a weekend out and about.


its monday again. i have a short break between school and evening college and even though i only get to be home for like 40 min its still worth it.
2h on public transport today. its hard not to embrace the apathy that spreads through the bus/train when the doors close.
neither Facebook or instagram is working on my phone now. (freddys old phone). and you realize firstly that you don't really need it and secondly how much time you all of a sudden have on your hand. okay maybe not that much, but definitely a few minutes here and there. Add it up and i have now gained 40min of extra time today. what to do with it?
this weekend was great. early sat morning me and freddy got on the train to gothenburg. almost 4h later we got off and were completely bombarded by the rain and the wind. in the short walk from central station to the shopping centre i was soaked for the rest of the day.
i quickly came to the conclusion that people walk a lot slower here than in stockholm. they also keep their head up more and are not always walking alone.
we hung around in the city from 11.30 til 19.00. stores, food, stores, walking, coffee, stores, coffee, walking, coffee....you know. a day off with your husband.
we found da Matteo, the place that roasts and supplies the coffee beans to our favorite cafés in stockholm. it was a really cool place and then we went to all the vintage stores around it. i scored some amazing brown leather shoes.
eventually the time came around and we headed to sticky fingers, the place where Kadawatha was playing that night. i was the lighting operator so i checked out the gear. since it wasn't that much to work with i just helped out for a bit and then went for some more coffee.
i met elin milton, the wife to one of the guitarists in the band. one of the most amazing women I've known. we've been exchanging letters since summer and it was great to finally see each other again!
the gig went great. ill post a video they uploaded recently with footage from a festival-gig this summer.
sunday was mine and freddy's 1 yr anniversary. its crazy its already been one year. and its weird that there's still no snow when there was so much last year.
frida's (brothers fiancé) had her bachelorette party this sunday and i was so glad i was able to be there. we had a nice time in a jacuzzi with food and snacks. unfortunately i had to cut out early to catch the train back to stockholm.
gotta go to evening college now. haven't been in a while now! Had the surgery three weeks ago, then i was resting from that two weeks ago and last week me and the sound guy were setting up and were wondering why no one came. haha, turned out it was cancelled.
