LAST OF MAY.

May! Cherry season! Love! Cherries!  The other night D. and I made one of my (our??) faves. With three shades of tomatoes.  And slow cooked mince for me. Since Duncan went veggie I've been eating much less meat than I used to, but every now and then I get a real craving. This mince got to simmer for hours with lots of yummy spices, it was good for three days dinners which felt like a win 👌 Tacos!!! The kids ask me very often what my favourite food is, I think I have to say tacos. They're so versatile and delicious. Here with yummy toppings like pickled onion, nacho cheese dip and coriander. Mmmmmm.  Taco leftovers the night after! Added rice and halloumi and ate in front of arts and crafts-y youtube clips :))))  I watch videos about bullet journal spreads pretty much every day now... I've always been a bit of a stationary geek, now I feel like I really have somewhere to channel all that geeky energy 🤓 Ordered an amazing little white out pen from amazon a few days ago and am saving all the inspiration I can find in a folder on pinterest. Mmm lettering and doodling.  The other night I cooked dinner in a kitchen the size of our apartment. I'm not kidding, I really do think that they're around the same size. Put on a foodie podcast (Margarinet, for Swedish foodies), opened up the windows and cooked myself a salmon feast. This was at babysitting of course, so baby monitor always near 👶 Hung out with one of my regular families on Thursday. Looked at the sunset from their balcony, snuggled up on the sofa in front of Harry Potter. Cozy night.  The family had been to Venice on holiday the weekend before and bought me the ring on the right!! How amazing is it?? Was moved by their generosity and kindness 😥❤The blue, plastic ring on the left is a relic from the 90s that I dug up the other day. In Sweden we have something called "fritids", it's a place where kids can go after school when their parents might not be able to pick them up straight away. This is very standard for pretty much all kids and they stay open for a few weeks in summer as well. One summer when I was there I was the only girl of the group, the adults who worked there were so sweet to me and gave me this ring for being brave :')  One more food pic before we start to round up! Made veggie bourgignon the other day, again! Loads of mushrooms (I used three different kinds), a mirepoix, green beans, WINE and mash. Not exactly the right season for it, but it was pretty damn delicious so who cares??  Which brings us almost to today! Well, this is last night :))) Can you tell how dark my hair is now? I was going to do more of a dramatic reveal-post, but eh, whatever - I'm back to black baby! I love it and feel strangely more like myself than I do with my natural, brown hair. Here in the family's bathroom, sporting the 5 year old's scrunchie.  I stayed over with the kids last night as the parents were out of town for a wedding. We had a super cosy night with a spooky movie, yummy dinner, candy, cuddles. Was woken up today just before 8 by the little one super quietly giving me a careful hug "to not wake me up but still give me a hug" :'))))) ❤❤❤ Now it's just past eleven and 28 degrees outside (pic from a half hour ago), it's gonna be a scorcher guys!!
