Yesterday, I (Helena) visited Norrtälje, often referred to as the capital of Roslagen, on business. I work in the Stockholm County Council and since the county stretches from Södertälje in the south to Norrtälje in the north, there are sometimes longer journeys for meetings. After the meeting, the sun was shining in Norrtälje and I took a short walk along the Norrtälje river.

Yesterday was All Saints' Day and we visited the cemetery with my (Helena's) family, and then enjoyed a game menu at Skänkstugan in Täby. So today we will take some food pictures, and at the same time we will (unexpectedly) immerse ourselves in chemical elements. Or well, we'll stay pretty superficial to the subject ...

I quite often, work permitting, work from home on Fridays. Yesterday I was working intensively on a document I needed to finish, and in the middle of the day I felt I needed a break to clear my head. It was a walk along Hornsberg beach - with my camera at the ready, of course. So ... follow me through Hornsberg beach park and to Sandö Sugga lighthouse!

Last Saturday we enjoyed a seafood buffet at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, together with Peter's son Robin, his wife Alexandra and their friends Robin and Elin. It has long been a "tradition" for us to visit the Grand's seafood buffet every other year or so, and some of the family always book a bunch of tickets for the following year.

Want to try a really good brunch in Stockholm? Then we can recommend restaurant K4 in Pampas marina in Solna. As you may know, we live in a houseboat here. There is a restaurant down here in the marina and last spring it got new owners. We have long thought that we would visit the new restaurant, but it has not happened until Sunday, when the restaurant invited us residents to brunch. Wow, we just say! If you want high quality brunch in an idyllic setting - then you should definitely come here!

Yesterday we tried sushi on a conveyor belt in the Mall of Scandinavia in Solna. Or rather, Peter has actually tried it before, but this time he took me with him. We were going to shop for some clothes for once and at the same time we thought we would take the opportunity to eat sushi - on a conveyor belt. Really fun, I must say. And yes, good too!

On Sunday we came home late in the evening (read: night). On Monday morning it was time for me to go to work and for Peter to start with blog work, invoices, meetings and fixing the houseboat. This week has really gone sooo fast. We still have a lot to be happy about! Today there will be another film from Wismar and a report both from our houseboat and from the new commuter train station in Stockholm.

This week has been a bit different because Peter and I have been apart, and we're not used to that. I'm at home working and Peter is building a log house on an island in Lake Mälaren. So what's "Happy" about that?

We've tried brunch at the Hobo Hotel. Last Saturday, after the big event at the Sheraton hotel In Stockholm, a small group of bloggers met for brunch at the new design hotel Hobo Hotel on Brunkebergs torg. We met some of our best travel blogger friends and at the same time could enjoy really good food in the sun on Hobo's relaxed outdoor terrace.
