Motorhome holidays in Poland and the Czech Republic
We have just returned from a motorhome trip in Poland and the Czech Republic. The trip was fantastic and we beloved really to be out in Europe and travelling again. But goodness knows it was an intense trip, so we probably would have needed to rest a bit when we got home. Was that the case? No, not really!
We work and maintain the houseboat
We try to focus but it is a bit messy right now. I (Helena) am trying to work (which I do from home via the computer) and Peter is trying to do maintenance work on the boat. But we get interrupted most of the time it seems.
When everything happens at the same time
The houseboat needs to be maintained with sanding and painting (we've been putting it off for a while). At the same time, the light on Peter's electric bike broke, as did the exhaust pipe and the windscreen wiper motor on the motorhome. The last time the windscreen wiper motor broke down, it became very dramatically. This time it was just very expensive.
We haven't had time to fix all the faults on the motorhome yet, as Peter's brother was going to borrow it for the weekend. Instead, we cleaned, emptied and filled the water, so we could lend it out without feeling ashamed. Soon there will be another trip with the motorhome, because then we will help Peter's mum to move and arrange all the practicalities of the move. We will also help Peter's older brother build a house. And did I mention that my mum is moving too?
Speaking of the family, we can tell you that Peter's youngest brother is about to enter the company with his business. It's not easy, and there are endless discussions with the accounting firm. We have no idea how it will turn out. At the same time, Peter's youngest son wanted to borrow money for a puppy and Peter's eldest son had a birthday. We want to celebrate that, of course!
At the same time, a thousand other things are happening. One of our neighbours is in conflict with the marina, which affects us who live here. A friend and journalist is starting a newspaper and wants us to be co-editors. Very funny of course! The "spring collection" for web shops is going on, and we have to schedule a meeting to look at materials. And then there was probably something else, I don't really remember ...
Museum tips on class trip website
As you may know, we have visited quite a few museums in Stockholm. We received a request from Kaffekassan.se, a company that helps classes and teams make money, to share our best museum tips for a class trip, which we have now done. If you are curious about our museum tips for school classes, you can read them here here.

When we followed your trip on the blog, we understand that it was intense, but so fun to get out! We read tips about travel destinations in Poland and the Czech Republic with great interest and hopefully there will be a trip south next year!
Understand that you are busy at home too.
My best thing this week has been three days in beautiful Vadstena with the best girlfriends in an incredible autumn weather!

Full speed ahead for you! But sometimes you might want to put the brakes on a bit to help you out.
It has been a fantastic week for me in terms of both weather and experiences. Long walks on Djurgården in different rounds, boat trips, meeting with friends and a very nice trip by train to Västerås for book club and lunch at the delicious "Steam Hotel". And some work in between.

I get tired just reading your post. I don't understand how you can stand it. Just don't go into the wall Helena. I mean you have a "real" job to do too. Guess you would need to take a holiday, a real holiday without the rush and stress...

Yes, Helena, you and Peter know how to make the bed so you can lie down ?joking a bit but since I have seen how you struggle to get your days together, I guess you manage the autumn too ? We ourselves have been a lot on our new colonial cottage and carpentry, painting and fixing the cottage and trying to clear perennial mismanagement in the garden ... But now it is at least starting to look better?Hugs er❤️
