Week 6

We have known for a week now and decided it was time to tell everyone. It's still early and anything can happen. But it feels like if I break the news, nothing bad can happen. Hehe, lets hope that's the case.

Lunch!

Dutch Poffertjes!

My "new" aquarium!

Later this week I will redo the small aquarium too!

Månkarbo Maran 2010

Saturday was the day of the yearly marathon race at my grandmother's country place. The route always passes on the road outside her large garden so we sit there and cheer for all the contestants! They run past a total of six times before they are finished! A lot of the contestants appreciated our support and waved to us! Some people even came from Järfälla, which is where I live so it was a lot of fun! We even recognized some people from the marathon 2008. Sadly we were all busy last year, 2009 so we couldn't cheer for them then.

I am very impressed with all the people that were running. Old and young, big and small, men and women!

Some men running for Team Skavsåret IF Järfälla.

A Group of people running together.

A lot of people looked and smiled when they saw us cheering.

Some people were waving at us or showing thumbs up!

Old and young people were participating! Some were smiling when they heard us cheering, others were too concentrated at running but I'm sure they appreciated it as well.

Waving back at us, and smiling!

Sweden and the Netherlands

A lot of things has happened the past few weeks. First Toine's parents came over and we went on some fun things. Skansen, a day cruise to Åland and back with Silja Line, went shopping on Stinsen shopping center. Also a trip to Skokloster slott and last but not least, a traditional Kräftfest (crayfish party).

They bought some new fishes for my aquarium as well. Two blue Gurami which I named Eelco and Lesley, after Toines little brother and his girlfriend. And two dwarf Gurami which will be back ups... hehe.

Friday the 30th we went to the Netherlands to visit the rest of the family. I brought with me some gifts from Norway to Eelco and Lesley. Two knives from the arctic circle center, and for Lesley a handmade bracelet from the Sápmi folk (click link to read). The native people of northern Scandinavia. I hope they liked it.

While in the Netherlands we went to see many fun things. A nice park, the Dolphinarium and Burger's Zoo. We also went to my favorite wok restaurant. We decided that next year Toine and I will go by car so we can buy more things and bring it home. We also got a very nice gift from Eelco and Lesley. Some very cool aquarium decorations! Very cool.

We got home last friday and it has been a busy weekend too.
