having mum and sister over for the weekend sure is something i've longed for a long time! so far they've treated me with hugs, fashion advice and quotes like "aren't there antelopes in denmark?!" and "what's the difference between 'main course' and 'hovedret'?"

i've fallen in love with this site. the videos are so good, and even if i'm no fashionista, i get so thrilled and will read it all this weekend. but first i'm going to finish my bubbles at the office, and then dance to usher, rihanna, r kelly and beyonce with the girls from work. oh copenhagen you...

today i tried to become danish. i went to skatøresund and said that i wanted a danish cpr-number, and start paying taxes in denmark. "hm", they said, "take a number, and see if you can do that here." fifty (yes, 50) minutes later, i left skatøresund with a number to call. next thursday, is apparantly the day i can become danish. wishing myself luck with that... anyways, as i'm preparing the billetto sweden facebook page, and the site to go live, i go through all these pictures i've forgotten about. realizing that i a) need to go on a concert soon, where i can bring my camera and get up close and b) can't wait to go picture crazy in mallorca and ibiza.

working pretty hard at the billetto office. getting the swedish website ready to go live. it's all very exciting, and i almost don't want to go on vacation. oh well, who am i kidding. i do. i really do. first we're off to mallorca for seven days, and the, and then ibiza for ten days. have never been to ibiza, and not to mallorca since i was fourteen. anything i have to do? should not?

in stockholm i've had lunch/dinner/snacks/drinks a few times at beijing8. they serve the best noodle salad, and tonight i tried making my own. not at all like theirs, but still the best meal i've made myself in ages. hands down to, me.
i stockholm har jag ätit lunch/middag/snacks och druckit öl flertalet gånger på beijing8. deras nudelsallad är bäst, och i kväll försökte jag mig på att göra något liknande. något liknande blev det, långt ifrån som deras, men fruktansvärt gott. här följer något som ska likna ett recept, som man får justera efter tycke och behov:
• strimla kycklingfilé fint och stek i olja tillsammans med five spices krydda (finns i välsorterade butiker). • låt svalna. strimla isbergssallad, morot och vårlök fint. • dressingen består av en halv finhackad, färsk chilli, tre matskedar sesamolja, två matskedar fishsauce, en tesked strösocker, juice från en lime, en matsked apelsinjuice, en krossad vitlöksklyfta och lite soja. • blanda ihop och låt stå kallt. • koka glasnudlar enligt instruktionerna på paketet. • lägg upp lite fint, gärna i en djup skål, och strö över färsta kryddor som koriander och basilika, och gärna lite sesamfrön. • häll över dressingen (snåla inte). - want the recipe in english? leave a comment!

sweet summery tune. i smell vacation. i smell red wine in mallorca, and white beaches in ibiza. soooon...

stockholm, wednesday morning last week, at five am. life as i love it.
june 23 @ 15:23.
the reception out here on the country side is pretty lousy right now, and we try to spend as much time outside as possible. but yesterday me and mum took mr angelo to laxvik, to show him where mum grew up adn where me and sister had the time of our lives when we were kids. well, we still do, just not as often.
june 23 @ 10:22.
from friday's happy midsummer! as swedish as it could get, with snaps, dancing like frogs and a little rain.
june 21 @ 09:38.
sooooo mr angelo won a fucking bronze lion in cannes! i am super proud, and can't wait to see what this brings. i sure would hire him any day... the "scratch poster" was created to launch a new device from urbanears, called "slussen".

got home from stockholm after four very intense days, and three even more intense nights. just re-packing our bags, as we're heading up to mellbystrand tomorrow to celebrate swedish midsummer and two ladies turning thirty years old. intense days calls for fresh fruits and vitamins:
kommit hem från stockholm efter fyra intensiva dagar, och tre änny mer intensiva kvällar. packar i princip bara om väskorna då vi åker upp till mellbystrand i morgon för att fira midsommar och att två vänner fyller trettio. intensiva dagar kräver färsk frukt och vitaminer:

enjoying the peace and quiet at hotell skeppsholmen, getting some work done before i'm heading to gröna lund and the final eurovision party. looking forward to meet all sweet colleagues again, and see what the suprise it is our dear executive producer has prepared for all of us...
njuter av lugnet och tystnaden på hotell skeppsholmen och får lite jobb överstökat innan det bär av mot gröna lund för den sista eurovisionfesten. ser fram emot att träffa alla söta kollegor igen, och se vad det är för överraskning vår kära exekutiva producent har förberett...

