Goodbyes and new acquaintances

The past few days have been lots of ups and downs... On Wednesday we said goodbye to my granddad Sune (my farfar) and he was the last of my grandparents that passed. Feels really weird that my mum now is the oldest generation coz that must mean that I'm getting older as well... Anyway, it was a nice funeral service at Hovs church and he got some really beautiful flowers. I had made the wreath that was from us, ie mum, my sister and I and my sisters kids and it's these gorgeous Avalanche roses with purple limonium and ivy.

I inherited granddad's chairs and yesterday they got a little makeover from blue stripes to green abstract :) Finally got rid of the boyfriends old chairs that fell apart when you sat on them and these chairs are just so much better!

And then I went off to Shoe Me Gold in Höganäs to get these adorable blue Brako boots! I was so set on the black ones without lace but they didn't fit my ancles so I had to give up on them :( the shop girl asked if I didn't wanna try the blue ones on instead and I sort of fell in love :D Really comfy and just so pretty!

And today I met up with an old friend from school. We've been friends since we were 8 years old or so but some years ago she moved to Malmö to study and sort of got stuck there, now with boyfriend, baby and house :) we hadn't seen each other for about 4 years so we figured it was time. Always fun to meet old friends.

Birdies and seeds

Birds come and visit our garden, and I love watching them by the bird feeder. And the colourful sia birds in the window are just such a treat for the eye! Just missing an orange one and I have the whole set :)
And today I put my five wisteria seeds in some damp paper in a plastic bag, all according to instructions, and hopefully in a few weeks there will be something sprouting *fingers crossed*!

Saturday off

Having worked last weekend it was nice to have a Saturday at home with my älskling just spending time together. I made some breakfast buns, we went for a walk down to the beach to see the damage that the storm the other day had made. The steep sloaps down to the beach were steeper than before and I can imagine that both wind and water have been pretty  high during the storm. We also paid a visit to the new big thing happening here in the village, a gym which will open just about 100m from our house. I'm not really a big fan of gyms but I really should go and since work pays for half the fee I have no excuse not to go :P so we went home and bought two memberships, so here we go! :)
Also made a gingerbread house (correction: we put together one that we bought) and watched a good film in the evening, a great end to a very ordinary and good Saturday :) 

Ullared trip and beachlife, it was a busy weekend!

The boyfriend and I drove to Ullared on Friday afternoon after he finished work to go shopping at Gekås. We thought since it was Friday afternoon there would not be that many people there, but boy were we wrong :P But at least we got almost all the stuff we were after + some xmas gifts and other nick nacks we came across.

On Saturday my sister and her kids came for a visit since they had not seen the house since this summer when it was all just a building site. My sis showed me this funny grocery list that Agnes had written :) In all fairness, it was Saturday and that is officially "candy day" but 2 kg's might be abit too much, even for my niece. 

The boyfriend and nephew played some videogames :) 

We stopped for pizza since we just happened  to pass the pizza place, what a coincidence ;)

An evening walk in the setting sun (with my stupid camera being an arse with these stupid lines :P) 

sunglasses in mid October - we like!

the cats climbing pole broke (the top fell off for good this time) and this is one sad kitty cat. But imagine the joy when I got them a new one in Ullared!! 

they can't believe their eyes! ;)

and now my precious is also living with us :) All is going well now!

What's been going on lately?

We went to Landskrona and bought this great used pull-out sofa I found online. It weighed a ton but we got it from the trailer to inside the house with some willpower!

The boboyfriend went for his first swim in the ocan for the year (that's him on the bridge!) 

pretty rosehip flower on the beach 

And bbq for dinner *yummy*

A beginning of a wall is up between the bathroom and guest toilet! Yay!! 

Went to celebrate my nephews birthday and met some new family members, Leah (on the photo) and her brother Leo *meow*

bedroom celiling is painted white
