Gardening like a pro

Hola blågen!
This weekend I found a new hobby. Since we moved into this house, I knew I wanted a vegetable patch - and voilá! My dad and I built one and I've planted radishes, carrots and sweet peas. Later I'll also plant pumpkins, how awesome would it be to have your own pumpkims for Halloween?! :D The veggie garden is a lot of work but a lot of fun. I've been very lucky with the weather this weekend, it's been absolutely amazing and a pleasure to work outside. We've also cleared the "woodsy" corner of our garden, so now it's got an super cool path leading down to the street, and we've got lights that look like toadstools :D I'm just insanely excited for this whole garden thing. It's going to be incredible!

This is where my carrots are currently living

I also made mazariner, after I asked my dad what to make and he requested them. They were easier than I thought, and I am very pleased with the result! Delicious.
They were round, since I made them in my muffin pan hahah

Fika for one
Luxemburg was very nice also. Met my family, did some shopping, ate good food. I also fell sick (not nice) and am still recovering, but on the whole it was a very pleasant week!

Happy Easter! Looking forward to going back to school tomorrow.

Creeping in Uppsala

Hello!
I'm just back from the lovely little town of Uppsala and I'm tired as hell. Just unpacking and then repacking for Luxemburg. I'm hoping to get a good night's sleep tonight, or else I feel sorry for my mum tomorrow!

Here are a few pictures from the past two days. We had a blast! Enjoy the awesomeness of Johanna and Hanan, two of my favourite people in the world :D
Newly arrived. Starving and waiting for our quesadillas! (Yes, local specialty of Uppsala)

Outside Domkyrkan. It was a windy day!

Museum Gustavianum
 Funny story about Museum Gustavianum actually. When we were there the first day, there was a shooting for a movie, so we didn't get to see the Anatomical Theatre, where they used to cut up dead people in front of an audience. Kind of creepy, I know, but anyway; we didn't get to see that because of the movie recording session, and we came back the day after, explained our situation and got let in for free. So we practically got two visits for the price of one! Which was nice. Here's a picture from the actual theatre.

So dead people have lied on that table, being dissected...

We found this lil' fella outside. Thought it was kinda funny. Is this a thing?

Yellow like sunshine and Easter

Writing postcards in Carolina Rediviva, the university library

The botanical gardens

I'll see if I can get her to send me the matching picture!

Just casually creeping on a random couple taking wedding photos

Hello gorgeous

Only in Sweden will you find pink castles

The wind was blowing us off the hill, but from here we had an awesome view
"Rester av en frukost" (Dad: not as awesome as yours though)

"Wait we lost Sofia"

"There she is"

"Lol nevermind"

Fyrisån, and half of one of the seven bridges

Back in the botanical gardens, today in the tropical greenhouse

This picture I think is kind of cool, the lens was all misty from the moisture in the greenhouse

Goodbye Uppsala!
So that was my very tiring but very fun weekend in Uppsala! I will not be bringing my camera to Luxemburg, but I may be blogging from my grandma's computer. Have an awesome Easter break, I'll see you soon!

PÅSKLOV

Finally Easter break!
It feels like we've just come back from sports break, but when you think about it, it' actually been a while. Time for some well-deserved rest :) For my part, this break will be very animated and exciting - today I leave for Uppsala, and on Monday my madre and I are visiting grandma in Luxemburg! So stoked :D

Yesterday we had the first meeting with the Fikaförening... Expect greatness to happen, this year is going to be awesome! I can't spoil anything now, but you'll see... :o

I met Johanna and Hanan this Thursday to plan our Uppsala trip (and we made brownies), and we are going to do all sorts of fun (and kind of nerdy ;P) stuff. I'm bringing my camera so I'll be bombing you with pictures when I get back!

Time for me to go and practice some piano now, I'll see you guys on Sunday evening/Monday morning!

I wish you a Happy Easter.
Love
Sofia

Study day

Hello!
Sitting in Bahar's apartment studying. We have a day off school today ("grey day") and we thought it would be a good idea to study together. Which it was. We have been most productive, studying math, chemistry, Spanish, and baking cookies too. Looks promising for an afternoon of efficiency :)

The weekend was spent sleeping over at Elin's place (baking key lime pies) and running in the rain. It feels so dramatic to be alone on the path in the woods with the water making your jacket stick to your skin. Like in a movie. And really, really satisfying. Aaaaah!

Only three days left until Johanna, Hanan and I go to Uppsala, and after that, Luxembourg!

Have an awesome week.
Love
Sofia

Oxford flats and busy life

Hello!
So I just recently discovered Pinterest. If you like looking att pretty things and delicious-looking food, go there. It is the Taj Mahal of all things fashion, crafts, baking, fitspo, you name it. You don't know what you're missing. www.pinterest.com is the website! LOVELOVELOVE (okay I may be a little bit obsessed.)

Now, moment of truth: my Oxford flats arrived yesterday! I wore them today, and my feet are slightly sore, but that's always a thing with new shoes. I just have to walk into them and make sure that they get some nice wear! I took some photos, tried to make it look somewhat professional with the background and such, hihihi that was fun. Anyway, here they are!
Yaay so pretty

I especially like this picture

The pearl necklace just makes it more interesting, I think
Otherwise I'm quite busy at the moment, a lot of work and various events and I'm not sleeping too much, but it really doesn't bother me because I love what I do.
Goodnight!
Love
Sofia
