The nice summer weather is back.. It has been warm and sunny all weekend.. Our balcony feels like a balcony in the Mediterranean, it is great!! The warm weather gives me a great excuse to consume ice creams in all flavors, colors and shapes..

I am ready for vacation 2012... I found this drawing which I made from a beach chair at Lyttersta beach a few years ago. The feeling comes right back to me. The sun is warming good when not hiding behind the clouds Warm clear water A good book and a sketch block The great noises from people when they are enjoying the summer and their picnic.. Take me there!!

Monday and a new week has just begun.. Our weekend was relaxing Saturday we check out another beer festival before enjoying a great dinner with long discussions. Long walk in heavy rain on Sunday followed by relaxing time in the sofa.. Recharged batteries ready for this weeks challenges..

Team Nikolovski has a little mascot, Freddie. Freddie is a little ant looking figure. Happy is Freddies constant mood. What ever weather or day it is he is always happy. He is hanging on the wall and is sometimes jumping up and down just for fun.. Freddie doesn't worry about things. First I thought I would write that we can all learn something from Freddie, but then I realised that is a little stupid.. I mean what to learn, to be a little more wooden and in the same mood all the time?! That's for mascots and not for humans... We humans has a wide variety of different moods and we do worry sometimes.. That's what makes us more interesting...

My little sister Sofie has taken studenten and I remember I had a picture of her to share. It was 11 years ago I finished high school, time is flying but at the same time feels like ages ago.. Difference from now and then ?! The shoes they are wearing these days, my god... Looks like big bricks.. Dresses are a little fancier and shorter. Long hair seems to be a must. Apart from this same same pretty much, excited to move on to a next stage in life.

Team Nikolovski headed over to Stockholm on Friday to celebrate little sisters studenten.. We had a great weekend seeing the family and relaxing. Relaxing was the thing to do as the weather was horrible.. Windy, Wet and Freezing... In fact the coldest and wettest June day in 84 years.. But with good company, comfortable sofa, a warm rug and a good book, it is ok sometimes..

New place new challenges and as team Nikolovski says new opportunities... The past weeks has been used for us to settle in to the new rhythm and routines. Where to go, how to do and exploring the new home ground as much as possible. Prague offers longer days, higher pulse and a lot of happenings. The city has a long history which I at the moment know nothing about... Yes my plan is to learn, but our first visitor is my dad who is arriving on Thursday so I will have to improvise ( read make things up...) on the tour around the city. If we serve him enough good beers before I am sure he will believe anything and any story. Good enough plan that gives me more time to study Prague...

Team Nikolovski are setteling in fine, so far super good...  Prague is a beautiful city and has also offered us summer weather since we arrived. The appartment is organized and is looking good and feeling like our home. Our balcony size XL is getting prepared for nice dinners & evenings with newly bought garden furnitures and flowers in all colors.. I can tell from all the cursing in many different languages that the process of putting the furniture together is not as great as it will be to finally enjoy sitting in them... When it comes to the language and understanding it is not so easy for me... I feel like a cow just looking at people and smiling and nodding when I feel it could be suitable. Not that cows do that but I felt I needed a connection to my picture.....  Have a good weekend!!

 After a long drive, we arrived in Prague our new hometown...  We are unpacking box after box and it feels like it is an never ending job... The appartment feels great..... The weather is nice... So far Prague is treating us very nice... We will make sure we will have a great life adventure!!

I love all the decorations connected with Easter. Chickens, bunnys, påskkärringar, feathers,eggs and all in bright nice bright colors.. Everything a little too much, but I love it... This year another gang of colorful fat chickens moved in and they are looking very cute and funky.. I am gonna let myself enjoy these citchy looking birds just a few more days....
