So, I checked out the 365 Project website and decided that it’s so easy to upload photos there that I will do that as well. But I still want to post my photos here, firstly as a record of the year and secondly, so that I can write a little more about what we’ve been up.

The past few days have been about the long weekend: Epiphany is a public holiday here in Sweden (although there is no specific celebration for it and most of the shops are open) and the Thursday before is a half day. So, Husband took Thursday off work and has been enjoying a four-day weekend (well, almost – he always heads into the office for a few hours on Sundays anyway) and I finished up work at lunchtime on Thursday and am now on maternity leave. I don’t think I’ll realise how strange it will feel again until sometime halfway through next week.

We’ve celebrated the long weekend with walks in the park, trips to the playground, brunch with friends and, for me, some big-time sales shopping!

This will probably constitute the only piece of relationship advice you’ll hear from me: if in doubt, choose the clean freak! Yes, Husband’s obsession with cleaning can be annoying from time to time, but the major plus is that by the time I have thought “Oh, it looks a little messy around here”, he has the vacuum cleaner out and is dusting the skirting boards.

Hello, belly! Putting my feet up after a morning spent (well, actually I only managed an hour) of sales shopping.

“Cars, cars, bilar (the Swedish for cars), bilar, cars” – that’s what I’m hearing hour after hour at the moment. Cars are the new thing, followed closely by “choo choos” (trains, sadly, and not Jimmy Choos…).
