@home again

I am home again, but Christian is still in Paris
for a few more days. Tonight he will meet
Peter and Tony for a drink,
I wish I was a fly on the wall!


Mette, Emelie, Miranda and Bassie.
Miranda had done some serious house-cleaning,
nobody would have guessed they had had a party
the night before.


Johanna and Arielle.



The trip home from Montréal via London was loooong
and boring, but I received a warm welcome from the kids
and quite a few of their friends. Here are Bassie, Markus and Fredde.


Daisy (right side on the back) has had a great time.
Here she is at a beachparty with her friends.

MPS is launched in Montréal



I have also treated myself to a Nintendo ds,
and I started my braintraining at 80 years old,
but now I am down to 58.



We launched the entire paper yesterday, and it went great.
This morning I went shopping,
but no clothes were big enough for me
so I only bought some stuff for Arielle and Miranda...

Montréal, Canada



A really nice hotel!

Philip, Cheryl and I flew to Montréal Saturday April 19.
Philip had a nice seat in the front of the plane,
for some reason Cheryl and I sat at the very back of the plane next to the toilet...
The hotel is really nice. Do you see the luggage-carriers in the background, Tony?
We have started working, nice and quiet in the office because it's Sunday.

Nice to be @ home again


I have just enjoyed a lovely walk with my friend Lena (not in the pic),
Daisy and her friend Molina in the forest!

Bordeaux wine district

Back in Sweden again Saturday night - Peter rushed off in a taxi to his family (and to check his bottles).
I hurried back to Värmdö to eat and drink French wine and cheese with my loved ones.
Peter reports that all bottles were in good shape and he now has to build a wine cellar to keep them that way..



Peter has become mr linkedin, a really boring companion.
Luckily his battery gave up after a while!


On our way to Merignac airport we passed by this village
with the same name as my husbands eldest daughter.


We spent the afternoon shopping at the market in Blaye,
cheese, asparagus...


Peter needs all the help he can get
to pack the bottles for the flight back to Sweden...


The rooms full of oakbarrels are quite impressive!


The lady of the castle and Peter inspect the vineyards.



Early next morning we went to pick up Peters birhdaypresent,
24 bottles of wine at Chateau Monconseil Gazin.



In the medieval citadel, we checked into a hotel
with a great view of the Gironde.
The cockroaches in the room were not so nice, though...



We went to the village of Blaye and looked at the citadelle.



After concluding our work in Paris,
Peter and I hopped on the TGV to Bordeaux.
We rented a car and drove north into the amazing wine district.

Happy birthday, Boss!

Paris April 10

























After a hard day at work, Peter and I went to le Louvre (open in the evenings on Wednesdays) to meet two beautiful women, Monalisa and Venus.



















After our cultural excursion, we went to the pigs leg for a late dinner...
Then Peter was tired and insisted on going to bed with his book "Bitterfittan". He wanted to be in good shape for meeting his Swedish relatives for breakfast - by chance they happen to be in Paris and at our hotel same time as we are.




















Breakfast with Peter and his tremänningar, Nina and Birgitta!

Lucky I don't work in films...

Tourists



After work, Peter and I spent an afternoon as tourists.
We visited Notre Dame, took a boattrip on Seine (Batobus), walked outside le louvre and ended up drinking Kir royal in a café in Beaubourg...
After a suggestion from Mayanne, we had a nice dinner at a restaurant near the Bastille, Bofinger.

April in Paris

















Very nice quite small rooms, and I got a bathtub ;-)
A little bit too far from the office, though.
