first week of january

First week of January. I spent it with some of my favourite humans. Here they are:


In case that wasn't obvious from the New Year's photos, we brought Raphael with us back to Gothenburg after Snowball and then he stayed with us for almost a whole week. Both Liam and I were still tired after our Christmas colds, so it wasn't the whirlwind of activities and nature we could have had, but wow, it was still so amazing to get that amount of time together. Since Liam and I moved back to Sweden from Manchester in 2019 we've been able to see him for a few days per year; ten days in a row was an intense luxury.


Since we didn't really "do much" I didn't take a lot of photos, but here he is air playing Bach (bloody organists <3) in my favourite café :)



Too soon it was time for him to go back to Leeds. It's extra hard when we don't know when we'll see each other next.


People are my favourite!


In other news, I got a haircut!

And me and my gang went to the Twelfth Night's ball at the opera as usual. I didn't feel like lugging my DSLR around so I chose to make do with my phone. All the group photos look something like this:





I think this one is the most decent one even though I could only make two out of five people look in the same direction at the same time :)


The boys handled it well though! (There's a first time for everything - it's usually them I complain about. :))

And then dancing!


The day after, we had our traditional post Twelfth Night's Ball hangout in Utby, and it was such a beautiful day that Lisa and I decided to meet up in Gamlestan and walk there.







There was fika!



And hugs. :)
