Looking out my window it is hard to imagine it being the middle of june. It’s gray, windy and rainy which makes it more natural to think that it’s in the middle of october rather than the weekend before midsummer. The only good thing about the weather is that my allergy is kept at a distance.
I was expecting to have a friend here for the weekend but she cancelled on me last minute so after weeks of various visits I suddenly found myself stranded. Being new in a city the security net for situations like this is not that well developed. Especially not when the weekend alone coincides with my cousin having her grand mother here, Alex having his parents visiting and Linus working on his final thesis.
However, friday night I had dinner with my cousin and her grand mother at a restaurant called Italiano, situated at Nybrogatan. We had dinner there at my cousin’s birthday too and I remembered the food to be very tasty but I have to say that I was a bit disappointed this time. It was pretty tasteless really. The chocolate cake I had for dessert was NOT tasteless though, it was yummie! Got back home pretty early and had time to do the laundry before going to bed. What kind of a friday night is that for a single girl in a big city..!?
Saturday was walking day. Did some exploring on Söder Mälarstrand and walked down to Medborgarplatsen before heading back home to watch a movie. In the evening I went out for dinner with Linus who had taken some time off from his thesis with the words “I have to eat either way so might as well do it together”. After dinner I met up with Alex at a friend of his for a relaxed house warming party. Got home around 2.30 after a very nice evening!
Today I started with breakfast in bed in front of the tv and with my lap top in my knee. After a couple of hours in that position I put on my running gear and did 10k in pouring rain. Coming back from that I had a shower and then curled up in bed watching a movie, and I think that’s about all I will do for the rest of this rainy day too. Kind of nice actually.
