nov 13th - christmas

So, on to christmas. since we're in Ghana over christmas my family thought we needed to celebrate it a bit early this year. So almost all of us gathered at my aunt's place last saturday, for a full day of puzzles, wine and home cooked chinese food. just my kind of christmas.

we went all in for the REAL christmas feel. 

food preparations

dads home made spring rolls are AMAZING.

puzzle! a completely impossible on - monet (he must have been almost completely blind about then...)

peter reading away on his beloved kindle.

dad posing in his apron. he started dancing after that, but unfortunately all the pictures are blurry... 

svante. 

and that was that. the rest of the evening we had loads of food + talked. quite early we got too tired and crawled to bed. when we finally woke up this awaited us:

breakfast, as it should be!

a royal scottish visit

this weekend we got a long overdue visit from our glorious scots:

suz and fran 

friday. 

we met up on friday afternoon after work

peter had just bought a kindle. he just had to show it off. 

after a beer at the smallest bar in sundbyberg, we went to a tapas place. awesome food, but dark! 

after that we were off to bishops arms for a beer. suz had a small one, mine was somewhat larger.

saturday.

peter and fran went and got bread from the local baker's

later in the day we went for a walk.

where we had a fika at the new restaurant

fran

then we walked back, made dinner and some absinth milkshakes. 

the cat felt excluded

 

suz

then we were too tired to do anything, watched some family guy and went to bed. 

they left early this morning. now they're back in edinburgh. we've spent the day reading books, petting cats and tried to tidy up the flat. 

friday evening, saturday morning

we haven't posted anything lately, hopefully we'll start again... it all boils down to time, it always does unfortunately. 

yesterday evening i went to a birthday party. 

hence, this morning i woke up tired and decided to go for some freshly made bread from the local bakers. 
even though peter's gone i got some good company
