A PERFECT WEEKEND
It's rare that all the components for the perfect weekend come together during the same one. These pictures say it all.
Sometimes I have moments when I realise that I have turned into my mum. The latest example is this Saturday when I was so obsessed with having coffee in the sun that I dragged a kitchen chair into the garden and forced the McCutcheon siblings to follow. (It didn't quite work out as I planned; first they took pictures of me from the window, then they came out and stood around me and didn't at all understand what was so amazing.) Considering that it's the first spring in years that I'm not trapped in a London apartment I'm gonna make the most of it. Funnily enough when I called my mum later on she said that her and dad had their afternoon coffee in the forest, even though it's 0 degrees at home. "It's sunny and it's lovely with fresh air! People don't understand what lovely moments they miss hiding in their livingrooms." Maybe it's a Swedish thing. Maybe it's a Mummy Eva thing.
While Alex is at his grandma's putting up some shelves I told him that I have to work on some stuff. Really I'm making the most of my night off by having coffee, sweets and watching lots of episodes of Sex and the City.
There are so many SATC quotes that are completely spot-on. Here are two of my favourites.
"Honey, these bitches need to be put in their places."
"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they can find someone just as wild to run with."
