Where are my new friends?

This is Alva. Linn’s 6 year old cousin and new found best friend.

She is quite happy to be playing with her cousins Ava and Dante but she occasionally asks us about her friends in Singapore and Anan.

I didn’t think it matters so much to her until today, when she shared a ride with some young girls, she asked us if they can be her new friends.

Looks like we better step up and enrol her in a new school soon.



The rain is coming!

We have been spending quite a bit on rain gear. The rainy season is about to come and we have to equip the kids with proper rain gear and shoes. Apparently, umbrellas are quite ‘uncommon’ and people invest in proper rain gear here.

It is easy for the kids as they have cute stuff and we found some wellingtons that are fun and colourful.

But i must say that i have difficulty finding anything for myself. After spending quite a bit of time in the sports shops (a rather unusual place for me), i still cannot find anything that i approve or think it is ‘nice’ for the price.

Of course the issue is that while the kids are properly dressed for the wet weather, their mother will be soaking wet just because she finds rain gear ‘not quite her style’.

I guess I can always introduce the ‘umbrella’ to Sweden. 🙂
