Kaiya's feeling little different / いつもと違う感じのKaiya Oct. 31

Oooooh I was sooooo exhausted yesterday.

I worked almost 12 hours, and I just fell asleep on the sofa last night.

Early in the morning, even before my alarm went off, I thought I kicked something and opened my eyes.  There Mato was sleeping by my feet.

He kept me company on the sofa :))))

Sorry baby I kicked you :(((

ひょ〜〜〜〜　昨日はマジ疲れた〜。

長時間労働で疲れきったマミー　ソファーで寝落ちしちゃったよぉ。

明け方　何かを蹴った気がして見て見たら　足元にMatoが寝てた。

マミーと一緒にソファーで寝てくれてたのね。

蹴ってすまんMato。（笑）


The exhausting day started with a nice little Japanese dog gathering morning since we bumped into Taro!

そんな昨日の朝は久しぶりにタロに会って日本犬の朝に(´∀｀)

Then after that, Kaiya and Mato went to work with us and stayed at the office yesterday.

They got some pieces of salmon and both of them were super happy ;))))

んで一緒に仕事場に行ったKaiyaとMato。

同僚からサーモンもらって　大喜びの2人だったよ。

Unlike the rainy day yesterday, it was sunny this morning!

Plus, the coldness disappeared, too, and I think it went up to 10°C today.

Somehow Kaiya wasn't usual Kaiya.  She usually tries to hunt Mato down when we come to the dog park.  Just after we came in, she wanted to go out of the dog park so she was already waiting at the exit gate. lol

１日中雨だった昨日とは打って変わって　今朝は太陽が出た〜！

そして昨日までの寒さが嘘だったかのように　今日は10度まで上がった見たい。

だけどKaiyaさん　いつもはMato狩りを始めるんだけど　今日はドッグラン来て少したったら　もう出たいらしく出口に自分から向かって待ってよ（笑）

Kaiya

And she was little slow, too.

Right now she's on her heat and feeling bit different than usual, I guess.

なんとなくスローなKaiyaさん。

ただいまヒート中だから　いつもとは少し気分も違う感じね。

Kaiya

Inner clocks / 体内時計 oct. 29

Yesterday, on Sunday, daylight saving time ended and we set the clock one hour back.

But Kaiya and Mato's own inner clocks are still set on the summer time, of course.

Mommy's been waken up by them earlier than the alarm both yesterday and today :((

そうそう昨日の日曜日から冬時間に変わって時計の針を１時間戻したんだよ〜！

だけど　KaiyaとMatoの体内時計はまだ夏時間のまま。

昨日も今日もいつもより早くに起こされてるマミーです(T ^ T)

This morning we got a little surprise when we came outside.

I guess it snowed again during the night.  Streets were covered by thin layers of snow!

今朝は外に出て見てびっくり。

夜中にまた雪が降ったんだね。雪がちょっとだけ積もって地面が白かったよ！

Kaiya

Snooooooooow / 雪だぁぁぁ Oct. 28

When we were taking a walk this morning, I realized it was snowing.

Since it was a tiny tiny bit that I didn't think I could say it was snowing.

朝散歩をしてたら　チラチラ雪が舞ってきた。

けど　ほんのちょびっとだったから　雪降ったうちに入らないなぁ〜なんて思ってたら・・・

Kaiya

Mato

Then when we were a couple minutes away from home after the afternoon walk, it started to snow for real!

午後の散歩してもう少しで家って時に急にマジに降ってきた〜！

It was blowing, too, and I wanted to go home right a way but Kaiya didn't. lol

なんか横殴りな感じだし早く帰ろうとしたら　Kaiyaさんこれ。（笑）

Snow loving Kaiya's protest ;p

雪が大好きなKaiyaの帰りたくない抗議でしたw

Cold Beautiful Exciting morning walk / 寒い・綺麗・興奮なあさんぽ Oct. 26

Mommy had a day off.

Let's go for a long walk, guys!!!

It was -1°C this morning and we walked on the frost-covered grass.

マミー　お休みの日。

長い散歩行くぞ　みなのもの〜♪( ´θ｀)ノ

今朝はマイナス1度で霜が降りている中　森へ！

Ready. Set.

よ〜い。

Go.

ドン。

After the first run, they were busy sniffing around and didn't run like they usually do.

