out and about...
dinner at two skybars with friends! himlen, the skybar at skrapan, was a treat with its swedish-french menu. my fish was gorgeous as were the cocktails. it was the first time that i gathered with more than just one friend and we were all so happy to finally be together. in my neighouhood, the newly opened sjöstaden skybar was lovely. i loved its open and airy space. the fish here was delicious, so good and my friends say the steak was perfectly cooked. being just a skip and hop away from home, i think we will frequent this place often. of course, the views were super cool.
two date night in södermalm! we tried the new to us symbios, a cute restaurant just by nytorget, serving modern european food. sitting on their patio, we ate really well but what stands out is the freshly baked crispy bread... just excellent. and, lucky us, they sell their loaves during the week. i also remember stefan realizing, on the walk home, that our bill was way more than we ate. it turns out they charged us for three bottles of wine instead of three glasses but they happily reimbursed us and graciously comped us the glasses of wine. again, we found ourselves on a patio in the nytorget area, actually, the whole street is one giant patio, we love being out and about here in the summer. stefan and i had a lunch date at shanti gossip. it might be my favourite indian place although my boys might argue indian street food is the favourite.
i finally tried the ice cream from magnus johansson's new gelato place, just down the street from us. it was as good as expected coming from him. he is a beloved pastry chef here in sjöstad.
with work finished, it was lovely to just roam the streets and walk into shops for a spot of shopping, a favourite pasttime of mine. the first picture is one of my go to shops, tambur, where you can always find the perfect gift.
at home...
with their kitchen under renovation, we cooked dinner for our friends ximena, petter, and their girls. stefan's bbq ribs and smoked shrimp, kött kultur's meat, despina's dill salad, the coop's potato salad and cecelia's strawberry cake made for a lovely dinner. cece came by earlier in the day to bake since she hasn't been able to at home and we are so glad that she did, her desserts are to die for.
we eat on the balcony whenever stefan barbeques, he makes awesome kebabs. or, to enjoy an aperitif (svart is pictured). and, kai and stefan installed new decking tiles! it looks so much cleaner now, makes me happy.
loving my gubi mirror and vases filled with greenery and summer flowers. loki wants no part of this pic and escapes as soon as i snap the picture.
ylva and loki in their summer positions... sprawled across the floor here and there and everywhere.
ylva in the shade and in her new favourite tent which we keep by the balcony door so she can watch the birds, her favourite pasttime.
loki always looking for food...
in just a few days we, FINALLY, after 20 months and now fully vaccinated, go on vacation outside of sweden. woohoo! see you back here at the end of the summer :) have a lovely time and stay safe.
