Loppis and soccer

Empty walls so far

New coffee table - only 75 SEK!

New lamp

world cup snack

We spent the day going to different loppis (flee markets) around the city. We made some really good buys like the coffee table for only 10 USD. We bought a couple of lamps (new), rugs and a shoe stand. The sofa (from IKEA) is arriving on Friday along with the guest bed (for all you guys to come and visit us!). We've bought some wine and nice cheeses and are now waiting for the American - England soccer game to start!

First day in Lycksele

I left Strömstad 8pm on Thursday night, took 4 buses to Stockholm, a bus to Arlanda and then a flight to Lycksele at 9 am Friday morning. Chris got in at 8 pm after spending the week in England on a geology course. I spend the day cleaning in the apartement, which was far from tidy and unpacked, and catcing up on my sleep. Chris apartment's location is just perfect; in the middle of the city, 5 min from the closest supermarket. It was a concert just right outside our window yesterday and one of the artists was Brolle which is pretty big in Sweden.

I'm leaving for London in about 5h and i should really sleep now but i'm, as always when i'm going to fly, very excited. Maybe just to see Chris after way to many weeks apart!
