Good morning, good afternoon, good evening! Wherever & whenever you’re reading this. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Wahh it is already October… Spooky right! (Not sorry)

Today, I’ve had the pleasure of showing Evie around Gothenburg a little, it has been lots of fun!

We walked to a really cool cafe near me called Alkemisten, highly recommend the vegan sandwich!

Following our little date, we took the ferry across to the city centre to explore some more, stopping at a vinyl store, an amazing shop called Thrive - I think I have a good amount of my wardrobe from there now. Then just pottering around the other stores, including one originally from Liverpool… Pop Boutique!

Lunch/dinner was then on the cards, so Olivia’s on the avenue was our restaurant of choice. Highly recommended, the food was amazing (asking for pizza without cheese is becoming a favourite of mine).

Next on the agenda was a impromptu ice hockey match… Evie’s first, which did not disappoint. Sadly the local team lost, but it was a close 4-3 result, and lots of Oohs and songs from the crowd (Sidenote: I love how the fans mingle, it is a really safe space and everyone is there to enjoy it). Plus in one of the intervals, some children started playing which led Evie to comment on the “cute little goalies!”.

Post hockey, we stumbled into the cinema to use the bathroom before thinking about heading home, until we randomly decided to go watch the film Bullet Train, which included Evie asking the usher is the film dubbed in Swedish… a sensible question, but it was just subtitled in Swedish, even the bits spoken in Japanese and Spanish, so we had no hope for some of it.

Now for some rest and onto tomorrow. I hope you all had a great day.
