family fika

on saturday I had planned an art gallery outing with my mum. Before we went there she and my dad and my niece and nephew hung out at our place a bit for a fika.

then fika! 

then my dad (and her grandpa) stopped playing. no fun no more!

we found a couple of photo albums from when my parents were kids. 

tyra asked what a photo album was, and i realized that photo albums is something that's disappearing. but they're so nice, who really has the time to look from a zillion files on a hard drive? I have to start making ones. 

then we went to the art hall in the marabou park, followed by seafood lunch at the adjoining restaurant. it's the same place as we had coffee at last week. seems to become quite a tradition. I like it! 

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.

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. 

cookie banking

every month a bunch of us meets up for a "cookie bank", where we combine two of our favorite activities: eating cookies and helping people. read more about cookie banks at kakbank.se and about microloans at kiva.org
