Then it was Friday again, and time to think about the best part of the week. The best thing for us was that Peter came home on Thursday evening, from the island where he had been working for almost two weeks. Great! Other good things are that we finally got better security on the blog, that the ducklings in the marina are so cute that you want to adopt them and that we got a new ... hat!

ShareAbout security on the blog
If you tried to check the blog on Wednesday, you probably realised that we were having problems. The blog was shut down in the early morning, and could not be restarted until the evening. The reason? We had received malware via external attacks. Nasty! For security reasons, the web host shut down the blog until we resolved the problem. Fortunately, our talented web developer was available the same day. Fantastic! A big THANK YOU to him!
To protect us from future attacks, we have installed a security add-on, added a reCAPTCHA for comments and moved the blog to https, which is a secure version of http. We hope that this will keep the blog secure going forward, and that commenting will still be easy!
Ducks and ducklings
Being home alone all week has been a bit sad, but you can't help but be happy when you see the duck family we have in the marina right now.
If I had wanted to, I probably wouldn't have had to be home alone either. A female duck was very interested in visiting earlier this week.
New cap
Last but not least, we have to tell you that we got a new hat! Now it may not be completely The right time of year for a hat, but who cares when it says 'FREEDOM' on it? Camilla, who runs the blog Active days & important breaks cleaned the cupboards at home and found a hat that she thought would fit better with ... us. Big THANK YOU Camilla!

Right now, an hour or so ago, the Washington Capitals won.

A wild match against Las Vegas, but "we" won.
Will soothe nicely. 🙂

Best thing about this week... To live like this and wake up and have time to enjoy breakfast for a long time in the morning sun. Have a great day!

Wonderful! Wishing you a nice weekend! 🙂

Lots of other stuff and some concrete says:
Nasty about the blog. I'm glad it got sorted out so quickly.
Ducklings are so cute. I haven't seen any in our house yet.
The best thing about the week...is probably the weather ? even if it needs rain.
08 June 2018 - 8:26
Helena says:
Luckily we got professional help quickly! 🙂 And of course we need some rain ... from time to time 😉.

TravelAnna says:
Really nice that it worked out with the blog! I can imagine that it felt sweaty.
What a cute duck family too. Cozy to have it so close but home visits may be a bit intrusive, haha.
The hat was perfect. Nowadays you can wear a hat all year round and anywhere, so just buy it! 😀
My best thing this week was probably "luck of the draw". I hurt my foot badly last week and yesterday I had it x-rayed as they suspected an invoice as well. But it was not. Hurray, just a deep cut. Yes, you have to be happy for the little thing ... 😉
Have a nice Friday!
08 June 2018 - 8:56
Helena says:
Yes usch yes, so heavenly hard when the blog is attacked by robots, or whatever it is ... We hope we have secured it a bit now 🙂 Unpleasant with cutting! But nice that it was not worse! Hugs
08 June 2018 - 13:22
TravelAnna says:
Thank you please, yes, right! Hugs <3

Unpleasant when there are hacker attacks and where they come from!
Sure, ducklings are cute but they grow fast too 🙂 .
The best thing about this week is that it's Friday and the motorhome is leaving 🙂 .
Surely the hat was perfect for you as well 🙂 .
Have fun and enjoy the summer......
08 June 2018 - 8:58
Helena says:
One wonders what these hacker attacks are good for ... sigh. Have a nice weekend!

Husis blog says:
Nasty with such attacks. Luckily my blog is so small so hopefully it won't be subjected to any such nastiness.
The best thing about my week is that the owners have gone on holiday and I get to be on the road for a long weekend.
Enjoy them in the summer heat

I hope you don't have that kind of misery! If your blog is on a portal, you'll probably avoid it. Have a nice weekend!

GeddFish says:
Haha, what a perfect hat 😀 and hackers can stay away from us serious people, grrrr.
My favourite part of this week is definitely the visit to the capital, where I got personal guidance from a blogger friend 😀 Perfect and very cosy.
Have fun, it's summer now!

The visit to Stockholm seems to have been nice! And you had the perfect guide! 🙂

Ama de casa says:
So... WHY should people keep messing around and just fuck up? They are clearly talented, but use their talent in the COMPLETELY wrong way. I suspect that they are hired by those who sell all the protection programmes... 🙁
The ducklings are just too cute! I would probably sit and feed them most of the day 🙂 ðŸ™'
The most fun of the week was probably our little trip to Guadix and Cuevas del Almanzora. I like travelling, both short and long 😀.
What a fitting hat! Of course you have to wear it all year round now 😉.
08 June 2018 - 9:54
Helena says:
It's a bit difficult to tear suction from the lungs actually! 😉 And of course it is nice to travel, whether it is short or long journeys 🙂.

