Week 13: Astro is getting old

I didn't write my weeknote last week as I was in Italy with my family, but I'm here now, two weeks later and two kilos heavier happier. Rome was amazing! It was our mothers' first time in Italy and ex...

Back from Rome with my mom and mother-in-law! Their first time in Italy, rightfully enjoyed with a little sightseeing, a good amount of pasta, some aperol, a ton of pizza, and a lot of wine. Didn't write any weeknotes this week, will get back on track next Monday :)

Recipe: Rรถdvinsรฅs

Aaah, Swedish red wine sauce... Poured over oxfilรฉ, potato gratin, or just eaten by the spoonful... So delicious. Original recipe by Karl, I made tiny changes to use ingredients easily available to me...

Week 11: Driving theory

We started the week by taking our mothers to Aras de los Olmos, to drink coffee and snack on sandwiches and cookies under the core of our beautiful galaxy, Via Lactea. ๐ŸŒŒ I took a day off from work to...

Best Sunday ever

playing PSVR2

Best Sunday ever, laughing and sweating and taking turns playing RAGNAROK VR2 with my husband, my mom and my mother-in-law!!! ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿค˜

Today I took my driving theory test and I PASSED! ๐Ÿš— I got my license 20+ years ago, but because of fear, never really drove. Now I'm 41 and finally ready to get over this. I want to take my dogs to nice places, to take turns driving on road trips, to visit the plant store on a whim!

Week 10: My birthday

This week I turned 41. I'm pretty happy with how everything is, love is good, home is good, career-wise could be a little better but I'm working on it; health-wise all good, apart from a rotator cuff...
