We have guests

Today our friends from Paris arrived to stay for a few days. From Skellefteå, way up in the north of Sweden. Axel, Astrid and I went to pick them up at the central station, while Kajsa and Vera got to hang out with their new best friends, the neighbours... Joy of joys, they got to go to the Älgö Tennis Tournament and watch Björn get beaten in mixed double, while eating pancakes with jam and whipped cream.
As well as our guests, another friend with her two children showed up so after an initial meatball lunch for the non-pancake eaters, they played and played and played. When it was time for Sophie to take her two kids home, her car wouldn't start. We lent her mormor's car and hope fully she'll be able to sort it out tomorrow. And we hope mormor won't mind.
After dinner we went to the grocery store - as you do at 6.30pm with 6 children - where I managed to leave my wallet, passport and mobile phone in the cart when we were done, and drive away... but since this is a Nice and Orderly Suburb in the Nice and Orderly Sweden, somebody named Martin had found them and was on his way over with them, when I rushed back into the store.
All children gratefully collapsed in their beds and fell asleep on contact, except Kajsa. Hopefully she'll sleep in tomorrow.
