What are you looking for?

What's on your Errand List?? 🍒🔥🇩🇰☀️ Happy Thursday from Copenhagen where the heatwave continues...I saw the supermarket had put the kids summer/beach toys in a chiller cabinet (see second photo)! 🤽‍♀️🤾‍♀️🤾‍♂️💦😂🇩🇰❄️☀️ Today is "Errand Day" in Flylady Land but it can be any day of the week which suits YOU! 👏😃🛒 What do you need to pick up from the chemist/pharmacist, buy at the supermarket, hand in to the library or get from the ironmonger/hardware store? A Spa Kit for your favourite pooch?! 😅🐕🐩 Our stores are full of seasonal summer items (parasols and window boxes) and "celebration" items are on offer (booze, candies, etc). Make a list/gather things before you head out the door to run Errands. Having a list/plan is a great time, money and stress saver! I handed in/picked up books from our fabulous local Danish library 📚📚📚 and my grocery list was short: milk, eggs, coffee ☕️ 🍳😍 What's on yours? Is it too hot to declutter? No! 😅🔥🌡🔥 Phew, we’re having a heatwave here in Copenhagen! 👋😄🇩🇰 Luckily I live on the coast and can skinnydip in the sea - enjoyed my breakfast (and a chapter of my book) there this morning 🤩☕️🍲🇩🇰🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚲🚲🚲🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️ But back to this week's Flylady Zone: we’re working on Flylady Zone 5, the living room for our detailed cleaning and decluttering. I found a couple of items to declutter there but it’s so hot today that I went down to our (slightly cooler) basement for a speedy 15 minute declutter! LOL! Founds lots of things to let go of (we are empty nesters) – plenty of donations for my friend Karren who is helping refugees 📦📦📦 Will you join me? After all, it IS Wednesday, Anti-Procrastination day! 😅 Let’s go! 🏃‍♀️💨💨 I will be your timer! You can watch the video by tapping on my Instagram Stories, use the link in my Bio or here 🎥 https://youtu.be/adXbO_8eR4w 👋😁 What's for dinner and where are you eating?! 🍒 Such a beautiful evening here in Copenhagen...the sting of the heatwave has left, so it's wonderful temperature for eating outside on the deck! ☀️🇩🇰🤩🏡 Mongolian Beef for us, quick, yummy and easy! 👏😋🍲 Tuesday is Flylady "Plan and Play " (set your timer for 15 minutes and go!) I plan our weekly menu, look ahead in the diary to see what's ahead, pay any bills which are due and - most importantly- plan a little fun! We all need something to look forward to! But back to dinner...see today's blogpost for a full rundown (with recipe links) of this week's menu! 👏🤩🥣🥦🍞🍆🥗 https://dianedenmark.com/2022/06/28/whats-for-dinner-menu-plan-28-june-2022/ 🍳🍒🍌🥐 What's for breakfast? 👋😃 Breakfast bike ride and skinnydip seaswim with my Besties, Vibeke and Helene! 🚲🚲🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️⚓️🤩 Very hot here in Denmark right now! ☀️🇩🇰 Vibeke had eggs, I had "koldskål" (a type of buttermilk) with Swedish crunchy biscuits, Helene was on yoghurt with toppings 🍲🥣🍵 And I used my new mug! (Birthday gift from my kids) Cheers with a hot cuppa! ☕️😁 Sea 18c/64f, air 24f/75f 🚲l🌊🇩🇰 🍒⭐️🐿🐿 What's your self-care today? Crocheting a Granny square, leafing through a glossy magazine, enjoying a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows? 👋🤩 Mine was a few minutes talking to our red garden squirrels! 🐿🐿🏡 They were super hungry today (almost knocking on our back door 😅) and they looooove Danish ryebread and sunflower seeds. Hooray, they managed to live another day and avoid the pesky neighbourhood foxes! 🙃 I love our red squirrel family! 😍 Self-care doesn't have to cost money or take a lot of time. Just breathe for a few minutes 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🧘 So, what's your self-care moment today? 💖 How do you feel about summer? 👋😁👒☀️ Excited, anxious? Are your kids at home, are your recently retired? 🧒🧒🧒🏡Does it change your daily routine? Join me for a hygge lifestyle chat across the kitchen table here in Denmark 🍒🇩🇰🕯 ...how to not only survive summer but THRIVE! Plus, how I celebrated my birthday and what the family bought me 🤩🎁🎁🎁 You can watch the video by tapping on my Instagram Stories, use the link in my Bio or here! 🎥 https://youtu.be/OPDBmsgKQmw 👋🤩 What would you be tempted to buy, for yourself or as a gift? 🎁 More photos from our 24 hour girls road trip (to our Swedish summerhouse 🏡🌊) and I just had to show Sue and Erika @erikabirch_artanddesign my favourite Swedish small store 😍 The owner is so sweet and knowledge! @thirase We may have bought quite a few gifts 😁 🎁🎁🎁🎁 And just look at these fabulous retro bathing rings...my fave is the dark blue ⚓️🌊🌊🌊🌊 In the end I bought (another) hammam towel for myself (Grecian blue, same as I bought for Vibeke's birthday) as an early birthday gift to myself 😄 plus, of course, some of my favourite Maison Belle cleaning sprays for the summerhouse...skoosh, skoosh! 💦🧹 @maison_belle_dk More fun on our "24 hour mini midsummer" trip to Sweden with Sue and Erika! @erikabirch_artanddesign 🤩🇸🇪⛵️⛵️⛵️ Delicious lunch at Abbekås harbour on the south coast of Sweden! ⚓️🇸🇪 Hubby and I were here at Easter and I wanted to share this wonderful place with my friends 😁 Couldn't manage a dessert so we bought cakes from their bakery to have as our "fika" later. Yum! @bongskahuset "Bongskahuset" Are you celebrating the summer solstice?☀️ Have brought two of my very favourite people to my very favourite place! 🇸🇪👋🤩 Happy summer solstice from the south coast of Sweden! Erika and Sue are here with me at our summerhouse 🏡 😍 Leisurely alfresco dinner in the garden followed by a walk to the harbour along the beach 🐚🌊 Crystal clear sea for our skinnydip, we were the only ones on the beach at 11.45pm! 😍🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️💦 Going to sleep like logs tonight 🏡😴💤 Sweet dreams! More fun and adventures tomorrow!
