm late for work only because it's so bright so spring is hear! It's just bloody cold...
  • And of course we worked hard, the girls went to daycare and we cooked, cleaned, cuddled, argued and slept. 
And another wonderful and special month in our lives passed by.

First time this year...

After cleaning the bike, filling the wheels with air and correcting gears it was time to cycle to work. 15 kilometers of freedom, nobody coughing on me in the metro, nobody smelling smoke beside me, just fresh air and a good work-out. Let the cycle season begin!

The first day of spring!

It's something magical with the first day of spring. 15 degrees and a beautiful sun on a blue sky, the world is waking up and we're all amazed by this miracle called spring. We cleaned the yard and our bikes and then Andréa learned how to cycle without her support wheels in less than a minute...


Then we ate lunch outside and continued our cleaning and cleared the trampoline from leaves, branches and dirt and the girls jumped and jumped and jumped!


We're so lucky to live beside a big park that the girls just love. Here they can climb, swing, ride on this funny carousel and waste all their endless energy...



Lovisa summed up the day pretty accurate "this nice day we didn't have in ages", I believe the whole family will sleep well tonight...
