Now we are in the process of fixing the houseboat and training, and it feels like really good. And of course there's plenty of work to do, as usual, which we can do while the sun is shining and the water is lapping. Happy Friday!

Fix, renovate, clean ...
Right now we have a big focus on home improvement in the houseboat. We have hardly been home all year, and there is a great need for cleaning. It also feels like everything is breaking at the same time. In some cases, it's also the case that we've left things alone for too long ... But now it's time to repair, fix and tidy up!
We started by replace the broken washing machine. This week we ordered a new sofa bed and got some storage solutions for Peter's desk.
We have also cleaned the kitchen and run a whole bunch of washing machines. Peter has also cleaned the windows and washed the boat.
Exercise ...
We have finally started training again. We are really periodic when it comes to exercise, and unfortunately we have difficulty getting it done when we are out with the motorhome. Of course, we should be able to go jogging then too, but we often arrive late and have a lot of writing to do, and we don't always have access to a shower. Yes, we know, excuses ...
But here we go! For the past week we have been going out once a day, for jogging interspersed with a brisk walk. Even though we started quite gently, we have training pain everywhere. So this is needed we can say! We are so untrained ... But it's good to be up and running again. Happy Friday!
Work ...
Of course, we have to work too. Even though we love working on our travel magazine FREEDOMtravel, it's also our job. It's not just writing, but also bookkeeping, invoicing, email correspondence with companies, video meetings, managing adverts and sponsored content, editing, updating the site, updating presentation materials, preparing for fairs and lectures, etc. etc.
In addition, I (Helena) write articles on behalf of another company, and if you are curious about what this is about, you can take a look here. It's always busy, and it's often difficult to find the time!
Best this week
Not everything is fun and positive every day. Life also contains a lot of challenges and setbacks. But often positive things also happen, and we believe in constantly trying to consciously reflect on what is positive and good. Because yes, even if a lot of fun and exciting things happen in our lives, we are also "good" at thinking about everything we should have done better, everything we haven't done, all the setbacks and all the criticism, so that's why we choose to highlight the "best of the week".
Best this week? We are super happy that we have started training again! We are also happy that we have started cleaning and fixing our home. I also finished an article this week, two days before the deadline... Happy Friday!
Your turn... What can you highlight as positive from your week?
The week ahead
In the coming week, we'll be hanging out in the houseboat and the calendar includes everything from motorhome servicing to meetings and events. On FREEDOMtravel you can expect reports on both Norrland and abroad, and probably some guest articles. Hope you join us!
Here's wishing you a great weekend! Any nice plans?

Our four-week trip to the French Riviera starts now. Maybe we will stop at the cool canyon that Peter told us about at the motorhome fair.

We can understand that there is a bit to do at home too! Training is not easy, but on the trip we are on now, we have filled our daily dose with steps in often incredibly hilly surroundings. It is really needed when you sit for several hours in the car and also eat and drink well, even though we cook most of the food and try to make it reasonably healthy.
In the coming week, we'll start rolling north at a slow pace and we haven't quite decided which route we'll take and which stops we'll make, an advantage with a motorhome!
We wish you a very nice weekend!

Wishing you a continued good trip! Nice that you get to the walks! Hilly ground is good when you walk, becomes much more varied training!

I was in Canada last week and the best thing about the week was that I got to spend time with some friends, the weather was nice most of the time, the temperature was pleasant and we went to a very good concert.
