introducing teddy

Teddy is 2 months old.
Teddy was found on the street and rescued by inspectors.

Ulrica and Ant was out for a walk in Sai Kung.
During this walk they went past a dog rescue place.
In the dog rescue place was Teddy.

Teddy looked at Ulrica and Ant with beautiful puppy eyes that said - take me home, please.

Ulrica and Ant took Teddy home.


Teddy is full of kisses, play, love and mischief.
He is always hungry and he likes to be cuddled.
And he likes his friend Kipper - they usually go to sleep together.

christmas 2010

Merry Christmas all!
Sorry for my silence, but it's been Chrsitmas and I've been eating :)
It came and went too quick as per usual, but it was full of good times though and in spite of staying in HK I managed to get a pretty good Christmas feeling going.
First there was a Christmas party.


Then there was Christmas eve full of good yummy Swedish food, glogg and snaps - and Santa made his way there as well and we got gifts (told ya I've been a good girl! :))





Then it was Christmas lunch on Christmas day with Swedish friends and the Swedish Christmas special with Donald Duck and friends.

Then another party.

And then a walk along the beach in Sai Kung - which led to a new stage in our life.
But more about that in my next post...

my inbox part 2

I wish it could be X-mas the year around!
An other nice email just arrived in my inbox - this time from a customer :).

Thank you so much for coming past the office earlier. It was lovely to see you as always!!!

Have a great xmas yourself. Happy holiday and please do take it easy.. u certainly deserve it!! Remember the comments i made about your passion and dedication.. so make sure you look after yourself during these days as well!!!

What do you think, should I show my boss and say salary increase please... After all, we're supposed to be nice and giving around Christmas right?! ;)

my inbox

In my inbox this mornign I had found the following message:

Dear Ulrica,

Wishing you and your family a wonderful christmas and a happy & properous new year. I would also like to thank you for all that you have done for me and for being a top manager, you're the best!

Oboy does a message like that warm up your heart!!
Especially on a day when you feel so tired and worn out that you want to cry.
Now I will be smiling all day instead. :)

cold

It's all of a sudden quite cold in HK. This morning was 5.8 degrees, the lowest so far this winter. It is also the lowest recorded in December since 1999.

5.8 degrees you say, that is nothing - but it is when there is no heating inside - I promise you!

Weather forecast for today - Fine and very dry. It will be cold. Moderate to fresh northerly winds, occasionally strong on high ground at first.

Outlook : Remaining cold tomorrow morning. Temperatures rising gradually early next week. So hopefully I'll be able to take my jacket off inside during the weekend.

hong kong lucia

Sweden's Lucia - slang dig i vaggen, because here comes Hong Kong's Lucia.
She might be quite old for a Lucia, but she did her job and held her head high and sang as beautifully as she could whilst the candle wax turned her hair white.

rugby boys

At 7 o'clock on Saturday morning my doorbell rang.
Outside was two drunk rugby boys that needed a bed for the night (well day to be more accurate, but in their jet-lagged and drunk bodies it was night).
They told me that they loved me and then both went to sleep fully clothed and the shoes were left on as well.

Last night they brought keys with them so no doorbell rang during the night/early morning, however shoes were still left on... That is on the one that made it inside... When Ant left for work this morning he found rugby player no 2 asleep in the street in the middle of the pavement with a woman stepping over him and 4 other little Chinese people stood staring at him. Rugby player no 2 was woken up and helped inside. And when I left for work an hour later rugby player no 1 had managed to take one shoe off and rugby player no 2 was in a bed.

Even my rugby player thinks that rugby boys are silly boys...

filling the gap

Got the keys last night and tonight's mission is to go up there so that I can measure the gap where the washing machine is meant to be.
The moving in process have started!

no-more mo's

Saturday was the D-day.
The D-day for the moustaches to come off.
Thank Christ!
And in true HK spirit they came off with a party.



As you can see some had already shaved there's off, but they were kind enough to show us other(much more attractive) parts of their body instead. The one to the right is obviously by far the best! No wonder I once heard one of my girlfriends say: Oh I would take my ring off for him... ;)

movember

For the last month I've been calling my boyfriend the Turk. Have asked him for a kebab now and then but he still hasn't delivered...
Thank god the Movember month is over and that stupid tach can be shaved off!
I really do hope they have raised awareness for cancer now, if nothing else they have managed to raise awareness of how ugly mustaches really are!

Anyway, who do you think should win?
I can tell you a secret already - I did n o t vote for Ant.

new home

We've paid a deposit today on a new house.
A new house with spare room and rooftop!

Who wants to book in a stay at Andersson's B&B? :)
