Gothenburg goes "La France"

Pendaison de crémaillère or Housewarming or Inflyttningsfest, say it in any language you want but the food is French! The wine too! Hope the guests like it!

Secret lover?

I just received a phone call from a florist. They said they had flowers to deliver me and asked if I'm home around 5. I am not but they can leave the flowers in front of the door, I told them.

So now I am wondering who is buying me flowers??? I have never received any and I think it will be difficult to focus on my job this afternoon.

Aaaah so exciting!!!!

Edit 28th of Nov: the flowers were white so I was quite right but they were sent from the real estate agent who sold me the flat. Really nice from Aleksandra but not that exciting any longer... well, well, I won't complain they're really nice!

Ironi

Såg en artikel i Metro igår och där fanns denna foto. Tyckte att den var ganska briljant. Frågan är: såg dem det jag såg?

I fall ni inte ser: det står "skiljas?" och det är en reklam för en advokatbyrå i Göteborg som är specialiserad inom skäiljmässa och liknande familj-tråkigheter... Passar perfekt på en bröllop bild!

Si vous en voulez vous aussi (remarque je dis ca, mais je n'ai pas eu la chance d'y gouter), foncez à Vienne!

Directly from home

Yes yes yes! I'm posting from home!!! Here we go again my friends!

So what's been happening to me lately: as you know I have moved and been trying to fix the new flat. It was a bit slow in my opinion but that's not easy when you don't have a car and when you're working all day. But we're making progress and we're getting there.

Left now:
-put up the bar table
-get the last two stools
-put up the mirror and the hat/scarf shelf in the entrance. (had the machine this week-end but didn't get precise information enough from my colleague so I didn't manage... )
-find the lamp covers for my room and the living room
-And mostly, order and get a couch!

And that's more or less it!

Otherwise nothing much lately: working (blah...), training (yay), going out (super yay)! And of yes! My mum was here 2 weeks ago. It was so nice to have her here! We didn't do much because the weather was terrible but just the fact of spending some time, my mother, my sister and me... that was a blast!!! We went to Tjolöholm castle, south of Gothenburg. Had never been there and it was really nice. Apart from that it feels we just ate the whole time haha!!!

Victoire!

On a internet à la maison!!! Bon ca marche sur l'ordi de Gratianne et pas encore sur le mien, ca n'est qu'internet et pas encore le téléphone mais c'est déjà un progrès!!! Et demain, un gentil chevalier servant vient s'occuper de la montagne de cables au pied de mon lit et des box accrochées à ces cables et qui font une jolie guirlande de Noël. Y a même des ptites loupiotes vertes et même que ca clignote parfois!

Donc voilà, si tout va bien, ce week-end, je n'aurai plus de raison de ne pas écrire assez souvent sur ce blog...

Mes rideaux

J'ai donc de nouveaux rideaux. Violet foncé pour remplacer mes turquoises. J'adore le turquoise et je suis un peu une turquoise-freak: la preuve chaque fois qu'on va en ville avec ma copine Malin (une reine du shopping comme moi) et qu'elle voit quelque chose en turquoise, elle me le montre comme si c'etait fait pour moi.

Mais cette saison, c'est le violet. Le violet à la mode est particulièrement beau et je pourrais tout acheter. Je fais désormais attention car certains jours j'avais mon porte-monnaie, mon sac à main, mes chaussures.... voire meme mes sous-vetements violets!!!



















Mais là, j'étais obligée.... ils sont trop beaux! Meme si la photo est pourrie... Le violet est beaucoup plus vif que cela! Et j'ai pas de fond rose à la con!

Je vais avoir les mêmes dans le salon et dans ma chambre vu que les deux pièces ne seront séparés que par des portes coulissantes afin de pouvoir s'ouvrir et faire une grande pièce pour les soirées ou autre...

Göteborgsvarvet

Jag har anmält mig. Nu är det ingen återvändo. Bara att köpa löpskor och börja springa.

Yeah!

Jag är jättenöjd. Dessutom är det många vänner som har anmält sig också så jag hoppas att vi lyckas träna tillsammans dessa 6 månader.

Men vänta nu? Är jag inte galen? 21km? Ska jag klara det, jag som har sprungit som mest 10km? Ja, det får vi väl fixa.

I can! I want! I will! Just give me some Nike shoes and I'll just do it! ;-)

Improvement

Improvement 1: I am writing once a week instead of once every other week if not once a month... hang in there and I may come back to the rythm I had before of a post once every 2-3 days!

Improvement 2: Actually they are more
- I got a hard drive, need to move the pics and music now... will do that this week-end as it may take hours!
-got rid of all the box in the entrance
-got some reeeeeally nice curtains for my room (will put the same in the living room soon)
-saw some nice bar stools, will try to go and buy them this week-end
-unpacked my shoes so I have more to choose from now. Niiiice!!!

Last week-end I didn't do much because my mum was here (it was soooo nice to have her home!!!) but this week-end, I am expecting another big step.

Home Sweeter and sweeter home

Oh my! Another two weeks... Really need to solve my laptop issues so that I don't give up on Internet every evening... But instead of sitting in front of my laptop I have been quite active and was barely at home. Been training a few times, been wanting to train another times but the schedule didn't work out. Been going out with some friends. Been travelling away one week-end. Been learning Italian. And of course been spending some time on working on my flat.

So far I have:
- electricity: check!
- insurance (even got two until next july): check!
- internet: a temporary mobile one and ordered the definitive one: check!
- home telephone: ordered, check!
- found all the channel on the cable (even the ones we are not paying for!): check!
- put most of my clothes in the cupboards (those that fit at least...): check!
- mounted some furnitures: a bed, a drawer, a bookshelf, a table by the bed
- a washing machine that works and I don't even have to book the time: check!
- some light in my room and the living room (still is the same room): check!

Still need to fix:
- lamps for the lights in my room and the living room
- put a wall so that I don't live in the living room any longer
- a hard drive so that my laptop doens't totally die on me
- put up my bookshelf (the other one is for the living room)
- open some boxes with the radio + cds, the books, the photo albums, etc.
- get rid of the boxes in the entrance
- saw the small shelfs in the bathroom that are a little bit too big
- find a solution for the recycling stuff (right now it's just in the middle of the kitchen...)
- put some blinds and some curtains in my room as well so that my neighbour can't see me sleeping anymore
- empty the last two luggages with clothes (one is half full only with the clothes that need to be ironed actually.... the other ones with big winter pull-overs)
- FIND A SOFFA!!!! The one we had seen and tried to order is not produced any longer so we're back to square one
- put up the bar table and find some bar stools so that we can eat on a proper table instead of on my bed...
- put up the mirror in the entrance
- open the box with my shoes, been living with the same 2 or 3 pairs for a month, can't take it anymore!!

See, there's a few details before I can take pictures and post them here!

Or I can do a before, under and after! :-p
