The weekend Tanja & Therese came to "town"

Imagine that it’s Friday afternoon………the sun is shining on your face….you have a massive wooden box filled with ripe, red, Spanish Strawberries in the back of your car that you plan to serve for dessert and the awareness that in just a few hours, you will be picking up two of your very dearest friends, that you have not seen in nearly a year, at the airport. 
That was how my weekend started!!!


We had 3 great days together filled with an unimaginable amount of crazy jokes and laughter and equal amounts of food and cheese ;)
We didn’t do that much. It was not really needed…….we were just catching up on old memories and making new ones and also enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Essertines.

Oh and I’m actually lying!! It was 3 friends, not two! I almost forgot to mention Eric Flat who of course also joined (he lives with Therese). You’ll see him in some of the photos below, enjoying the Swiss country side for the first time ;)))
It was a beautiful evening in Essertines!

I prepared some healthy snacks.....
Who am I kidding?? Snacks and CHEESE of course!!
....I made American Pancakes for breakfast
....for a whole army ;)
Saturday afternoon was spent in Geneva
Eric, enjoying the silence under a tree......total harmony!
Am pretty sure I saw him shivering a bit in fear here....but in the end, they got along well, Eric and the Cows!
Some views from our Sunday walk around the village
Eric was surely enjoying the country side

.....and so did Therese and Tanja =)

Our village in spring =))

Buttercups fully in bloom

Beautiful spring day!!
A "neighbor" has rabbits and we were allowed to go in to see them. How cute can something get??
It was hard to get Chris out of there in the end.....and even harder to say  no to bringing one of these home!!
I wish all days would be like these!! Thanks Tanja & Therese for such a lovely and FUN weekend!!! We enjoyed it so much =)))

A long weekend, a wedding and high hopes for better weather...

Toooodleeedoooo!

Weekend, a long one, just around the corner (well, actually for me it already begun this morning)!

The plans: Relaxation, picnics, a wedding, shopping and hopefully a few good movies...
The weather: Still really bad here, but I'm feeling hopeful! The weather forecast says 21 degrees and sunny tomorrow with 90% certainty ;)
The mood: Quite awesome actually!

I decided to take the day off today....... Why? Just because!! Sometimes I have the feeling that there is never ever enough time to do what I really want to do, which is simply relax. So today, I slept in until almost 10, had a late and long breakfast while watching Greys Anatomy and just plan to spend the rest of the day taking care of myself. Blogging, shopping, some kind of massage or facial-treatment, gym and/or a long walk is on my to-do list today, but nothing is forced....no musts!

The weather has been ridiculously bad here in Switzerland lately but I have high hopes for the weekend!! Seriously! I have been freezing like a shaved polar-bear!! BUT now I'm hearing 24 degrees towards Sunday/Monday and all I can say is WELCOME MARVELLOUS RAYS OF SUNSHINE!!!
For the Swedes reading this, I know you are better off!! Yes, I have been reading your blogs, Tweets and Facebook updates with words like "incredible heat", "sunshine", "tanning", "BBQ" and even "sweat" (yes!) etc etc and have felt such an envious kind of joy.....if you know what I mean ;) Well.....good things come to those who wait with patience I hear and I am very well trained in being patient........and I do agree to 99% with John Ruskin:

“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”

So on to the wedding..... Yes, my boyfriends friends (gotta love these way of describing relations....is there really no easier way than "my friends dads friends cousin" etc? I'm asking for help here ;)) wedding party is tomorrow! Shirts have to be ironed, dresses need to be matched with shoes, bags and ties, inventory levels of rightly-coloured-make-up needs checking, nails need to be groomed and painted, hair-styling thoughts need to take form and and and etc etc etc..........if you are a girl, you are very likely to know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. If you are a guy, you are more likely to shake your head and think things like "Oh for F's sake!" or "I'm so happy I'm a man" or maybe even "Eeek!" and all I can say is "I hear ya!".
...but what can I say?? I'm actually comfortable in the girlie-girl-stereo-type.....not because I have to, but because I want to.......... Don't knock it till you try it!

Anyway, that's round-about what's happening over here at the moment!!
Hope you have amazing plans for the weekend or if you don't, that you make the most of that potential opportunity for resting and regain some energy.

Weekend....at last!!

Fall is a fact, winter is lurking juuuuust behind the corner and Christmas is so near it is inevitable to walk into a store here without feeling at least a little tempted to buy some new decorations or at least start thinking about christmas gifts! Isn't it incredible how time really flies?!

My week has been quite awful to be honest and all I can think about is sleep! I feel so drained....
I really need some fresh-air, daylight and a weekend that is completely pressure-free!

Bad news is that I've heard that the weather this weekend is supposed to be rainy and dull..... Good news is that there are umbrellas ;)

A weekend of bad weather during fall for me often mean drinking hot-chocolate under a blanket in the sofa watching movies! I love those weekends......completely pressure free! Without firm plans - just wishes! ...and since I know there will be quite a few of these, I have already prepared my "Top 5 Most Wanted Movies list" that I thought I'd share with you!
Here goes ;)

1. (500) Days of Summer


2. Where the wild things are


3. A Christmas Carol


4. Coco avant Chanel



5. Adventureland



Exciting movies coming up I must say!
If you have already watched these - let me know what you thought please? =))
Hope you will all have a GREAT weekend, regardless of plans or weather!
