A day in the life
::: probably the best Helenis in the world

Very slow packing

By Sköna Helena




Ok.... Packing..... Focus.... Just got home from Zacke. He treated me to a gourmet dinner and nice wine and deep discussions as always. I guess I need to start packing seiously now. Passport - magazines - running shoes...

Apparently parts of Finnair is on strike. Jippie.

Three months after that day. And time to say goodbye. This is not right.

A brand new car?

By Sköna Helena




Just picked up Hjalmar from MrCap after a Master Treatment. Can't believe how brightly shining a car can get! The interior is like new and the lacquer is perfect like the surface of a frozen lake. Thanks J for the super-duper discount.

@ MrCap

By Sköna Helena


Some people are lucky. The owner (Jon Olsson) of this Lambo Murcielago has been using it with his ski box - crazy!!! He also owns a Gallardo. Well...
 


The day after the first of Advent

By Sköna Helena
And Vasastan is decorated but lonely.

Would you like some bread with your salad?

By Sköna Helena
That's 15x15x25 cm of heavy white bread, friends... Takeout from Stazione. Movie night with my brother. Le Grand Bleu.

 


Spooky...

By Sköna Helena

I thought my windows were just dirty. But when I got outside I realized that St Eriksplan is wrapped in a thick fog. Cozy. But I want snow now!

Talking about dirty windows. Or, dirty cars more like it.... How dirty can a car get???!?!! Thanks god I have an appointment for a Master Treatment at Mr Cap on Tuesday!


 


A lonely first of Advent

By Sköna Helena

I'm not good at this 'being alone' thing... There is something terribly wrong with someone like me to celebrate the first of Advent alone. Should have stayed at A's for ginger snap breakfast with U and Z. (Haha, I guess I can blame all these weird new Svensson urges on Air China for treating me to a near-death experience last time I flew to Shanghai. ;))

But no time to dwell on the Svensson subject and no time to be "efterklok". And definitely no time to blog anymore since I soon have to present myself at Stora Mossen IP for interval training with Seb.

Challenge 1: find my running clothes in that 'filled to the limit with everything that was on my bedroom floor' wardrobe of mine.

Challenge 2: live through an hour if interval running after three weeks of immobility and stress. Wish me luck!

But hey, the sun I shining!
 


Decorate the cat

Poor Flempa. But this is what happens after the perfect Svensson dinner, Ice Age 3, julmust and cute kids.

 


Trosa!

By Sköna Helena

We thought we were going to Nyköping but all of a sudden realized we were in Nynäshamn. We went to the end of the road and found the most deserted little Christmas market and had coffee and lussebullar. Then we drove to Trosa for lunch. Time to head home to A.
 


Mom and Dad, I don't think you need to buy any glögg this Christmas...

By Sköna Helena

Just before leaving the office yesterday to prepare for the glögg premiere a reminder to send in my Monthly Business Report popped up on my screen... So I was very delayed when I finally arrived at Systembolaget. And yeah, I admit I might have over-estimated the number of bottles needed when hastily avoiding all choices by simply purhasing one of each type. Add what people brought and I have about 12 bottles left for Christmas.

Off to H for a mini roadtrip to any given håla at about a two hour distance from our lovely capital. The plan is lunch and then back again.

And yeaahaay, I finally found a Bloggger app for my new toy.

Thanks, dear friends who came by yesterday. I love you!

Pre-glögg première cleaning according to Helena

By Sköna Helena

Having some friends over for glögg première tomorrow (Christmas fascist as I am...). Haven't had aaaany time to neither purchase the glögg + snacks nor clean. Just got home from Thursday pea soup and pancakes @ A's (thanks dearest friend). He said something very wise: "Why don't you clean the way you had done it the first time I saw your place? I.e. throw everything into the wardrobe?"

So, why not? :) I need sleep more than I need an organized wardrobe. A pragmatic approach.
 


So this is where the elevator goes?

By Sköna Helena

(yes, that is a hole in the stair)

Oh, how I wish all construction workers would seize to exist - at least the subset that is in my vicinity. The project of building apts in the attic has woken me up for two months now, and I think we have another half year to go.

Now the elevator job starts. They are gonna drill a hole through each floor and somehow fit an elevator in that tiny staircase... So if you think I was bothered by construction workers looking into my kitchen in the morning, now I will have to not only wake up to the lift right outside my window making a terrible noise but also the sound of drilling a whole big enough to fit an elevator. And, what about the dust from all this?

Ok, I admit being negative. But you would be too...
 


But how?

By Sköna Helena

It would be nice to have a simple Svensson life for a change. I need a vacation...
