Ahhh lång dag. Började 8:30 på morgonen och ungarna var för pigga för sitt eget bästa. Och jag är INTE en morgon människa (skulle göra vad som helst för att få vara det). Men runt 9:30 efter jag tagit musli och en kaffe drog vi till parken och blev piggare medan jag satt i solskenet och kollade på när dom lekte i sanden. Och när Tess slogs för att andra ungar vela låna hennes leksaker (STORT misstag av ungarna). Sen blev det lunch, ungsbakad lax med quinoa och melon till efterrätt. Efter Tess hade tagit en tupplur fick jag ta dom till dans och musik lektionerna. Det är mormorn som har gjort det under vintern, men nu har hon flyttat till hennes sommarställe i Nice så nu är det jag som får göra det igen. Inte kul. Men har kommit på att ta med mig deras i-pad, vilket lyckas hålla dom lugna medan dom väntar på varandras lektioner. Så nu, runt 19:30 slutade jag! Woo.
Tess' birthday present from me; a play-doh macaron making machine.
Went to Bois de Boulogne to read the other day...wasn't as peaceful as I'd imagined with joggers, dogs, kids, bikes, ponies and other things running by. People didn't mind staring at me as they walked by either.

Var i Spanien i helgen för att hälsa på Viktor i Granada (där jag bodde under fyra år när jag var yngre). Det var jättekul att vara tillbaks eftersom jag inte varit där på 6 år. Hade velat vara kvar längre..
När vi kom tillbaks till Paris på tisdag morgon fick jag hög feber och halsfluss. Har legat i min studio och känt mig döendes hela veckan men nu börjar det gå bättre. Har lite hemlängtan...men bara en månad kvar!
I went to visit Viktor in Granada in the weekend. Alhambra and Sierra Nevada in the background.
Trying beers and tapas in a cervezeria.
Tea and fresh orange juice in the arab quarters.
Stayed a night in Sevilla before going back to Paris.

Some more photos from Nice:
The grandparents knew a couple who were feeding a wild deer, so we went to see it. They just had to call "Bambi!!!" and it came running.
We got up to 27 degrees in the pool the last couple of days. I thaught it was warm when it was 21, but they said it was freezing and thaught I was a crazy person from the north...
My little "studio", looking down from the pool area.
Eating breakfast in the kitchen...on a clear day you could see all the way to the sea.

Hemma i Paris efter en 6 timmars tågresa med två barn (och mormorn). Känner mig liiiite trött på att hänga med ungar efter två veckor med en 5 och en 3 åring, och ser fram emot mina två Game of Thrones avsnitt och några koppar te som väntar mig ikväll. Men det var härligt också, mycket sol och bad. Och efterrätter...blir hård bantning och springning som gäller nu (säger vi). Min vecka i bilder:
My two weeks in south of France with the kids and the grandparents:
Tourrettes sur Loup, the nearest village to where the grandparents summerhouse is. Very cute little village in the mountains with amazing views and windy roads and people driving like maniacs.
One of my free days last weekend that i spent in Cannes. Lots of people, expensive shops and preparation for the big Cannes festival.
My second free day I spent on a three hour hike in the mountains on my own. There were signs saying to stay calm if any dogs were to approach me because they had guard dogs for the sheep that were walking around loose, and it needed time to "identify" me. Luckily, I managed not to bump into any dogs and came back alive. My butt hurt the day after though. Alot.
More pictures later. Too tired now.

Är i Nice med mormorn och barnen och har inte internet, så blir en lång uppdatering när jag kommer hem nästa söndag!! Ska ut och gå en 3 timmars stig i bergen nu, så skönt att slippa storstaden ett tag!
I'm in Nice with the grandma and the kids for two weeks, so I'll update when I get back next Sunday!
