another day in our lives
stockholm is a wonderful city. it really is. but right now the city is just covered in clouds and people with frowns. it’s the gray season and everyone here just waits for it to be over. if i had some vacation days left, this would be the time to use them. but luckily, christmas is just 6 weeks away. but until then…?
broken camera, problems with deliveries, ruined countertop and more. i’m just so sick of it all.
atleast you know now why it’s so quiet here.
ps: but totti is doing great! 
he starts of the walk happy and excited to “read” the messages left by the other city dogs on curbs and poles and leaves new messages for them to “read”. but after a while his becoming hesitant, realizing something isn’t right. one block away from the veterinarian he turns on the breaks and i have to carry him the rest of the way.
the first vet fears the worst. she doesn’t see a cut in the eye and thinks this is some sort of eye disease. totti is shaking like a leaf and squeezing his eye shut as hard as he cans during the examination. he’s obviously not feeling well and the nice vet decides to call in the specialist.
totti and i sit down in another room and waits for this expert to show up and an hour later she’s ready for him. totti has now gotten used to the hospital and is not as hesitant to show the new vet his now blue blurry eye. they all praise him for being such a nice and handsome miniature bull terrier.
and then the new vet sees it. there is a small speck of sand corn which has penetrated the lens. according to the vet is this the most painful injury to the eye. BUT it’s treatable!
so after a trip to the pharmacy to pick up eye drops and creams plus painkillers, totti is now home and guessing sleeping. because of his condition he’s getting special treatment today and gets to sleep on the bed. my little cosy totts. at least he should be better soon!
we spent less than 24hrs on the island but still worth the trip. and linus had to work of course. first in the kitchen as my personal chef and then pulling up the boat together with his dad. neighbor Anders helped as well.
it’s so wonderful to be out there regardless of the weather conditions. it’s a perfect place to relax, eat and drink good and just be. i’m hoping to take a trip back soon. thanksgiving maybe?
to be able to keep track of the process i’ll make separate posts for each day.
start saturday: tearing down upper cabinets and getting rid of old fridge and oven.
Linus struggling with a kitchen which apparently was built to withstand wars
lots of trash to bring to “fraggelberget”
Totti as always very helpful
tuesday lunch and dreaming myself away. i’m feeling a bit restless these days and keep wishing for bigger and better things. who knows what’s coming for me in the future? i’ll give it another month to see how things go, but if nothing happens i have to make my own luck. scary but true.
totti loving life on the beach in hemmeslöv…
oh how fast the weekend went… it felt like all we did was driving and that we barely arrived before we had to turn back and return to stockholm. but still worth it. however, next time i’m planning on staying longer. more pictures later of course. now, relaxing with my boys.
here are some more pictures from the weekend that just past. unfortunately i had to censor most of the pictures from the party (i was not always the photographer…) but that means more dog pictures which you all of course love! 
what a weekend! sunny weather, great company and tons of food (and beer, wine and snaps!). i was pretty beat last night but well worth it. thanks to all and of course especially to Linus and his parents who let us use their place.
pictures are from saturday day so more pictures of course to come…
last post was so boring so let’s look at some more puppy pictures. notice how the puppies tried to nurse from ester… poor girl but she just loves puppies so much she’ll let them do anything!
