Living on Östermalm

Olivers first own  snowball

We moved into the flat where we are going to live this year on the first of January.

Unpacking went well and after a few days we settled in nicely.
Jessica and Anurag stayed with us until the 4th when they left to go visit Milan for a few days.

Oliver and I went on walks to Karlaplan to go shopping.
The plan is to not have a car this year. The flat is centrally located in Stockholm and public transport is very good around here. We will be using taxis to get home after nights out and rent a car when it is needed.

I was given a "dramaten-vagn" which is a trolley to take your shopping in - it is great in size and whatever I can fit in the supermarkets larger basket (the one on wheels) will fit in my trolley.

Food shopping

It is very different to shop in smaller quantities, as I am used to shopping weekly, with the car, for a family of up to 5 people.
It takes some getting used to, now after a week in the flat, it is easier. And the shop is not far and it is not difficult to walk down to the shop to do a small shop every other day.

We invited Kerstin, Svante and Stina over for dinner at the flat and had a lovely evening.