Especially Kaiya, who usually provokes Mato to run with her, was on alart of some sort.

I put the leash back on them and walked further.

As soon as we came out from the woods, I knew why.

It's a deer!!! and was taking a walk on the paved road alone. lol

A while later 2 more came out while we were waiting her to go away.

ヨーイドンの後は匂いを嗅いでばっかりでなかなか走って遊ばない２人。

特にいつもMatoを誘って走りたがるKaiyaが辺りを警戒し始めたから　リードを付けて先に進むことに。

森出たら　原因がわかった〜！！！！！

鹿〜〜〜〜〜！しかも1人で舗装された道を歩いてるしw

暫くこの位置で鹿さん行っちゃうの待ってたらトータルで３頭出てきた〜！

Kaiya got excited but she could be calm but Mato was almost out of control.

Kaiyaはじっとしてたけど　Matoが興奮しすぎて大変〜！

Finally, the deer went away and we could continue our walk up to the cliff!

It was as beautiful as usual ;)

やっと鹿さんたちが去った模様なので　先に進んで崖の上まできた〜！

本日も美しい景色でした。

Kaiya

Mato

The sun went up higher and it got warmer.

太陽高くなってきて徐々に暖かくなってきた〜。

Isn't it too cold, Kaiya?

Kaiyaさん　水冷たくないんかい？

You, too, Mato?

Matoくんも　冷たくないんかい？

Everyone was getting hungry, especially mommy, because we were outside for more than 2 hours.

We took the sub home on the way back ;)

2時間以上外にいたから　お腹めっちゃ減った〜！！！・・・特にマミーね。

帰りは地下鉄で帰ったよぉ〜(￣▽￣)

Kaiya

Mato

Chilli in action / 元気シリィ Oct. 25

Both yesterday and today, we took the morning walk together with Chilli and Carina :)))

It's been a while to see them and Kaiya couldn't stop giving kisses to her favorite Carina!

昨日も今日もシリィとあさんぽ一緒〜！！

久しぶりに会ったもんだから　Kaiyaさんは大好きなカリーナにキス攻撃しまくり！

Chilli is usually a cool and calm guy but he was very excited somehow!

いつもクールガイなシリィだけど　珍しく興奮して走ってた〜！

Oh, Kaiya.  It's time to start it, huh?

あ。Kaiyaさん　始めるんですね。

Are you gonna join them, Chilli?

シリィも参戦！？

I guess not....he seemed like he wanted to but he didn't know how ;p

と思いきや・・・仲間に入りたいけど　どうすればいいか分からないご様子(^^;)

Then he ran after them again :)))

でも気になるから　やっぱり後を追いかけて行くシリィ(о´∀`о)

Yesterday morning was 2 °C and this morning was 3 °C.,,seems like winter is already here.

But these three enjoy it :)

昨日も今日も　朝は２度とか３度とか　もう冬みたいな寒さ〜。

だけど　この３人にはこのくらいがちょうどいい見たいね(´∀｀)

Energetic from the morning / 朝から元気！ Oct. 22

Getting colder and colder.

I need a thick jacket for the morning walk lately.

Coldness doesn't matter for these two.   Just as energetic as usual in the morning!

徐々に寒くなってきてるよぉ〜。

朝は厚いジャケットが必要なのだ。

この２人には寒さは関係ないけどね〜（＾Ｏ＾）朝から元気な2人だよ！

Grey heron? / アオサギ？ Oct. 21

Quiet morning.

I let Kaiya walk by herself...though

静かな朝〜。

Kaiyaさんには１人で歩いてもらってたら・・・

!!!  I see someone is taking a walk alone...

ややや・・・前方にこれまた１人で歩いてるヒトがいる・・・。

Before Kaiya noticed him, I put the leash back on her and then we passed by him...

Yep.  Kaiya was too curious and didn't seem like she wanted to leave him alone.

Kaiyaさんが気づく前にリードをつけてから　側を通ったら・・・

やっぱり大分気になるご様子のKaiyaさん。

I wonder what kind a bird he or she is.

We don't see this kind that often around here but we've actually seen exactly like him a while ago...maybe the same guy?

It could be Grey Heron??

