Vacation Postcard Summer 2018

Swimming with my favourite dress

av Anna Munkhammar augusti 2, 2018

Another wounderful summer day has passed. The sea was warm and I had to take a dip in the sea despite not wearing any bikini.

It’s not the first time that I jump into the sea with my dress this summer

It’s the perfect summer dress and I wear it almost everyday. I bought it on sale on H&M before traveling to Florida last autumn. I don’t know what to do when it’s worn out!!

After the bath we were invited to our neighbour Maries cottage to fika (coffee and cake).

In the evening Johan and his brother was water skiing until a thunderstorm came in. Even though I have learned to water ski I did not feel like doing it today. I was content with sitting in the boat as a spectator.

Time to go to sleep soon. I hope I will see some bats when I go to bed. We have seen them hunt in the evenings and they are very fast! Impossible to take a picture of them!

80s goth car dreams

av Anna Munkhammar augusti 2, 2018

I have been trying to figure out how I should dress for the Retro Rally on Saturday. The hammock is a great place for important thoughts…

I’m participating in the Rally with my old Volvo 740 from 1988. It’s not a real rally, you drive your veteran car on a beautiful route and there are pit stops along the way with lunch and coffee breaks.

There is also a various prices to win and one of them is called “Concours de charme”. The driver with the outfit that matches the car the best wins. I don’t think that I will stand a chance but my plan is to dress in a 80s goth style. I think it should suit the interior of my car pretty well, don’t you think?

Too bad my cat Patrik can’t come along in the car!

When I did image searches on icons such as Siouxsie Sioux to get ideas I found a new blog that I really like! Perhaps you already know about it but it’s called Corvinus Style. Her blog is kind of what I wish mine would be with a clear focus. The post about 80s goth was interesting and well made, you can find it here.

The evening ended with a tasty as well as beautiful Mojito… mmmm

I think Mojito is my favourite drink, what’s yours?

Driving Veteran Mopeds

av Anna Munkhammar juli 31, 2018

Today Johan fixed the veteran mopeds and after that we could take them for a ride!

Johan looks like a giant on his Crescent Compact from the 70s. His grandfather once modified it when Johan was a kid and too small to reach down with his feet. Cute!!

We drove to a place called Sandögårdarna. The house is from the 19th century and the couple who live there have a small farm with sheep. Johans mum and a friend of hers had cykled there in advance to buy a beautiful sheepskin and sausage.

I love driving “my” moped! it’s fun and there is a special feeling when they are old. It’s not really mine but I always drive the Honda Dax and I wish it was in my possession ?

After a few stops we continued back to the cottage.

That’s all for today, see you again tomorrow!

Lisemajs Guesthouse Cake Buffet

av Anna Munkhammar juli 30, 2018

Lisemaj has a guesthouse in Västmark and once a year every summer she organizes a big cake buffet. She bakes everything herself and it’s amazing!

Even before Lisemaj had opened her buffet the que was long. Longer than what is visible on this image.

As you can imagine it was hard to chose which cakes to try!

Let’s go down the memory line… This is what it looked like two years ago when me and mum visited Lisemaj in July 2016: I hope we can go again in 2019 ?

Lisemajs daughter looks like the swedish crown princess Victoria!

If you want to see more of Lisemajs cake creations she has a facebook group called Lisemajs kaloribomber (Lisemajs calorie bombs).

Return of the sunsets

av Anna Munkhammar juli 28, 2018

It’s clear that we are going into August soon. The evenings are getting darker as the sun goes down but the nights are still lukewarm.

Yesterday we went down to the beach to get a glimpse of the blood moon. Unfortunately we could not see it because it was probably hidden on the other side of the island.

With or without blood moon, it was still a beautiful walk at the beach!

Today we took the boat on a tour around Sandön and in the evening it was “sunset time” again.

Mmm Mojito!

Sweet dreams!

Vacation Postcard

av Anna Munkhammar juli 27, 2018

I was doing really well with my vacation postcard blog posts but the past two days I didn’t upload any. There is a good reason for that but it’s a secret and I have to wait before I can tell you… Exiting!!

Today started with a small and very cute cup of coffee. After that we went to Sandön again ?

We took a boat trip from the sea to Luleå river.

Finally some rest after working with the renovation for days!

Renovating the old door

av Anna Munkhammar juli 25, 2018

Yet another day with hard work. We had to empty the garage and bring all stuff to the cottage in the backyard. There has been two snowmobiles in there too but I forgot to photograph the mess before we started… It actually looked much worse than this!

My arms are aching! I should look like a bodybuilder after this!! (I shouldn’t take all the credit though, Johan was carrying too)

You might think I rested after all that but nope, we began renovating the door.

I’m painting the inside of the door white but we don’t know which colour the outside should be and therefore I will leave it untouched.

Johan removed the yellow glass so that I could paint between the two glasses as well. We also ordered new glass that has a similar texture but is clear instead of yellow.

Tomorrow I can paint a second layer of paint and then we only have to wait for it to dry and mount the new glass ?

Perhaps tomorrow evening we will take a break from working with the house and do something different.

Popcorn & Garage Plans

av Anna Munkhammar juli 23, 2018

I’ve been cleaning the whole house today and even though it felt good I kind of wish I had been at Sandön instead.

We are going to build a new garage and the old one has to go but before the demolishion we have to empty the garage. Guess if there is a lot of things in there..?

When we finally got to rest in the sofa I told Johan I needed popcorn ASAP!

But what’s up with the new garage? Well we are making it wider and a little bit higher than before. In the old garage you can barely fit one car but the new will take two cars + two snowmobiles.

Got to sleep now. Sweet dreams!

Painting Kitchen Cabinets

av Anna Munkhammar juli 22, 2018

Yesterday the only thing I photographed was my cup of coffee…

I worked the entire day painting the inside of our kitchen cabinets and the walls in the hallway. In the evening Johanna and Patrik were throwing a party and we had a great time. I didn’t take any pictures there eather I just wanted to be in the moment and have fun with my friends ?

Today I put back some of the porcelain into the cabinets and finished painting the last ones.

I also painted the last coat of paint in the hall and Johan mounted windowsills.

I’m very proud over everything we have accomplished ?

Boden Alive Rally Sprint

av Anna Munkhammar juli 21, 2018

Came home to Patrik today and I think he has missed me! Mum took care of him for almost a week while we have been away from home.

Patrik loves to cuddle and every time I record a YouTube video he wants to sit in my lap. I suppose he think it’s cosy and it help me to be more at ease in front of the camera too!

What else has happened today besides petting my little cat? Well, we went to Boden Alive Rally Sprint.

It was fun to see all the fast rally cars but in one of the breaks they drove with old enthusiast cars at low speed instead. My heart did beat a little extra for this intermission ?