"åh vad det är skönt, när mitt stockholm är grönt", sjunger monica zetterlund. genom det öppna fönstret sipprar tonerna från en ensam saxofon in tillsammans med sommarluft av den svalare sorten. det spelar ingen roll hur många gånger jag säger till mig själv att jag ska testa något nytt. sluta släntra upp för götgatsbacken, snedda genom björns trädgård, gå mot rött över folkungagatan, vela om jag ska svänga in via kocksgatan eller bondegatan för att till slut stå med fötterna riktade mot ilcaffè. kanske är det för att kardemummabullen smakar så nedrans gott om man ber dem värma den i smörgåsgrillen. kanske är det för att deras trådlösa internet som heter "ilcaffe loves you". kanske är det för att nostalgin tränger sig på och vill ha sin beskärda del av stockholmsbesöket. kanske är det bara så att jag inte vet vart jag annars skulle vilja gå.
"åh vad det är skönt, när mitt stockholm är grönt", sings monica zetterlund. through the open window seeps the tunes of a lonely saxofone together with the summer breeze. it doesn't matter how many times i promise myself to try something new. to not stroll up götgatsbacken, take the short cut through björns trädgård, jaywalk across folkungagatan, argue with myself for a while about turning down kocksgatan or bondegatan to finally stand there, with my toes pointing at ilcaffè. maybe it's the cardamom bun that just taste so good if you ask them to warm it in the sanrwich grill. maybe it's their wifi being called "illcaffe loves you". maybe it's just nostalgia wanting it's share of my stockholm visit. or maybe it's just because i don't know where else i would want to go.
june 16 @ 20:41.
ok. one day i will do this properly. moving my blog to another platform, and make a proper copenhage guide. because this town is just the best. today we've had huge showers inbetween bright sunshine. me amd mr angelo has cleaned the whole flat, just like one should do on a sunday i guess, and are now getting ready for four days in stockholm. i did manage to head over to nørrebro for a coffee with alana as well, at a sweet little place on birkegade. it's called mahalle and also has a little shop. really friendly staff and even full of designer stuff, not too messy. if i were alana and sebastian i would go there every day, as they live just above. jealous!
june 15 @ 23:03.
so me and mr angelo almost killed each other by the time we were done, but we made it! love to do it yourself.
june 14 @ 13:11.
so depeche mode last night was very much awesome. on our way to parken we got a call saying that all nine of us were upgraded to golden circle! we found a great spot, close enough to the stage without getting squashed. one of my greatest experiences here in copenhagen so far! as i couldn't bring my camera, you're going to have to settle for these iphone ones, edited with the new vsco cam app.
june 13 @ 17:29.
tonight: depeche mode. this is my favorite song on the setlist.
june 12 @ 13:38.
tomorrow i'm seeing depeche mode live here in copenhagen together with all the angelos. looking forward to it very, very much, and am keeping my fingers crossed that the ticket i bought at blocket hasn't been sold to ten others leaving me bummed at the entrance. but i'm guessing that if you, as you meet to settle the payment/handing over ticket, bring your seven year old daughter to hand the buyer the ticket, ones moral should be high enough for me to relax. mr angelo composed a playlist on spotify with the setlist. going to listen to that now, and at the same time get some energy up for rosie rose's, mr angelo's little sister, birthday dinner tonight.
i morgon ska jag se depeche mode med hela angelo-klanen. det ska bli oerhört roligt, så jag hoppas att biljetten jag köpte på blocket inte sålts till en massa andra så att jag får stå där med mr angelos skägg i brevlådan. men jag gissar att om man vid mötet för själva utväxlingen av biljett mot pengar skickar fram sin sjuåriga dotter att lämna över den, så måste nästan moralen hos människan vara så pass hög att jag kan vara lugn. mr angelo satte ihop en låtlista på spotify med listan för setet. det ska jag lyssna på nu, och samtidigt tagga till för en härlig fördelsedagsmiddag i kväll för rosie rose, mr angelos lillasyster.
happy birthday rose!

leftovers from the day before yesterday, and, since yesterdays last episode of the third season of game of thrones has put me in that kind of mode where you ain't no where close to being able to watch anything thats deep or has a meaning, i've started watching the series nashville. country music, easy dialogue and hayden panettiere. now that's exactly what i can handle.
rester från förrgår och, i med att det sista avsnittet av tredje säsongen av game of thrones försatt mig i ett såntdär läge där jag inte har lust att se något som är det minsta djupt eller faktiskt har mening, så ser jag nashville. country, lättsamn dialog och hayden panettiere. precis vad jag klarar av just nu.

one of my favourite things in copenhagen:
june 9 @ 12:28.
the last of the very few pics from london. i really can't wait to get back to work tomorrow. so much that i have to do, so much that i want to do. and getting a every day routine feels soooo good! i suppose it's just what i needed, to actually start feeling at home here in copenhagen.
june 7 @ 11:16.
"l" to the "o" to the "n" to the... ooohh you know the rest. getting the most out of my last hours here, i've had three coffees this morning, and am now in the billetto office by old street, ready to go back to copenhagen in a few minutes. yesterday we worked hard, had gin and lemonades at netil house and then i met up with awesome åsa at bar kick. it feels kind of wierd being here as a guest, not a tourist and not someone who lives here.
june 6 @ 08:46.
and i'm up in the air! london is calling and i'm so excited as i haven't been there since june last year. i'm also very excited about the new vsco cam being released today. makes sharing iphone pictures on the blog much more fun! now, time for landing. edit: well, yes, of course they turned on the fastened seatbelt sign just as i hitting the publish button...

copenhagen is treating me well these days. sun, bbqs, friends and a job. it's funny how one thing just leads to another, and i'm really i big fan of karma and fate. thank's to my dear friend sebastian, i met his dear friend peter at a bbq and it turned out they needed someone like me for a job in june. i'll try and help the guys at billetto.dk out as much as i can. for that, i get to go to london for a workshop on thursday. very, very exciting! and the bbqs just keep on coming. these are pictures from saturday. thank you alana and sebastian for having us all!
june 3 @ 11:44.
new favourite tea!
june 2 @ 15:04.
copenhagen memories, part one: this is the café where i sat with perckie, waiting for mr angelo, just hours before i was about to meet his father and mother for the first time. almost two years ago, time flies!

as we have guests crashing our place, we're staying at morten and charlottes. which isn't bad, not bad at all.
