Me in the paper..again!

Yeah, you have probably started wondering if Helsingborg doesn't have anyone else to write about?! :) But this is the third time since I moved here that I'm in the newspaper. The first time was in the school paper. The second in City Helsingborg. And now the newest one is from last Sunday in Helsingborgs Dagblad about Fathers Day. They asked me and my friend last Wednesday when we were at Ikea.

Here is the link (in Swedish).

A visit from Denmark

During the last couple of days, Sarah from Denmark has been visiting me and Charlie. Here are some pictures:

The first evening we made our own sushi. Some with avocado, mango, cucumber, crabfish, cream cheese and chili mayo (no, not everything together..).

The next day we went to Ikea and Väla, for some shopping. I got another box for my nail polishes since the one I'm having can't fit everyone anymore.. (separate post). I also got something exciting as gift wrap for Christmas. At Väla I got a pair of gloves, gray knitted from H&M with fleece inside, since it's starting to get really cold here!

Today we went for a fika at Ebbas Fik, before Sarah took the ferry back to Denmark again. At Ebbas everything is from the 50ies and 60ies and all the cakes and cookies are home made. I got a chocolate cake with whipped cream and a coffee, and Sarah a gigant cookie and hot chocolate.

Us.

Blondes have more fun ;)

Swedish weekend in Barcelona

The Long Friday turned into a Good Friday! For lunch yesterday, we went to the newly opened Swedish restaurant called Pappa Sven, where we got some gravad lax (salmon) and then I had köttbullar (swedish meatballs) and Kasper chicken with potatisgratäng (creamed potatoes). So that made it feel a bit more like Easter. Not that we eat meatballs during Easter.. but salmon!

We then headed into Barrio Gotico to see the processions. We caught the one going from Macarena church, and saw it both at the start and at La Rambla. There were the people who look like KKK, the ladies who sang "lamination-songs" and the men who carried the superheavy floats.

As you can see, today we have no clouds, sun and around 18-20deg! This morning we went to IKEA to see if they got some easter decorations. They didn't. But at least now we got pillows to the chairs at the balcony, a tray with birds on and some other necessaries. We also got some sill (swedish fish), candy, chocolate, chips and räkost (hm, like cream cheese with shrimps). Now we just had lunch, see the eggs (and the bird-tray):

So the weekend turned out quite well after all :) Both Swedish restaurant, food and store, mixed with some Spanish traditions and weather; me like!

Now I am going to the beach to meet my dear friend Manasa!
