my weekend

I haven't posted anything in ages, that is not like me, but I haven't really had time. I have been busy doing nothing. As you can see in the photos this weekend I have just been eating and drinking good, been out with friends and watched a lot of movies. I guess just like a weekend should be. Now time for another movie and another bowl of popcorn. Everything else can wait.

11 cold degrees

old pic taken in Egypt, 2006

Why is it so cold again? and grey? it's 11 degrees out there. That can't be normal for this time of the year? Give me some sun before I get depressed. I mean it.

the best hangover food

The best food to eat after a night out is pizza. A nice crusty pizza with a large ice cold coke with a slice of lemon. Nothing beats that! But no more large pizzas for a while, in two weeks i'm off on holiday and I want to look good on the beach, so soon back on to doing early walks in the morning and yoga in the evening. Yeah, well I won't say too much, we'll see how that goes.

Birthday drinks

Last night we went out for drinks to celebrate my friend Rachaels birthday. We drank a lot of lovely cocktails. And today I can feel it. The pictures are a bit blurry, but that's ok, because then you know it was a good night.

Nostalgic

The nature is so beautiful at the moment. There is one flower in particular that makes make extremely happy and sentimental. It reminds me of my childhood, graduation time, Swedish summer and children's parties. In Swedish it's called Syren. They grow wild and in different shades of purple and white, and it smells amazing. In Sweden this time of year you can find it everywhere but here I have noticed that it's not that common as it is back home. That's why I had to go to the park and steal some. Well I got some help doing it. And now I'm sitting here in my kitchen enjoying the most beautiful purple bouquet.

blooming

You might wonder what this is? Yesterday I bought this 'flowering' tea. It's a small bundle of dried green tea leaves and flowers and when put in a cup of hot water for about 4 minutes it expands to a blomming flower. Pretty cool. The tea itself might not be the most tasty, quite mild. But I would try it again, maybe with different flower. If you like your teas, try it.

lilac nails and print bikini.

Today I bought this colourful print bikini from Monsoon. First time shopping in there actually. Good price too. £28. And I also found this nice nailpolish from Essie called 'Lilacism'. Ok summer. I'm ready. Come on.

my saturday night dinner

I'm not sure why my blog suddenly is becoming 70% about food. But I love food. And I love to take photos of it. And afterwards I look back at them and think, mmmmm that was goooood..

one pathetic baguette left

I mean, this is sad. Why does Waitrose always look like this on a saturday night? There is nothing nice left!! And then they open 11 am on Sunday, that's shit. So I went for a sushi instead. Much better.

last night friday.

Had the first jug of Pimms this year. It was absolutely freezing outside. But we were determined, drinking Pimms must be done outside. Good night though. Even if I was back home at 21.30. This weekend I'm gonna sleep, and catch up on about 20 hours of sleep.

a little bit.

In my kitchen

I have been sitting here in my kitchen for about an hour now, thinking. Admiring my new shoes from Lux. Eating my dinner that consisted of I don't really remember what. Really tired today. I think I'm gonna make myself some tea and read a book, maybe a Swedish one. Then have a long bath with my new oils. Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

wednesday dinner

Todays dinner: Salad with tomatoes, cucumber, roasted peppers, goat cheese, roasted walnuts and a honey dressing. And on the side, falafel. Nice.

summer around the corner

Love these spring, pre summer evenings out! I've got a feeling that this is gonna be a really great summer.

Tuesday morning

Thanks Kelvin for the cd's. They have been playing all morning. If you haven't heard The Heavy yet, you should. They are good. Really good.
