In the park

All the neighbours are in the park, a great day for all of us. :)
Klara is trying hard to show her new skills.

And a cow...

Today she took her first real steps. Actually standing up on her own on the floor and then walking three small steps. =)
She also said "mmm" as in "muu" that the cows say, when looking in her book and "hej" perhaps, as in "hi" in Swedish. Big day today!

Time off

We went to Stockholm this weekend to visit Tina and Massimo. I haven't been there since they bought the house, so I felt it was time to check that out too. Boy have they put a lot of work into that house, but wow, so beautiful it was!
Massimo, being a real Italian, made bruschetta and lovely pasta for dinner. Seems like that's the essence of real Italian food, simple but very tasty. We rented some good movies (Transporter 3, Burn after reading and Madagascar 2), ate good food and had lots of fun together.


The hardest part of the trip was leaving Klara at the grandparents for the duration. Strange feeling, knowing we won't see her for two days. Probably, it was harder on us than on her. Feels like I used my camera more for viewing pictures and short clips of Klara, than taking pictures.


A trip out to the archipelago was a must, as I've never been there, and people keep telling me what a beautiful place that is. Unfortunately, the weather was not perfect for this, but we managed to avoid the rain pretty well. Dalarö was a really nice, very small village, with some pretty houses on the beaches.




On Sunday we walked around "Gamla stan", the old town, also a must for any tourist. A must-go restaurant is vapiano, an Italian pasta/pizza restaurant, where they make their own pasta, and prepare everything right before your eyes, and the taste was... mmm. Also, it wasn't expensive compared to other restaurants in the neighbourhood. There's even one in Budapest! :)


When we got home, we both just wanted to have Klara near us, so we did what we every morning after swear never to do again, had her between us for a bad nights sleep. :P After all, we just had two days of relax and fun, sleeping 'til 9am, what a luxury!


Today was really strange. In three days I managed to totally forget everything about Klara's routines, so planning for the day was really stressful. Even more so, since I had to adjust her nap to be able to get to the doctor at 1pm. I guess I'll get back with the program soon enough.

I need a break

Like Bed Beach


Or like Studio, with Axwell...

I really need a fuckin' break.

An awsome evening

Just got home from Big Comedy, a really great show, with very funny stand-up comedians. This event was definitely worth the money spent.
Disappointing (as usual) was Petra Mede, whose material still consists of harassing the public in a bad way, while appearing to be stressed, nervous and unprepared, and that's it. Right after her, the next comedian (PW) showed that it can be done, but in a much smarter and funny way. I had tears running down my cheek, I laughed so hard. We all did.
My favourites tonight were Johan Glans (of course), David Batra (big surprise for me), and Peter Wahlbeck (much better than I remember him). Henrik Schyffert was quite good as well, a bit more raw humor, but he delivered.

Before the show, we ate at Le concert just across the street. That place was overloaded at the time, we had to wait far to long for our starters, and shovel in the food to make it to the show in time. We actually asked the staff, if there were time for a two course dinner, they said yes, but they didn't deliver really. The potatoes were mushy and not tasty. In general, the food was ok, but not asking how you want the meat is not. Not a bad place, but not very recommended, and not on my top list.

Also, at home it's not great either. Klara has had a "medium" fever since yesterday night, when she chose to throw up on me. Quite unpleasant, especially at 02:30. Now she's in our bed again, hope she can sleep better there. Think it's time for me to go to bed too...

Tadaaa

The fence, the flower bed and entrance is done. I did actually move the four big stones at the entrance, 3cm almost, to make it more inline with the pavement outside. Unfortunately, I overdid it a little, but it still is an improvement over the previous status. So tomorrow, I can sit down and relax, and enjoy the view.





I rounded things up today by going to Malmö and buying a used bike, so I can take Klara with me around town more easily. =) Got it for a really good price, so I'm happy about that too.

The problem is, that I don't like starting things at home, big projects like this was, but when I'm done, I'm sort of wondering, ok, what do I do now? Well, perhaps not a problem really, since I do have a wife that has lots of good ideas... :P

PS. OMFG, I barely had time to post this, and she already has something for us to fix next Sunday.... thank you God.
