Igar hade vi en riktig myskvall. Vi kollade pa forsta Sagan om Ringen, drack te och at notter och ikea-choklad. Vi har nu massor med space i vardagsrummet och det kanns valdigt oppet och trevligt. Vi ar nojda. En “Efter” bild kommer sa smaningom:)

Yesterday we had a really cozy night. We watched the first Lord of the Rings, drank tea and ate nuts and ikea-chocolate. We now have a lot of space in the living room and it feels very open and nice. We are pleased. An “After” picture will come eventually:)

Mini stage

Idag har vi stadat, tvattat, slangt ut gamla bordet och satt upp det nya. Jag har inte dammsugit an och sangen ska baddas, men innan jag gor det jobbar jag lite. Jim ar pa gymmet och Thor sover, sa jag far tid att fokusera. 
Det ar ibland svart att se vissa saker framfor sig. Aven om man skissar pa papper eller repar i en studio dar man mater ut scen och annat, sa ar det ibland svart att forestalla sig hur det kommer att bli. I kartongen med nya bordet lag nagra bitar som blev perfekta att tejpa ihop och skapa en liten scen/rum av. Nu kan jag enklare leka med olika ideer. 

Today we have been cleaning, done laundry, thrown out the old table and put up the new one. I haven’t vacuumed yet and the bed should be made, but before I do that I work a little. Jim is at the gym and Thor is sleeping, so I get some time to focus. 
It’s sometimes hard to picture some things. Even if you sketch on paper or rehears in a studio where you measure out the stage and other stuff, it is sometimes hard to imagine how things will turn out. In the box with the new table were some pieces that was perfect to tape together and create a little stage/room of. Now I can easily play with different ideas.

Ikvall gick vi till en bar, St George’s Tavern, som oppnade for tre veckor sedan vid korsningen Washington St och Rector St. Vi trodde (precis som alla andra som kom in efter oss) att det skulle vara en vanlig amerikansk bar. Vilken overraskning nar vi sag att menyn hade kinesisk mat. Jag at fried prawns med ris….oh sa gott!! Att sitta i baren och ata med pinnar var lite konstigt, men en bra overraskning da jag gillar san mat. Var bartender var supertrevlig och vi hade en bra kvall. Bra inredning och kul att det var inne i en gammal kyrka. Nu ar vi hemma igen. Vi har tagit med Thor ut pa promenad och snart ar det dags att sova (ja, klockan 11pm pa en lordag, haha). 

Tonight we went to a bar, St George’s Tavern, that opened three weeks ago in the corner of Washington St and Rector St. We thought (just like everyone else that came in after us) that it would be just a normal american bar. What a surprise when we saw that the menu had Chinese food. I ate fried prawns with rice….oh so good!! To sit in the bar eating with chopsticks was a little weird, but a nice surprise since I like that type of food. Our bartender was super nice and we hade a great evening. Good interior and fun that it was inside an old church. Now we are home again. We have taking Thor out for a walk and soon its time to sleep (yes, at 11pm on a Saturday, haha).  

Before

Sahar ser det ut just nu. Sonderbitet bord och mattans alla horn ar helt forstorda. Vi hittade tyvarr ingen matta pa ikea, sa det far vi nog bestalla online. Jag ville aven ha lite ny dekoration, men det fanns inte sa mycket kul av det heller, sa jag tanker ta en liten shoppingtur imorgon. Det ar ju anda lite mer an en manad kvar tills julpyntet ska fram:) 
Den har helgen ska jag stada ut sommaren (buhu 🙁 ) och ta fram infor vintern. Vi har inte en jattegigantisk garderab sa att forvara de olika arstiderna i resvaskor funkar alldeles utmarkt. Sa bikinis ska ner och halsdukar ska upp. 

This is how it looks right now. Chew-damaged table and the rugs all corners is completely destroyed. Unfortunately we didn’t find a rug at ikea, so we might have to order one online. I also wanted some new decoration, but there wasn’t much fun of that either, so I’m thinking that I should go for some shopping tomorrow. It is after all a little more than a month until all the Christmas stuff will come out:)
This weekend I will clean out the summer (buhu 🙁 ) and take out for the winter. We don’t have a super giant wardrobe so to store the different seasons in suitcases works just fine. So bikinis will go down and scarves will come up. 

So simple, a string and a sock

Thor alskar att springa runt med vara strumpor. Ett av hans missions varje morgon ar att hitta strumpor som vi haft pa oss dagen innan. Han alskar aven att bita pa snoren i byxor eller trojor.
Forra gangen jag tvattade mina klader snodde han at sig en strumpa. Det var ett par strumpor som jag anda hade tankt slanga, sa det var okej, han fick leka med den. Forra veckan rakade han dra ut snoret ur mina mjukisbyxor sa jag tankte vi kunde leka en stund med det innan jag satter in det i byxorna igen. Men, vad hande? Jo, jag knot fast strumpan i snoret och det ar nu hans nya favoritleksak. Han tuggar och tuggar pa detta snore och slanger strumpan i luften. Han gar runt hela lagenheten och gor andra saker samtidigt som han tuggar pa snoret. Det ar hans nya “snuttefilt”:)

Thor loves to run around with our socks. One of his missions every morning is to find sock we wore the day before. He also love to bite strings in pants or sweaters. Last time I did laundry he stole one sock. It was a pair of socks that I wanted to throw away anyway, so it was fine, he could play with that. Last week he accidentally dragged the string out of my sweatpants so I thought we could play with it for a little bit before I put it back in the pants. But, what happened? Well, I tied the sock to the string and that is now his favorite toy. He chews and chews on this string and throws the sock in the air. He walks around the apartment and does other stuff at the same time as he chews the string. It is his new “security-blanket”:)