なんの鳥だろ？

滅多に見ない種類だけど　ちょっと前にもこの辺で１羽見たなぁ〜。同じヒトかしら？

アオサギさんかな？

Morning walk with daddy / ダディとあさんぽ Oct. 20

Because Mommy stayed up late last night watching the series that I'm into now, daddy took the kids out for the morning walk this morning!!!!!

This doesn't happen often. lol

And they went to the woods and enjoyed the long and fun walk!

Thanks, daddy!

ハマってしまったシリーズを見て夜更かししたマミーに変わって　珍しくダディが朝の散歩をしてくれた今日。

しかも森まで行って朝から長い楽しい散歩をしてきたみたいよぉ〜！

ダディ　サンクス！

Mato (left)               Kaiya (right)

Daddy had a day off but mommy had to work this evening.

After I came back, they kept me company on the bed chilling ;)))

ダディはお仕事休みだったけど　マミーは夕方からお仕事。

帰ってきてから　２人と一緒にベッドの上でまったり〜(о´∀`о)

Friday fun night / 楽しい金曜日の夜 Oct. 19

Mommy had a day off today and we decided to have a late morning walk.

COLD!

It was already 10 am but my phone said it was -1°C!!!

The winter is slowly coming closer.

今日はマミー仕事休みで朝はゆっくり遅めの散歩だったんだけど　寒い。

もう朝の１０時まわってたんだけど　スマホみたら -1°C だって！

徐々に冬が近づいてきてるねぇ〜。

Since daddy didn't had to work in the evening, we went to play shuffleboard with Simba's family.

We went to the billiard place close to our work.  They also have shuffleboard and ping pong. 

夜はダディも仕事がなかったから　シンバの家族と一緒にシャフルボードをしに行ってきたよ〜。

仕事場の近くにあるビリヤードできるところなんだけど　そこにシャフルボードや卓球もあるんだよね。

Those of you who don't know shuffleboard, it's a game in which players push the pucks on the long rectangular board to the scoring area.

シャフルボードってのはこの長いコートの上でディスクを滑らせて反対側にある得点盤上に到達させて　得点をきそうゲーム。

In order for the pucks to smoothly slide, you scatter sand on the board.  And that sand is the key if the pucks slide too fast or curve a lot.  It's harder than it looks but sometimes beginner's luck plays a big role and all kinds of things happen and you can't really expect anything ;p

滑りやすいようにコートの上には砂を散りばめるんだけど　その砂の加減とかで滑りすぎたり曲がったりで　意外に難しかったり　ビギナーズラックで上手く行ったりで　結構予想不能なゲームになって面白いんだよ（＾Ｏ＾）

After playing shuffleboard for a couple of hours, we came home first to pick Kaiya and Mato then went to Simba's home. 

We had very delicious dinner together and ate sooooooooo much!

Such a fun Friday night we had ;)))

数時間シャフルボードで遊んで楽しんだら　家に帰ってKaiyaとMatoを連れてシンバのお家へ。

みんなでいっぱいご飯食べたよ！！！！

今日は楽しい金曜日になった〜(´∀｀)

Totoro's tree / トトロの木 Oct. 18

Daddy and mommy had to work whole day so Kaiya and Mato came to work together.

ダディとマミーが1日お仕事だったので　一緒に仕事行ったKaiyaとMato。

In the morning, we went to the dog park near the work place.

I didn't notice it before but we found a tree with a big hole by the roots...looks like the tree where forest spirit Totoro lives ;))

朝の散歩は仕事場の近くのドッグランに行ったら　今まで気づかなかったけど　こんな木を発見。

なんだか　トトロが住んでる木みたいだ！！

He wasn't home thought ;p

どうやら　お留守のようだったけどね（笑）

At the work place, I asked Mato to wait behind the curtain just for a while but he couldn't resist. lol

仕事場で　カーテンの後ろでちょっと待ってて言ってるのに　どうしても出てきたがるMatoですw

Mato

When I went to the bed room... / ベッドルーム行ったら・・・ Oct. 16

Kaiya was sleeping on her bed and Mato was sleeping on my bed.

Adorable two♡

Night night!

Kaiyaは自分のベッドで　Matoは私のベッドで寝てた〜。

かわゆい奴らや♡

おやすみ〜zzz

Ramen / ラーメン Oct. 14

This week has been really warm.  During the day, it gets up to 19 °C.

