Update

I figured I'd make a small update of my holiday plans and what actually got done...
  • If there still are blueberries and chanterelles in the forest, I want to go out and pick some. Unfortunately people have been sharing pictures of how much they've already picked, so I'm afraid that the season may have passed when we get there. There will be new opportunities next year!
    Blueberries found, picked, and eaten. No time for chanterelles, and from what I heard from my sister, there were hardly any left anyway...


  • I want to look for yarn and knitting needles.
    Yes to both of these. Got some cheap(ish) acrylic yarn to practice with before I buy the nice stuff, and my grandma's old knitting needles. Love using her old needles instead of getting new ones.

  • I'm looking at making a photo album for the baby. One of my sisters is really into scrap booking (and good at it!), so I'd like to see if she'd be willing to help me start on a very simple looking album.
    Got an album, paper and scissors plus some things for embellishments for my birthday. Yay!

  • I want to go climbing.
    Yes! In this post are some pictures of the climbing center.

  • I want to see how much an Ergo Baby Carrier would cost to buy in Sweden, and if it's really as good as you hear it is.
    They were sold out when I got to the shop, but the prices seem pretty good. And I guess the demand means they're quite popular too...!

  • I want to go to the grocery store. Definitely need to buy remoulade!! We had that (together with fresh onions, dried onions, mustard and ketchup) on hot dogs when we were in Iceland, and that was sooo good. But they don't sell that type of sauce here. :(
    Brought some remoulade, lactose free creme fraiche and halloumi cheese. Lovely!

In addition to this, we've been looking at Bronze age rock carvings in Tanumshede, taken the ferry out into the Gothenburg archipelago, visited an old relative, been to Huskvarna to see friends and been to Gothenburg several times. We've also been hunting for wedding locations, and gotten an exclusive guided tour of Torpa Stenhus, where Gustav Vasa, the first Swedish king, came to get his third wife...