I get so angry when I think about all the shady people online. My Instagram account was targeted this week. I got a warning, so I changed my password there. In addition, someone wanted to change the password on my account. I changed my password there too. Now it is important to remember the passwords too.
The best part of the week has been gliding along the Danube... A cheeky hat,,, fits you just right,,,
08 June 2018 - 10:04
Helena says:
How sad about the instagram account! You get so tired of having to secure everywhere ... Have a nice weekend!

Now I think my comment disappeared........

Now I'm having trouble commenting...hope this works.
08 June 2018 - 10:08
Helena says:
I have had problems commenting on your blog as well. Feel free to check the spam!
09 June 2018 - 8:55
Veiken says:
So......
I've been getting shit on Instagram, so I had to change the code there and someone wanted to change my password on the emails. Now I have changed my password on both .... now I will remember them too.
Cool hat, especially for you! ?

There has been a lot of "best" about this week, most of it has been about family time and time with close friends.

Sounds like a great week! Wishing you a nice weekend Annika!

I don't understand what kind of crazy people just want to destroy. They are stupid in the head, really.
Such cute downy babies! My favourite thing this week was when we bought an inverter at a great price ?
08 June 2018 - 15:59
Helena says:
Right!!!? An inverter is good to have 🙂

Anki says:
Nasty business with attacks from hackers and other miscreants! I'm glad you got quick help.
Wonderful with the ducklings... so cute! Truly a fitting hat!
The best thing for me this week was that I got to go with my eldest son in the new truck ... and that a very cute foal was born at the neighbour's 🙂 .
08 June 2018 - 17:07
Helena says:
Soooo glad we got help quickly! Cute with foals! Hope to see a picture 🙂

Ditte says:
Very sad that someone tried to hack the blog! And nice that you quickly got good help.
Of course the ducklings are cute. We have some here too and I could easily have more if I got rid of the mother seagull and the seagulls on the roof of the neighbouring house - The hat was perfect!
Best of the week ? A lot! Weather, lots of outdoor time, a visit from a blogger friend. Book club with picnics, lunches and dinners with friends. A very nice week.
Wishing you a great weekend.

Glad to see that the hat has arrived, and it fits perfectly! Really felt like "you" when we found it! And you can definitely wear a hat all year round! 🙂
08 June 2018 - 19:45
Helena says:
The hat is absolutely perfect!!! 🙂 THANK YOU again! And yes, I have actually seen some people wearing hats now in the summer, so maybe it's fashionable 😉.

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
The best thing this week was probably meeting up with loved ones for a birthday lunch on Sunday. After all, it is nice to come home after a trip and that no mishaps have occurred. It's probably more luck than skill when travelling in southern European traffic...
I'm glad you got quick and good help with your blog. Unfortunately, this is something that we may have to get used to...
08 June 2018 - 20:02
Helena says:
Southern Europe's traffic can be challenging sometimes 😉 You had a great trip! 🙂 And yes, unfortunately, hacker attacks and spambots don't seem to disappear ...

Lena - good for the soul says:
So damn sad to get a lot of rubbish in the systems, but glad you got help! And those little birds are so cute. As long as they just swim around so woolly and cute! I have pigeons trying to nest on my balcony. It's less cute I can say!
How sweet of Camilla to send a hat. I happen to know that she is very sweet in real life too 🙂 .

BP says:
Soooooo sad about these hacker attacks. I really don't understand why an "innocent" blog like yours is affected. I can to some extent understand that ambiguous blogs are being sabotaged, but not yours. Hope the problem is solved now.
The ducks are adorable. And the hat is absolutely superb! WOW! Perfect for you. Now I just have to make a hat for Peter too. Well, you won't be the one to knit/crochet it, but still;-)
08 June 2018 - 21:24
Helena says:
Haha, no just as you say, the odds of me knitting/crocheting a hat are not that great 😉.

That the holidays start today! As the owner of a web agency, I have a lot of tips for you about security. https has mostly to do with our security. That is, us visitors, that what we interact with your site is encrypted. The most important tips are (hope you think it's ok with tips, even if you didn't ask for them): Don't forget to have really secure passwords. So secure that you can't remember them yourself. And update all plugins and your theme regularly. Preferably every week. If you want more tips, just shout, you know where to find me 🙂 But right now, as I said, I'm finally on holiday 😀.
08 June 2018 - 23:21
Helena says:
Great tips Anna! Will think hard about this with passwords! I usually update plug-ins the same day the updates come. Or do you mean that you can update even if there is no update? Wishing you a really nice holiday!!!
