Jag kommer inte på ett bra ord på svenska som beskriver hur vackert det är på väg till, och i den lilla byn Fornalutx. Breathtaking är precis vad det är! Lugnet och tystheten (som ibland bryts av bräkande får och getter) är bara hur härlig som helst. Behöver jag ladda batterierna nån gång vet jag var jag ska ta vägen. Vi åkte hit för att hälsa på vänner som semestrade här. Vi hade en jättemysig eftermiddag med lek, bad, vin, snack, grillning och som avslutning, en glass på torget i byn. Innan vi körde de slingriga vägarna tillbaka i mörkret..
I can not think of a better word to describe the small village of Fornalutx, than breathtaking. The peace an quiteness here (occassionally disturbed by bleating goats or sheap) is just so lovely. When i need to recharge next time, i know where to go! This time we went here to visit friends that were spending their holiday here. We had a very nice afternoon and evening, that we ended with icecream at the small square, before hitting the winding roads back, in the dark..

SVETTIG VECKA...
I måndags började Malcolm i andra klass på svenska skolan. Ny årskurs, ny fröken, nya kompisar och fortfarande över trettiograder varmt.. Det sätter sina spår och igår morse var en tuff morgon för vår store lille kille.. Efter skolan gick jag och Malcolm ner och badade bort allt det jobbiga denna veckan. Vi hade supermysigt och havet är alldeles underbart ljummet nu, men man märker att hösten är på väg med sitt vackra ljus.
Monday was the first day for Malcolm in second grade at the swedish school. New grade, new teacher, new friends and on top of all that it's still above thirty degrees.. This resulted in a little break down from our big little guy yesterday morning.. After school, him and I went down for a swim. We had a really nice time and all the tough stuff from this week was cleansed. The sea is absolutely wonderful right now and you can tell that autumn, with it's lovely light, is around the corner. Even if it's still really hot.

NY STRAND
Just nu är det varmt! 30 plus och fuktigt. Härligt. Men det är bara två ställen som funkar att vara på utan att smälta sönder. Inomhus i aircondition eller på stranden. På kontoret är det svalt och skönt, men eftersom Malcolm har haft sommarlov (sista dan idag!) så försöker vi jobba fram till lunch och sen hitta på något på eftermiddagen. I onsdags testade vi en ny strand. Cala Falco, som ligger mellan Magaluf och Sol de Mallorca. En liten strand i en djup vik. Fantastiskt mysigt och fint! Där fanns tom en schyst beach bar / restaurang och en hel del skugga från pinjeträden. Här är tydligen aldrig jätte mycket folk, vilket kan vara skönt i högsäsong då det verkligen är trångt på vissa stränder. Vi snackar packade sillar! Men hit kan vi absolut tänka oss att åka igen!
Right now it's hot! 30 plus and very humid. I love it. But, there are only two places that are bearable without melting. Indoors in air conditioning or at the beach. At the office we keep it nice and cool, so we have been able to work. But as Malcolm has been on summerbreak (last day today!) we've tried to work until lunchtime and then had the afternoon of. On wednesday, we tested a new beach, Cala Falco. It's located between Magaluf and Sol de Mallorca. A small beach in a deep bay. Very beautiful! There was even a cool beach bar/restaurant and a lot of shade from the surrounding pine trees. This beach is apparently never really crowded, which can be nice to know in high season, when it is really crowded on some beaches. We are definitely going back to this one!

NÅGRA DAGAR PÅ ÖSTERLEN
Våra två Sverige veckor gick som vanligt alldeles för fort. Och i vanlig ordning hann jag inte träffa alla jag ville.. Har dock vant mig lite vid tanken att det nog kommer bli så varje gång, men det känns ändå surt! Fast vi hann ju med en hel del också. Några dagar spenderade vi hos min pappa, hans fru och deras valp Love, på Österlen. Vi hann både mysa, fika, fota pappas gitarrer till nya hemsidan (visar mer sen) och Malcolm och morfar fick en massa kvalitetstid i verkstan, där det byggdes vapen.
The two weeks in Sweden went by way to fast and as usual i didn't have the time to see all the people that i wanted to.. I've kinda' gotten used to thought that that's the way it will be, but still it sucks.. But we did managed a lot of stuff though. We spend a few days with my dad, his wife and their puppy Love at Österlen. Except for quality time with grandpa in the workshop, making weapons (!) we had time to just hang around, going out for lunches and a lovely photo session with my dads guitars for his coming website (will show you later).

EN REJÄL DOS SVERIGE
Ni som följer mig på instagram har sett att vi är i Sverige. Det har redan gått en vecka men vi har en vecka kvar. Jag njuter av känslan att jag har god tid på mig att hinna allt jag tänkt! Vi får väl se om teorin håller.. :) Hade rejält med hemlängtan denna gången så det är verkligen superhärligt att vara här!
For those of you following me on Instagram it's no news that we are in Sweden. We have already been here for a week but we have one more left. I'm enjoying the feeling that I have plenty of time to manage all that I have planned! But let's see if that will be the reality.. :) I really longed to go home this time, so I'm taking in every minute!

JOBB FÖRST OCH SEN SOMMARLOV
Ny business och sommarlov hör inte riktigt ihop.. Men oftast blir det jobb fram till lunch och eftermiddagarna vid pool eller havet. Och helgerna är heliga! Om vi inte måste, så jobbar vi inte då. Dessutom har vi haft vänner och familj här i omgångar som vi försökt att hänga så mycket som möjligt med. Många trevliga middagar har det blivit! Kameran hänger inte med jätteofta, men mobil bilder har jag gott om. Vill du följa mig på instagram heter jag fiasanden.
A new business and a kid on summer break for ten weeks is not the best combination.. But we have found a balance in working mornings, until lunch and then spending the afternoons by the pool or at the beach. And the weekends are always off! We have also had some family and friends visiting us and the island, so we have of course spent as much time as possible with them. We have had so many nice dinners! I don't always bring the big camera but I have tons of pics in my phone. If you want to follow my instagram, I'm called fiasanden.
