Sickness, Christmas holidays and travel planning

We've been in hospital most of the week, but that doesn't stop a Happy Friday, does it? From our hardback existence, we can tell you about some really good TV shows, and of course we can tell you how our travel plans are going.

Disease

Illness sounds like a rather boring headline on a happy Friday, but I (Helena) am glad that I am now feeling better! When you have not been able to keep any food for several days, you are happy for the little things, like keeping some tea and a crust. Now I can also eat completely normal meals - fantastic!

Honestly, if you only suffer from occasional things like winter vomiting, you really have nothing to complain about. It's part of life! Now Peter is starting to feel a bit upside down, but he never gets as bad as me (take my word for it). Since we've mostly been hanging out at home, we can recommend three good TV series as a bonus:

• Stranger things - Science fiction horror with children in the lead role may not sound like a winning concept, but us beloved this series!
• Fauda - An elite unit of the Israeli army operates undercover in the West Bank and Gaza, and you can follow the both pages. Interesting!
• The Crown - Political power play and romance during Elizabeth II's time on the throne - we've only seen a few episodes but can't wait to see more!

Christmas holidays

Initially, we thought about doing a short trip over Christmas. We thought about visiting Belarus or Ireland, for example. Now there will be no trip. The main reason is the aforementioned illness in combination with me trying to finish a job. Too stressful!

Another reason is that we couldn't find any good prices. We followed the price development on a few different sites (including Momondo and Flygstolen.se), but after a while the prices stopped going down, and in some cases they even went up again. Prices were actually at their lowest about 1.5 weeks before departure. So it will be a quiet Christmas at home, but it will be perfectly ok!

Travel planning

But have we given up on travel planning? No! We are now looking at travelling over the New Year and the first week of January. Hopefully we can get away for a week then! Where it will be in that case remains to be seen. Now it's your turn! What has been the best part of your week?
