A Woman of very little colour

that would be me. I looked at myself in the mirror the other day and realized that I was dressed in black and grey. This on a Sista' - don't think so. So I made a descision that as of now I will wear a lot more colour every day. So today is my blue day...
Tomorrow, being Friday I think I will go for red or pink.
It's November and the winter is upon us. Dark and cold - I wish there would be snow, that lights up the days a bit.

Looking around my office most people actually wears black. I wonder if it is typical Swedsih to wear black in the winter and white in the summer... Could be worth looking into.

Xmas we are spending in Egypt. Mr S found an All inclusive in Hurghada he liked. I didn't.
I found a hotel in Barcelona I liked. He didn't.
We agreed on a hotel in Luxor - Mr S gets his fix of sun and I get my fix of fine wines and culture- the Sofitel Winter Palace. We both liked it!

They have a "swim up bar" you know a bar in the pool. Mr S spent a day with a friend at a bar like that in Dubai. In the afternoon the staff had to swim out and get them. They were to drunk to swim. I would have loved to see that.
Of all the times I have been drunk out of my head I have only once (1) needed help to get home.
But that time I was totally wasted beyond anything.
Now thinking more about work and less about play - better get back to work.

Take care

Love/E

"I travel

therefore I am"

If you want to be ahead of the rest go to Tel Aviv this year.
According to Lonely Planet Tel Aviv is the third hottest place to travel to in 2011, New York is number 1. Since I was in New York already in 2010 I must be really it?!?!

Honestly, Tel Aviv doesn't really do it for me. I'd rather go to Tangier wich is number 2 on the list.
I suppose Paris and Rome are totally out.... for me Paris and Rome always works.

This Xmas Mr S wants to go all inclusive in Egypt and I want to spend a cava drench Xmas at a design hotel in Barcelona or a super luxorious long week end at the Hassler in Rome. They offer a harp concert. I have never heard a harp concert live - how cool wouldn't that be?!?!
And they serve 5 o'clock tea. I have already decided to wear my pink Prada cashmere sweater and black pants, while I sip a cup of Earl Grey and read a book.
I would spend all 3 days in this glorious hotel and never leave, unless to visit my lover Salvatore on Via Condotti.

I feel a bit bad about leaving town for Xmas as my parents will be all alone this year. Sis is going to spend Xmas with her boyfriend, his brother and family. I wonder what that'll be like. I'd love to be a fly on that wall during Xmas Eve.

What are your plans?

Take care

Love/E

A week end away


Spent a long week end at Södertuna Slott for some good food, relaxation and photo opportunities.

The room we got at first was quite small but Mr S charmed the receptionist so they gave us another room that was lovely. An old fashioned bathtub and a big bed.

The food was really good, got some cooking inspiration for our future dinner parties.
On Saturdat the weather was great so I went out to take some pics. Sweden on a sunny fall day is one of the most beautiful things you can see.
