Even though we’ve had some absolutely lovely, warm Summer days in September, it feels like the Autumn has officially begun, and I’ve been back at work for three weeks already. We’ve had a great Summer, the first one in our new house. We’ve taken three trips (one being a cruise), gone on lots and fun adventures, eaten lots of nice food, bathed (both in the Gise lake, and it our two paddling pools we put up on the back porch, GENIUS), watched tons of good movies and tv-series, and streamed/gamed a lot. It’s been great! Here are some highlights:
In the beginning of Summer, I and Aaron went to my sister’s Burlesque Club with my two best friends, Tamara and Georgos. So strange that I’ve known the latter for over 10 years, and he’s NEVER been to one before.
The theme was “Under the Sea”, so we dressed up as a Mermaid and a Merman. The body paint took aaaages to apply, and it didn’t really cover us well either. But fuck it, we had a great time! 🙂
Last of June was the last day we had access to the flat, so we had to rent a huge van and move the last of the stuff. I moved in there in the Autumn of 2015, so it’s a long time. And Aaron and I have lived there for two years, on and off. It was definitely a bit sad to leave, and see the place for the last time.
Aaron had never driven a van before, but he did GREAT ❤
It was a good neighbourhood, I’m gonna miss it ❤
It was intense, only having the van for 3 hours. We unloaded in the garage to make it back in time, and we had to drive for 140 km, but we made it there with 5 minutes to spare. That night, we were TI. RED.
Midsummer was nice, celebrating out in the country house with good food, like usual.
I go with mum and dad every year, and this Summer, Aaron finally came, too, to the Ice Cream Buffet at Skansholmen. I love it there, it’s beautiful (and TASTY).
We like to go on a cruise once in a while, to get some cheap Taxfree booze and cigarettes, and of course to have great food (best buffet in the world, with unlimited beer/wine/cider for two hours) and an awesome time!
Mum and dad showed us an epic little café (that you have to go to by BOAT, making it even epicar! (yes, I turned that into a comparative adjective, deal with it)), Eldtomta Café and Shop.
So incredibly snug and homie! Just someone’s house, turned into an epic restaurant, with a stage in the back garden, for concerts during the Summer!
The place is decorated so wonderfully, with lots of old pictures and furniture.
The food (jacket potatoes with the Swedish “skagenröra”) was amazing.
When Aaron and I have the car next, we will definitely go there!
Every Thursday all Summer, there are Veteran Car meetups in Trosa (10 minutes from us). We went to one of them this year, and it did not disappoint.
It’s been a great Summer.
Our plans for the Autumn is to watch “Homeland” and “Game of Thrones” (again), play “A Plague’s Tale”, unpack all our boxes and get the house in order, put up some nice wallpapers in the front room, and (hopefully) start swimming.
