Welcome to our blogg.

We thought this would be a nice way to keep our friends and family updated about what we are up to! And for us to have some kind of diary, to save for the future when we move back home to Sweden. We choose to write in English so all our friend could read it=) (and it's also good practice for me)

About us

Dubai
We are a family of four, and one dog and six guinea pigs (and one cat that lives in Blentarp, Sweden) We moved to Dubai a year ago, Henrik is working here and Ingela is a housewife and both children are in school. Victoria is 7 years old and Cornelia is 5 years old. They are in grade 1 and 2. When they started school here, Victoria just started school in Sweden and didn't speak any English and Cornelia where still in kindergarten in Sweden and didn't speak any English either. Now a year later they speak English and writes and read English as well. They also learn Arabic in school. After some difficulties it seams like they enjoy school and our life here, and that feels very good. If they like it here it's easier for us to also relax and enjoy our stay here in Dubai. And now we have one more member of our family, a streetcat named Stripy, Findus, Nisse, Tiger and Findus=), and also one more guinea pig has died, so 5 guinea pigs left.

Back in Dubai

Long time no see!
we have been in Sweden since the 21 of June until the 2nd of September.
It has been a great time and the wether has been good, much rain and
quite cold=).
Henrik has only been home the last three weeks during this time I was
working, not so good planning!
The girls are home another couple of days, they start on the 13th of
September.

Long time no see=)

So, this is the last day ( at least for a month) of my summer holiday
here in Sweden. Tomorrow I'll start working for a month, and that will
be great fun both to get my brain back in shape and to see my working
colleges again.

And the wearher today is windy and some rain and very very cold. But I
must say we have had lovely summer weather here since we came so some
colder weather is not so bad. The only thing is, I was planing to
bicycle the 16 km to work, but in this wind I think I will reconsider
that=)

And now I have to go out and catch our tent, wich has blown in to the
horses field.

Sweden

Has been in Sweden for a little bit morr then two weeks now. And we
are really enjoing ourselfs. It's so nice all this green nature around
us.
We have been celebrating Cornelia turning six and midsummer, and we
have had very nice weather as well.

This summer I'm going to work for one month, I'm really looking
forward to that.

We have also been a couple of times at " sandby badet" , it's the
place to be during summer. We meet friends we only meet here, so it's
nice to get an update=)

Last week

So finally, last week before summer holidays, how nice it is.
This weekend both Victoria and Cornelia had friends sleeping over on
Friday. And on Saturday evening we went to the beach in Um Suqeim 1 to
play with a friend of Cornelia. Really nice to be down at the beach in
the evening, when it's only around 30 degrees.
This morning was probably the last walk in the sand with Enja and her
friends until after the summer. She really loves to run a round and
play, after an hour walk they are all exhausted.
I'm counting days now til we are in Sweden, 8 days left!

More guine pigs.

So the other day we had three more guinea pigs. I have lost track of
how many there are now somethings around 15.
The other morning there where only one male in the cage, and I thought
good one less. And yesterday evening the doorbell rang and our neighbor
came back with him, hm. Her cat was playing with him in her garden.
Henrik will stay in Dubai til August so I really hope he will do some
thing about it.
Today Victoria has a play date and tomorrow both girls have friend
over, and on Saturday we will go to the beach with a friend of Cornelia.
Lucky we have kids, what would we do otherwise=).
And next week is the last and finally summer holiday. Looking forward
both to sleep in mornings and no more making lunchboxes and coming
home.

Sweden national day


Today we are celebrating Sweden's national day and I think I will serve "Jansson's temptation". I was checking for THE national course, but found out that it seems like we have a new course every year.
So from now on Family Broman's national course is Jansson's temptation.
Cornelia is home sick today, she has a bad cold.
Will also try to find the national song so our children learn it. They already know UAE's, because they play it every day in school!!

See you!
