Hearts in the sky
Thursday morning started with hearts in the sky (top image). According to the newspapers, it was two pilots who wanted to spread some love in these times. How nice is that?
"Semester"
I (Helena) am employed by Region Stockholm, and I have been working from home since March due to the pandemic. As of today, I am officially on holiday for four weeks. Great!
So, why have I put "holiday" in quotation marks? Well, the company, the blog and the webshop are not exactly taking a holiday. We will be busy even during our summer trip, or maybe above all during our summer trip. But it will be fun!
Preparing for summer travel
Now preparations are underway. Are we packing? Well, not quite yet. To be able to travel, you have to finish things at home. First we have a lot to do before web shops which will open shortly after returning home.
So, we didn't really know what we were getting into when we started the webshop project. So a lot to arrange about building a website, agreements for payment solutions, agreements with partners, shipping, packages, rules about sales and thousand other things.
We are also starting to plan what we want to see and do during the trip. Thank you most humbly for all the fantastic tips that came in on yesterday's blog post about summer campervan trip! There seems to be so many nice and exciting things to see and do! We will try to collect all the tips in a smart way.
Best this week
The best this week was probably the celebration of Peter's 60th birthday on Blidö! In addition, it is of course fun to be able to plan for the summer trip. What can you highlight as positive from your week?
The week ahead
We're not quite rolling yet, but any day now! As soon as we feel ready, we're off on an adventure in Sweden. You can of course follow the journey here on the blog.

Lovely to have a "holiday" 🙂
The best thing this week has been that we are on the road again, even if we don't have the house with us, it works well with hotels too 😀.

Hi, there! Great to be on holiday! What's that "New Yorkish?" behind the computers?
The best of the week is probably that it was my first full week away from wage slavery 🙂 (which has certainly been fun..).
And meetings with wonderful children and grandchildren, lunchtime walks with the son's fine Doberman when the master works during the day, and lovely lunches with friends ... and repayments from cancelled trips... full pot on it so far... looking forward to the time and adapting to retirement life in the local area:-).

Hi Evy! It's our wallpaper in the kitchen in the houseboat 🙂 Nice to get a refund for the travelling!

The best thing this week must be the pool because it's hot in our house right now. But today it is a little cooler, only 27 degrees. 😀
Wonderful that the "holiday" has begun for Helena! And how interesting with your shop! Suspect that it is not directly things that fit into my life but will be interesting anyway to see what you fill / empty it with.
Have a nice weekend!

So nice with the heart in the sky. A brilliant idea!
It sounds like it will be a busy holiday for you. Don't you ever long for a real holiday of just resting, exploring and blogging?
But of course, I'll be riding shotgun with you again:-)

Have a really wonderful holiday! I also start my holiday now and will go around all our cottages in the north plus a trip to Linköping.
