Happy Friday! The best thing about this Friday is probably ... that it's Friday! Right now we're tired in the morning, tired in the evening and a bit tired in the middle of the day. How is that even possible? Life as a blogger is not as glamorous as you might think, haha. But hard work is part of life, so ... Happy Friday!

ShareUpdating the blog - a never-ending job
A while ago we came up with the brilliant (?) idea that we should go through and update the blog. You know: getting rid of old embarrassing posts, clearing out links that don't lead anywhere, replacing small blurry pictures with bigger fancier ones, adding maps to our travel tips pages and so on.
All this would have been fine if we had started blogging six months ago, but considering that we started in the spring of 2009 and have been blogging every day since then, there's a lot to take in ... Below all free time we sit at our computers. A social life - what is that? But anyway, the good thing is that the blog is actually getting better (we hope)!
Fairs and digging in the motorhome sector
Peter has visited the fair All about the lake this week and we're thinking of checking out the Explore and Photo Fair this weekend. And then there's the matter of what's going on. behind the scenes in the motorhome industry. We promised that we would dig this week and we have done so.
Some people have been reached and others are unreachable. Other people have contacted us by email or through comments on the blog or on Facebook. We are gathering facts and thinking about how to write our post that will be published on Sunday. There is a lot of information and a lot of thinking. In the end, we are ... exhausted.
Happy Friday!
So ... let's celebrate the weekend! Not that we are "free" from the blog at the weekend, but since I'm not going to work, it's one less thing to concentrate on. Maybe we'll have time for both a trip to the fair and some relaxing on the sofa, if we're lucky. What is the best thing that happened during your week?

We have done what we do best during the week, i.e. travelled. So with that you can be satisfied.
We travelled to Dubai, a trip where the teenagers got to decide the destination. We were a bit sceptical about that choice ourselves. But the trip turned out great and everyone is happy.
09 March 2018 - 7:31
Helena says:
Glad you were happy with the trip! Dubai seems very popular right now!

Ugh to clean up the blog! That's exactly what we're dealing with now too. And given the move and everything, there are lots of errors that occur and that must be corrected. But how sweet it will be when it is ready!
09 March 2018 - 7:44
Helena says:
Then I understand that you also have a lot of work with the blog ...! And of course it feels good when there is a little order and things work!!!! Nice weekend!

You are doing a great job with your blog. Here I am still weighing the pros and cons of starting a simple blog, but it's tempting.
The funniest and most incredible thing that happened during the week is that on Monday Magdalena Graaf, from Postkodlotteriet came to two of our closest neighbours with lots of gift cards from Ving. Even we who by birth and unbridled habit have a ticket there got some so now we are sitting with just over SEK 47,000 at Ving and the wonderful I-land problem: Where should we go?
09 March 2018 - 8:11
Helena says:
But wow, what a wonderful "problem" you are dealing with! ?? Lovely! Curious to hear where you will travel! And of course you should start a blog! Great fun! ?

Cleaning the blog is currently not on the map. Enough to clean the apartment hihi You are good at taking care of it at all. Do not forget to refuel energy between rounds!
Have a nice weekend
09 March 2018 - 8:21
Helena says:
There won't be so much cleaning in the boat instead?
09 March 2018 - 11:01
Lena - good for the soul says:
Oh yes, it really takes a lot of time to blog. And with the quality that you keep, you must put in an awful lot of hours!
I'm off to the fairs soon!
Hug Lena

Helena says:
Yes, there will be many hours...! Have fun at the fairs! Hope you get some report 🙂

Maria says:
Oops. We're not the only ones who are tired! Feels like hibernation. But this week we had a spring day and damn what energy we got! Sat out in the sun and had breakfast. Cleaned out the motorhome and removed the winter fabric from the sofa cushions. So there is still hope! ? Just wait for the spring sun! ? Have a nice weekend!
09 March 2018 - 9:27
Helena says:
It sounds good that there is hope! Great to be ready with the motorhome! ?

Ditte says:
It's a lot of work with your blog and it really is of high quality. A full-time job for Peter and sometimes also for Helena.
I have recommended the blog to many people and right now it is being read by some people who will soon be travelling to Albania. Have also met motorhome owners in Spain where I have recommended the blog.
The best thing that has happened here is the recharging and countdown for our trip to Beijing and the fact that our visas seem to be ready.
Wishing you a nice weekend.

How nice that you have recommended our blog Ditte! We really appreciate it!

I haven't even thought about cleaning the blog and probably never will. Have enough with cleaning our home. Especially now that we are finally starting to get on our feet after a very long flu. Will try to stay up and work my work shifts Friday-Sunday now.
Nice weekend Hugs

Cross yourself!!! We don't bother with the cleaning in the boat instead ... 😉.

You spend valuable time on your informative and enjoyable blog, which is appreciated by many 😀.
Surely it is work with a blog! And honestly, I don't really have time for the blog walks, there are too many of them, if you want to visit all of them 😀 In addition, I have another task, which has expanded, I read texts and publish on MOD - socially rewarding.
My week has been quite snowed in, but it's not over yet, so tomorrow I'm off to training in Karlstad! Looking forward to this!
09 March 2018 - 11:11
Helena says:
How exciting, what kind of texts do you publish on MOD? Hope it will be a great education! 🙂
09 March 2018 - 19:59
Annika in Spain says:
Haha, funny question! Best thing about the week? I am in such a bad mood that I have had to think for a good while about whether something has been good 🙂 Of course it has. The best has probably been the work moments at the computer, with the radiator on, the cat on the desk and the rain smacking outside the window.
Have a nice weekend, both of you!
09 March 2018 - 11:21
Helena says:
Sometimes it is good to be forced to think about what has actually been good 😉 We wish you a nice weekend too!

You are doing a fantastic job! Go for it! I have had so little time for the blog last year and so it must be now ...
Nice weekend ?

Thank you very much! Different periods have different priorities, and that's ok! Have a nice weekend!

Now you have a serious blog and you are very ambitious, which of course is appreciated by all readers. I have to say that I'm glad I only have a nonsense blog, as I don't have to delete old posts or change pictures. Your blog is a database with tips and more about travel destinations, so it requires a completely different work. However, I think the most important thing is that you yourself enjoy having such an ambitious blog. If it becomes a burden, it is not fun.
09 March 2018 - 15:52
Helena says:
Great comment! Well, we probably think the blog is the most fun of all, it's the one we talk about all the time 😉 Sometimes it may be a bit much, but then we have to take a break ... Tonight we will watch some film and just relax! 🙂 Nice weekend!

Love to read your blog, lots of tips on different trips, myself I long for mine which will be 16 April to Cyprus. Me and my partner are going to the fair tomorrow for some boat and camera research, you can always find a new camera ?

Helena says:
Great to hear that you like our blog Razzy! 🙂 Great with a trip to look forward to! Cyprus was one of the destinations our blog colleague Lina (Liniz Travel & Lifestyle) suggested as a good destination for Easter on TV just recently 🙂 .

Yes, you are really outstanding with your blog. Both with width, updates and feedback. It is no wonder that it takes effort.
You may not need to respond to every comment. Not this one, for example ????
