Even though the main focus of today is football, football and football, we are still trying to keep the advent tradition going. Maybe the present and cookies help draw some attention ;)
Just wanted to wish you all a very Happy 1st Advent and a good week ahead xox
Sometimes, it is hard to work from home: I miss the interactions with my colleagues. I miss the walk into work. I miss my favourite cafe. I miss the festive atmosphere along Ste Catherine street. I miss the vibe of being downtown. I miss face to face teaching.
Looking at the bright side: Today, it is snowing and kind of messy outdoors. Being at home, my lunchbreak includes the chance to sit on my couch for a few minutes, cosy, having a cup of coffee before going back to work again. Oh yeah... did I mention that I am the only one at home at the moment?
Not bad.... 😉
Snow has been falling since mid afternoon. This is now. Here we go again 😉 Bonus about COVID times: I don't have to go out all winter 😉
Hope you all have a great week ahead xox
Yesterday, Alexander turned 16 years old. I really wanted to post a happy birthday blog for him but I was not allowed to take his picture 😉 I tried a few times but the best I ended up with were pictures of the back of his head. Anyway, in lieu of current pictures because I gave up, here are photos from Alexander's first birthday at his daycare in Denmark.
Happy 16th birthday to our first born. We love you!
PS: all these Danish flags were a good way to traumatize his Swedish father 😉 I am sure that Alexander enjoyed that bit 😉
1) At the start of this week, we were wearing snow boots. Today, I had on my sandals :)
2) I am finally taking a break from the non stop watching of American election news. Yes, I was addicted. #nailbiter
3) It hit me the other day... since I am teaching online in the winter semester, I literally can avoid being outside for about 99% of the time. Time to turn up the heat and pretend it is summer ;)
4) I booked an appointment for Alexander to have his grad photos taken. Yes, his GRAD photos! When did that happen?
5) In line with #3, I will have to pick up some Aperol :)
6) Today, I finally sorted all the 5 million socks that I have been avoiding for about 3 years ;) I feel oddly accomplished...
7) I am also addicted to Ferrero Rocher chocolates. They are evil and take no prisoners ;)
8) Also, in line with #3, I may have to keep shaving my legs all winter long ;) #lifeisrough
9) I love drinking coffee at night... it helps me sleep... really.
10) I heard an airplane yesterday. It sounded so strange.
Wishing you all a happy week ahead xox
