Three weekends in a row I’ve had my family come visit. First out was my mum and her boyfriend. They had a day of sightseeing in Stockholm while I was at work and then we had one day together at Skansen, a famous park here in the city. The weather wasn’t exactly at its best but we did at least manage to avoid the rain. There was a food market at Sergels these days with food from all over the world and I was happy to speak french with some sales men. Having my mum and her boyfriend here meant having access to a car that could fit a sofa in the back so one night me and Jan went out and purchased one for me and it made such a difference! Suddenly it felt more like an apartment and not just a student dorm.
The weekend following the visit of my mum it was time for my youngest brother and his wife to spend some days in Stockholm. They could not have picked a better weekend to come, the sun was shining and it was around 25 degrees at least! So nice! We spent all saturday strolling in the city and in the evening I had a party at my place which turned out quite the success. Sunday was about as relaxed as saturday had been and then they returned back to the west coast.
Last weekend my dad and his wife were here with me and that also turned out a very cosy weekend, even if it was once again a little bit too cold and grey. We went to IKEA both friday night and saturday morning and got stuff for my apartment which my dad then spent some time putting together saturday evening. During the day we had lunch in the city with my cousin before walking through the old city having ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s. Bought thai food here outside my house and ate in front of the tv watching the qualification game for the world cup between Denmark and Sweden. Unfortunately it was a game we lost. I must say that it was pretty fun to walk around the city centre of the swedish capital on our national holiday seeing more Danes than Swedes!
