Day off

May 1st is a national holiday here in Sweden so I, and everyone else in the country, had the day off! It was so nice and just what I needed. Me and Noomi slept in until noon and then we had breakfast out on the balcony in the sun with Whitney Houston’s best songs blasting through the speakers. People who don’t live somewhere where the sun hardly shins at all and where it’s been super cold for the past 6 months won’t ever understand the feeling of being able to go outside without a jacket for the first time, or seeing the flowers and trees in bloom! Your whole life changes when this happens! I’ve been in the best mood all day just because I was able to wake up and sit out in the sun in just a t-shirt!

After our breakfast (Lina would call it lunch, since that’s what she was making at the same time since it was 12:30…) I went for a 8 km walk around the lake that’s right by our house and it was so so so nice! Everything is turning green again, kids are out playing basketball and riding their bikes and the water is not frozen anymore. And for the rest of the day I’ve been baking and making food. So yupp, that was my perfect day off! Tomorrow it’s going to be even warmer and sunnier and I’m off work at noon, so obviously I am going to be eating lunch outside in the city by the castle or in some park. How I love my perfect city in the spring and summer!
