I never imagined that I would see scenery like this while visiting the rainforest of Valparai. It was just incredibly beautiful and serene. A place I would love to visit again <:

A morning ride along the road led me into this colourful little village. It was the temple that led me here but I didn’t even get a picture of it. Once I started getting pictures of the village itself I almost forgot about the temple. Then it turned out it was closed anyway. But I had a nice stroll in the tiny village in the early morning.









Visiting tiny villages out in the country side is something I really enjoy. Especially in the mornings ……before the heat sets in and the sun is too bright for any pictures. Hope you enjoyed the visit today <:

So yesterday I saw all these wonderful wild strawberries in my garden and instantly I just felt the need to make macarones.

For my daughters wedding in 2012 I think I made 600-700 of these yummy treats. My colleagues at work kindly tasted all the different ones and gave me input on which where the yummiest ones. They never ones complained./ Till dotterns bröllop 2012 tror jag att jag gjorde mellan 6-700 av dessa superduper goda små tilltugg. Mina kolleger på jobbet ställde gladeligen upp och smakade på alla olika smaker och hjälpte till att bestämma vilka som var godast. Ingen gnällde över detta extra jobb.<:

It’s not the easiest ones to make ….but worth it in the end I promise./ De är inte de lättaste att få till ……men så värt det i slutändan. Lite champagne eller Prosecco …Oh my good <:

Glad Midsommar på Er

It’s 3 weeks postop my spinal fusion surgery and slowly, slowly I’m getting better day by day. Some days I have been doing to much and instantly my back tells me to slow down or actually cut it out, stop! / 3 veckor har gått sen min ryggoperation och långsamt så blir det lite bättre för varje dag som går. Jag har haft dagar som jag uppenbarligen gjort för mycket eftersom ryggen genast talar om för mig att ta det lugnt eller egentligen ,Lägg av!

Thursday I got to take out the surgical clips …14 of them ! Kind of felt like I had a date with a wasp but so nice that they are gone./ I torsdags fick jag ta ut agrafferna….14 st! Kändes lite som en date med en geting men sååå skönt att de är borta.

3 times a day I do a couple of “easy” exercises that my the physiotherapist recommended me to do. Can’t wait until I meet her in a week and get to do some more. That’s really the start of my rehabilitation. / 3 ggr om dagen gör jag några “lätta” övningar som min sjukgymnast rekommenderade. Om en dryg vecka ska jag träffa henne igen och det är starten på min rehabilitering och det ska bli underbart att komma igång med lite mer träning.

Walking is good for the body when recovering from spinal fusion surgery. Todays walk was actually the longest one since the surgery. I don’t walk fast so I do take in the scenery and since I always bring my camera I decided to get some pictures of the different wild flowers I found along the walk./ Att promenera är bra för kroppen när man återhämtar sig efter en stor ryggoperation. Dagens promenad var faktiskt den längsta sedan operationen. Jag promenerar inte fort så jag tittar verkligen mig omkring och dessutom har jag ju alltid min kamera med mig så idag bestämde jag mig för at ta lite bilder av de olika vilda blommorna jag såg under promenaden.
Mother nature sure is fantastic. Colors, beauty and a little lady bug which is almost the first I have seen this summer but also a tired bumblebee./ Moder jord är fantastisk. Färg, skönhet och faktiskt en liten nyckelpiga som jag knappt har sett detta året och en trött humla.
Do you know what flowers it is?/ Vet du vad det är för vilda blommor?

The last couple of days I have mostly spent in bed. I’ve had some not so good days with low blood pressure and pain./ Jag har haft ett par dagar som inte varit helt bra med lågt blodtryck och smärta. So no walks along our beautiful coast and no pictures !/ Så det har inte blivit några strandpromenader utmed vår vackra kust och inga bilder./ This morning though I had a short walk around our yard and found some giant poppies. love the colors and their infructescences./ Men i morse mådde jag lite bättre så det blev en kort promenad runt vår trädgård och hittade stora vallmo. Älskar dessa fantastiska färger och deras fröställningar.

and we started out our day by having a stroll along our riviera. Well, not the French one but looking at the picture you might think it is/ och vi började dagen med en promenad längs vår riviera, inte den franska, men man kan ju faktiskt tro det när man tittar på bilden

22 degrees C in Sweden at 7.30 in the morning on the 3 june !! has never happened before and I don’t think it will ever again. felt like I was walking along the beach in France with the azure blue water calling on me to get in. Since it’s only been 6 days I still have to wait a while before getting in.

I promised my hubbie though that I’ll join him and watch when he gets in for the first time this year. While looking at facebook I saw that some friends of mine where on a swimcamp….I actually wished I was there !….maybe a goal for next year ?

I guess I have to start out by seeing my physiotherapist first and that’s in a month….until then I’ll do my walks and some minor core exercises. This morning though was 1495 steps and that’s 6 days postop.

Today it’s 4 days postop. Monday the 28th may I underwent spinal fusion surgery at Aleris in Ängelholm. I spent a little more than 24 hours in the hospital and then it was time to hit the road and get back home again. I did prep for the ride since it’s an hour and forty five minute drive to home. Picked up some medication at the pharmacy on the way also. These first days I’ve been taking a high dose of everything they gave me. I decided early on that I’m not going to be in unnecessary pain. The year leading up to surgery totally wore me out pain wise.

I got instructions to walk and move around but not to overdo it. 500 meters and a max of the double. This mornings workout was a slow power walk to the pier and back home some core exercises. Then it was time for some coffee and a nap.

the answer about what to expect ” I haven’t got the slightest idea”. I just do.

I’m in bed recovering after having major surgery done to my back so there’s not much I can do for a while. Happy that the surgery is over and that it went well. It was quite stressful up until they put the mask over my nose and they told me to fill my lungs with air. All of a sudden I’m awake on the other side of surgery feeling like I was hit by a truck. / Ligger i sängen efter en steloperation av min rygg och kan jag inte göra så mycket. Glad att operationen är över och att det gick bra. Jag var helt klart stressad hela vägen fram tills de la masken över min näsa och bad mig att fylla mina lungor med luft. Plötsligt befinner jag mig på andra sidan av operationen och det känns som att jag krockat med en noshörning.
