Bad blogger

Soooo... I know, it's been a while. I don't know where to start. I guess I just give you the latest news up to date and then add on whatever I missed later on. First, none of this would be possible if I hadn't moved in to my new apartment in Gothenburg. Or if I didn't have Internet. Now, I do. I made the choice of ordering wireless 4G. I think that was the smartest thing to choose since this is a ComHem house. I'm not a big fan of ComHem, their internet services are way over-priced and too many complaints of services interrupted. But their TV ads are fun. How ever, the one thing I'm most excited about right now is the fact that I got my hands on one of the best digital cameras ever! No, Not a Leica M8. Way to pricey. But the runner up: the Ricoh GRII.

I'm super-excited! I still like my analogue cameras but to be honest, digital cameras are a bit more handy. What am I doing sitting inside? The sun is shining. Peace out!

Too girly?

For once, I have the possibility to do something with my walls in my own apartment! For years and years now, it's been a thing to use wallpaper on just one wall. And now, I want this:



I was thinking this would look nice in my bedroom, all other things crispy white! What do you think?

Getting real

Just like when I accepted the offer of a new job in a new town, I got that same feeling of "What have I done?!?" in my stomach yesterday. Since the new year I've been living in the company's apartment, sharing a two bedroom apartment with another newly employed at F&B. Half-hearted I've been looking thru housing, trying to sort out three-way contract swopping but yesterday reality struck.
A couple of weeks ago a girl from Stockholm took a look at my apartment in Malmö, I visited an apartment in Gothenburg and yesterday, the couple from Gbg fell in love with the Stockholm apartment. So I guess I'll be moving! And that is when it hit me! I'm leaving Malmö! I'm leaving a 20 minutes walk to my beloved family and replacing busses and trains for trams.



I actually think this is my house, I'm not sure.... It was dark when I saw it. But the layout is the same, two entrances, all the windows in the corner...

All I wanted...

All I wanted for Christmas was snow. I know that sounds a bit wierd since I'm sure I complained a lot last year (and the year before). The last two winters had been the coldest and snowiest since the 1940'ies. Now the temperature has not been lower than 2°C. That's not even winter. And maybe because of the mild weather I battled tonsillitis and won (with the help of modern medicine) and all I have now is a snivel and a small cough.
I also wanted to spent time with my family. And that I got to do. I also got to spent extra time with Iris when her dad had to work. We went ice skating in the park (no skates for me).
Christmas was great. I got a gift card from a camera store and I ordered a camera I wanted for a long time but due to a glitch in the system I ordered one that didn't exist and out of stock. These cameras are hard to come by. Now I have to track down a used one.
What else happened... Well, a day into the new year, my freezer gave up but thanks to the best super ever I got a new one the following day, saving my boar steaks and other deliciousness.
Now I'm just enjoying the last days off work before returning to Gothenburg on Monday.

30 days

I've been at my new work place for almost a month now. I really like it here. My new colleagues are great, my new city is great. Hence the bad blog updating. I've slept like a baby almost every night, trying to sort all the new impressions in the correct folder in my mind. But this week I've been feeling a bit homesick, I think it's just because Christmas is upon us. I haven't done any x-mas shopping but I'm okay with that. Tomorrow I have a day off so I'll be one of those mad-eyed last minute shoppers out there.

The boot pt 2

After posting my last post, I got a text from Mum saying "Don't buy the boot! You have other things to focus on!". And she's right. I do have other stuff to focus on right now. Mums are very good at that kind of thing. Especially mine. Getting me grounded again and thinking of the more practical things. I already have 63 pairs of shoes at home (but no really good boot btw). I tried to auction some off but people are strange. The few bids I got was on the most worn down and cheapest ones. Nothing on the brand new, never used, still in the box-ones. Last weekend we also cleared out my closet, 3 big, black plastic bags. And I have to keep that up. I need to streamline my stuff anyway...

Give me the boot!

I'm seriously digging on these boots right now! It's a pair of ACNEs and they will set me back way too much if I actually do buy them. Just let me drool a bit longer.
