This week has been tough! Peter has been working on building a log house on Ringsö and I have been "holding the fort" at the county council and at home in the houseboat. But the hardest part has been not seeing each other. It may sound a little silly, but we are not used to being apart ... Now Peter is home again, and that means it is definitely Happy Friday for us! Among other things, there was a seafood party yesterday in the houseboat...!

ShareRingsö in Lake Mälaren
Peter has spent a week and a half on Ringsö in Lake Mälaren, helping our friends to make the building a log house. I was on the island for the weekend, but then I went back home. I am working! I think working in the summer is okay, but being apart is not as fun ...
Peter is back home
Peter is home again, and that's my best contribution to Happy Friday! Last night we had a seafood party in the houseboat - a really nice evening with oysters, prawns and crayfish to celebrate being together again.
In addition, I have finally received help here at home in the "blog office". Peter has visited an island in Lake Mälaren called Oxsten, which has a very special history. Film and story to come! What has been most positive during your week?
Did you miss the last Happy Friday? Read the Summer at the Karlberg Canal (and hope to see you)

Being reunited after a whole week apart must of course be celebrated with a party. And what delicacies you have prepared. Yummy!
I am looking forward to Peter's film.
The most positive thing for me this week was that D and I went on a day trip and of course that D is enjoying a holiday this week. She needs it.

It sounds nice and good that D treats himself to a holiday! Wishing you a nice weekend!

Yummy with seafood and a cosy reunion with "mysterious" little glasses, hmmmm....?

Haha, you looked closely at the picture 😉 Yes, I wonder what could have been in those glasses...? 😉

We also have a great Friday feeling today. Going on holiday for the 3rd time this summer. 🙂 The children come to me this afternoon and we go out to the cottage tomorrow.
The negative (if you can include it) is that the weather looks like rain, rain, rain on our mountain hike later this week and that my poor ear crystals are still rattling. Looking forward to being alert and feeling good whenever it is.

Great to go on holiday several times! 🙂 We also have rain here today, but ok I think. Hope you get better soon!!!

Fresh seafood is so good!!! Understand that it was nice to meet again and to celebrate it with a seafood party.
Here it has been a great week with a bit of everything and since I am a "Baroness" I have the time for what I want to do. Some travel jobs are planned and some trips are planned and enjoying the beautiful weather in beautiful Stockholm and in the archipelago is also clearly enjoyable.
Have a nice weekend!

Why would it be silly not to want to be apart? It does not mean that you sit together at the hip and that one holds the knife while the other holds the fork, but that you are there in each other's presence all the time. At each other's computer ... 😀
Seafood fever! That's great! Did you get everything?
28 July 2017 - 11:57
Helena says:
You are absolutely right! But I know that many others are apart from each other from time to time, in work and other things ... But we don't like it and try to avoid it 😉 And we got almost everything ... just some prawns that were left over for the breakfast sandwich 😉.

The best thing about the week is "Happy Friday", which for me is a day off after a hectic work week (it's no lazy man's work with an 8-hour workday to work at the pathology lab during the holiday season with barely half the staff). There will probably be some shrimp here tonight, but next Friday it will be lobster and bubbly, then four weeks of holiday awaits!!!!!
Have a nice weekend!

I call that true love:-) To still be in love after all these years together. So you were absolutely right to celebrate with "the delights of the sea" - yummy:-)

Absolutely the right approach! Of course the *heart* should be involved and together. Love.
My best thing this week was the friends' meeting for three with lunch and coffee in a cosy café with home-baked goods.
It's important to cherish your friends 😀
Hugs and continue to enjoy your Friday night!

We also want to eat crayfish once in early August, it's so good. We want to go to http://carlensfisk.se in Habo. There are the most delicious Vättern crayfish. Nice end to the week in the houseboat.

Here we have had some intense summer weeks with children and grandchildren so there has been no time to read blogs / facebook. Now I'm trying to catch up on some of it. Shellfish party in the houseboat sounds nice.
