So random, but we just discovered that the Overwatch World Championship is in Stockholm this weekend, in Älvsjömässan (really close to us)!!

We thought about going to spectate, but the tickets are quite expensive, and it looks really crowded (and we like to sit down), so I don’t think we’ll go. We are following on the stream though, it’s super fun to see some scenic pictures from beautiful Stockholm xD And look at the rewards you get for watching it, so many Swedish references!!!

We started this gem of a tv-series recently, and we’re flying through it. If you haven’t already seen it, DO ET.

In Sweden, we don’t typically celebrate Halloween like, for example, the US does. There are some that decorates with some pumpkins in the windows, and I did have three dressed-up girls knock on our door and say trick or treat (“Bus eller godis”, in Swedish). We do, however, celebrate All Saint’s Eve, which means that we go to our graves and put down candles on our loved, departed friends and relatives, and think of them. And this is how beautiful the graveyard looked the next day by the little church right next to our house in Baldur’s Den:

While we’ve been lying sick, apparently Twitch Drops are out for Space Marines, and has been since Thursday! They are terrible at letting the fans know in advance, but at least Aaron is streaming now, as we speak. Feel free to tune in: twitch.tv/jackal_tenebris.

It was time to assemble the bench/shoe rack we bought at Jysk a while ago. Aaron and my dad (and lots of other people, for that matter) need to sit down to put on their shoes, and we didn’t really had anything to sit on by the hall.

It wasn’t too difficult to assemble. Every Swede is an expert on putting IKEA furniture together, so xD

This is what it looked like before:

And this is after, we are very pleased (and so are the CATS):

Plus, we can fit more shoes now, so win-win. ^^

when I have finished giving feedback and correcting 22 reflective essays in one go (ending at 3am Tuesday night):

Even though I still feel a littly iffy, and Aaron has now caught my cold, we did travel into Stockholm to attend our fancy brunch with bubbly, a Christmas presents from my folks. It was at Hotel Carl, a beautiful place. And the food was soooo good.

It was wonderful, thanks again for the gift, guys! ❤ After brunch, I met up with Tamara and Georgos, and Aaron hung out with Foraz. Hope none of them get sick, we’ve been in bed all day and lazing around, I have to go to work tomorrow no matter how I feel, I can’t be gone more than a week, and my students have exams on Wednesday…

It’s boring to be ill. I’ve been in bed going on five days now, and can’t get anything done. Luckily, Aaron is keeping me company. We have watched about a whole season of X-files (we are on season 6 now), and a lot of good movies (he hadn’t seen any of them before, but he liked them):

If you need a good movie to watch, here you go. You’re welcome. Hope I will feel better for Saturday, when we are going on a fancy brunch 😦
