Dinner at Lucy's

Cecilia is visiting from London over the new years weekend and we went for dinner at Lucy's yesterday, it has been a while since we caught up properly so it was brilliant to get some quality time together! Enjoyed a lovely meal and one too many Espresso martinis.

The girl with the dragon tattoo

Went to see the American version last week...As expected not even close to as good as the Swedish one but worth a watch. All the American actors have put on a 'Swedish' accent, although they all sound like Russian spies!Fail!

Time to prepare for the New Years eve celebrations!

Time flies when you're having fun!

I can't believe that we've only got 4 days left until Sweden until the plane takes us back to the UK again. Time always goes so quickly when we're here. So far I've had a great time! Started of with some quality time with Mattias in Gothenburg on Saturday - had lunch and went shopping, had a brilliant weekend with mum and dad, went to Spiken's Christmas market, Christmas concert at Dalängskolan, lunch and fika with dear friends, shopping in Skövde, breakfast with the Spjut family and we have obviously managed to squeeze in a Swedish pizza as well! More pictures are on their way...

What a night! What a brilliant night!

All the Swenglish food went down as a treat, everyone loved the Christmas present game and we all had an amazing time together! We are definitely making this an annual tradition!

Thanks to all our amazing friends for joining us and making the Swenglish Christmas dinner a success!

Is it Sunday night already?

Busy week, busy weekend and it's already Sunday night again...I've got that horrible Sunday feeling, dreading to go back to work after having yet another brilliant weekend! We spent Friday evening making a playlist for our Christmas dinner, ate a lovely dinner and just chilled out. Saturday was very productive, started of the day with some Christmas shopping in town, the rest of Brighton must have had the same thought as us, it was packed everywhere! Had lunch in the festive stols by Churchill Square and
In the afternoon we went to All Saints Church for to watch a Swedish Lucia performance.
What was supposed to be a quite night turned into a fulfilled, brilliant evening with kareoke at 9 rooms and a boogie to 80's hits at the Haunt!
Today we have rolled 500 billion meatballs and de-frosted the fridge and now we're getting ready to get quizical with Clare and Craig at the Connaught!

Started of the week with Sushi at Moshi Moshi with Valle and Johanna.

Handmade place cards for the Christmas dinner and our lovely Friday night dinner 

500 billion meatballs and Bratwurst and Crepe lunch in town

Kareoke at 9 rooms with Inka, James and their friends from Essex.

Girls' day in London

We started of our day in London at Winter Wonderland in Hyde park, looked in all the stols, got ideas for christmas decorations, tried different food and were amazed by all the rides. Even if it was 15 degrees and sunny I got a bit of a christmas feeling when we were walking around in there. Headed towards Convent Gardens and had lunch at Wahaca, Mexican tapas and Spanish wine is always a good combination. We were chatting away as we always do and completely forgot about time! All of a sudden it was over 4pm and we had to run towards Leicester Square and the Prince of Albert theatre. Even if I have seen the Mamma Mia musical several times before it was amazing and I think both Valle and me loved every minute of it! Headed back to Brighton where Costa and Dave prepared dinner and Moijitos for us! A perfect ending to a lovely day!

4 days week, oh yes!

The work week is finally over! It feels like I've worked 10 days not 4...Luckily I can forget everything about emails, spreadsheets, applications, meetings and conference calls until Monday. Got yet another fun filled weekend infront of me, starting with a girls' day in London tomorrow! Me and Valle are heading to Winter Wonderland, doing some shopping, having some nice lunch and last but not least we're seeing Mamma Mia! Can't think of a better day to spend my Friday. If we're lucky, Costa and Dave will have dinner ready when we get back:).

Nybakta kanelbullar och mjölk!

For some reason I felt like baking when I got home today, this happens very rarely, so rarely that I cannot remember the last time I baked, anyhow, I decided to make cinnamon buns. They're well tasty! Especially with a glass of cold milk. Costa is in for a treat when he gets back!

A nightmare in Rottingdean

Steph and Yvette hosted a great party on Saturday night! The whole house, literally the whole house, was decorated, lovely food, good entertainment, dancing, fireworks, drinks and bonfire. We couldn't have asked for much more to be honest. As you can see below Lady of hearts, Zorro, Spiderqueen, the Joker and many more were invited. We were swinging our ABBA hips in Rottingdean 'til about 6am when we headed back home.