When we took a walk this morning, the sun was shining and already getting warm.

It became a beautiful autumn morning walk :)

今週はなんだかすごく暖かかったストックホルム。日中なんか１９度まで上がっちゃって半袖で歩き回れちゃうくらい。

今朝お散歩した時は太陽が輝いてすでに暖かくなり始めてた〜。

秋晴れの気持ちいい　あさんぽになったよぉ（＾Ｏ＾）

Kaiya

Mato

And Mato is being targeted again...

そしてまた狙われるMato。

Mato

Kaiya

Mato

Both of them ran and play a lot this morning again :)))

今朝もよく遊んだ２人。

And walked a lot on the carpet of fallen leaves.

たくさん落ち葉の絨毯も歩いたよぉ〜。

Both mommy and daddy were off from work today.  This doesn't happen a lot so we went out this afternoon.

Unfortunately, Kaiya and Mato stayed home.

Mommy wanted to go to this store in Södermalm so we went there first.

It's an interior shop called Fat Cat.

今日は珍しくマミーもダディもお休みだったから　午後からお出かけしてきたよ。

残念ながらKaiyaとMatoはお留守番だったけどね。

マミーが行きたかったお店があったから　本日はセーデルマルム島(Södermalm)へ。

Fat Cat って言う雑貨や家具を売っているインテリアのお店。

The shop was filled with tons of furniture and small gadgets which were smartly displayed.

I just loved most of the stuff they had and wanted to buy a lot!!!

店内は所狭しとオシャレに商品がディスプレイされてた。

めっちゃ私好みのものがたくさんあって色々欲しくなっちゃった〜。

Unfortunately,  the goods weren't cheep at all.

These are what I bought today.  A dog candle holder and a book-form box.

Doesn't the dog's nose remind you Matos' nose?? lol

でもお値段も張るので　本日の収穫は　イヌ型のキャンドルホールダーと本型の小物入れ箱。

ちょっとMatoの鼻に似てるかな？w

Since one of daddy's friends was with us, too, we decided to fika after shopping.

There are actually cute cafes in Södermalm.  It's my first time to come to this one.

ダディの友達も一緒にいたから　買い物した後はみんなでフィーカしたよ。

セーデルマルムは可愛いカフェとか多いんだけど　ここは初めてきた。

I got a carrot cake and a chai latte.

Yum yum! Super good;)

私はキャロットケーキとチャイ。

ウンマかった〜！！！

After fika, we went to eat ramen!

To this restaurant called Blue light Yokohama.

Usually it's an Izakaya style restaurant but only Sundays they serve only ramen noodles.

This was my first time eating this place.

I haven't had a good ramen experience in Sweden.... let's see how it is here.

そしてその後はラーメンを食べに。

このブルーライトヨコハマって言うレストラン。

普段は居酒屋スタイルなレストランらしいんだけど　日曜だけはラーメンだけを提供してるらしく　初めて行ってきた。

こっちのラーメンは残念なものした出会ったことないから　ここはどうかな？？？

I ordered a spicy tonkotsu miso ramen.

Yes!!!!! This is real Japanese!!!

Although it looks very spicy in the photo,  it wasn't spicy at all. lol

Still, delicious!!! I was so satisfied!

辛口とんこつ味噌を頼んでみたよ。

うん　これは日本のラーメン！

写真は辛そうな色に映っちゃったけど　全然辛くなかった（笑）

でも　美味しかったよ〜！！！

I usually eat gyoza dumplings when I eat ramen but this place didn't have gyoza :(((

Instead, we ordered Tatsuta kara aga chicken with ponzu sauce with grated daikon radish.

This one wasn't something I was imagined...I wanted a lot of daikon radish but only a tiny bit in the sauce.

Whole this costed 125 Swedish krona which is pretty expensive.

Oh well, I was happy anyways being able to eat the real Japanese ramen ;)

ラーメン食べる時は絶対餃子食べるヒトなマミー。

でもここ餃子がなくて残念(；ω；)

その代わり　竜田揚げおろしポン酢ソースを頼んだけど　想像とだいぶ違っておろしがあんまりなくて　これで１２５クローナ（日本円で１５５０円くらいかな）・・・高い。

でも久しぶりにラーメン食べれたから　まいっかぁ(о´∀`о)
