Master had his
talk at the University today, I was allowed to come along again. We
joined a tour to see the building. It is all very modern and nice. I
was looking at it from the point of a potential student, but
considering how difficult I found it to read the science magazines, I
think taking up my studies again is out of the question. But I enjoy
keeping my brain busy.
Owe was much more
confident this week giving his speech. Especially the 2nd
time. He was sure of his subject.
We went to a cafe
nearby where he had lunch when he was working in the neigborhood. He
was warmly welcomed by the owner. Seems he was here every day. Were
my lunch boxes not enough?
We came home in
the late afternoon. It was dark, cold and wet. Master lit a fire. He
put me into some restraints and we watched some television. Almost a
normal day for us. I managed to keep my mind off the exam tomorrow.
The exam went
well, it was quite tough. I met with Master and Ingrid afterwards for
lunch, they were eager to hear how I got on. Then I had yoga. There
will be a break now for 2 weeks until the new year. I cannot believe,
this is my 2nd christmas and New Year in Stockholm!
We are driving to
Dalarna tomorrow, I have packed already. Day to day I am not too
bothered having to deal with my “special needs”, but when I go
away and the stuff fills a whole travel bag by itself, it is
daunting.
I am finally
getting some peace and quiet to write my diary. I was actually not
too bothered about leaving the house all tidy and clean. Of course we
tidied up, and I gave the bathrooms a clean while Master packed the
car and cleaned our breakfast stuff away. We took our time driving.
We stopped for lunch. The kids were excited to have us here, and Dog
remembered us as well and followed us and got into the way. By now
they are used to us and our stuff. We are staying in the main house,
only Trude lives there, but during the day the whole family is in and
out. There is snow here and we had to inspect the snow family the
kids have built. We are a bit further north here, so it gets dark
even earlier! And COLD! We had fika, the wood burner was on and it
was nicely warm.
Master and I
decided to have an early night. It took us some time to figure out
how to fit the restraints to the bed. Funny, I am apprehensive about
using them.
So, it was
christmas today. It was not so much a religious celebration here. In
Sweden it is more about food, drinking and presents. In the morning
we helped with preparations for the dinner and keeping the children
busy. Lunch was late and long. It was just us, the immediate family.
The farm is quite isolated, and most people they know had their own
family festivities to attend. Alcohol was served, but no-one drinks a
lot. The animals had to be tended to in the evening, not a good idea
to be drunk! I had a sip of a home brewed schnapps. Mymy. It took my
breath away. Even here, deep inland, the buffet offered fish, but we
had a lovely piece of beef from their own herd.
The presents were
exchanged after the meal. Of course it was mostly for the kids. We
had presents for Trude and the adults, they had requested stuff. Owe
and I did not give presents to each other. After my rather dubious
present to Owe for his birthday, he had made it a rule not to give
presents – ever!
After the animals
had been put to bed, the family left, the kids were very tired after
trying all their presents. Owe and I sat a while with Trude. Last
night we only put the restraints around my ankles, that gave me
enough chance to move around, but kept me in bed. I hardly noticed
them. I hope he will be happy with only those. I am actually quite
tired tonight and look forward to a good nights sleep.
Today I spent some
time playing with the children in the snow. Master helped to look
after the animals. Dog was enjoying playing with us. When we came in
for some lunch, I noticed that I had gotten cold. We had been so
physically active, I felt warm. But inside and out of the warm
clothes, I suddenly started to shudder. Owe sat down with me in a
comfy chair by the oven and warmed me up. I think Trude was a little
uncomfortable. I guess seeing two men like this is a bit strange for
her, never mind how open minded one is. He is helping with the
animals again at the moment. He does not want me to help, he is
afraid I might pick up an infection.
Last night Master
put the other restraints on me. Then he gave me blow job. Oh my god!
Enough said about
that. Owe and I went to the local town today and had lunch in a local
restaurant. Most shops were still closed, but it was nice to have
some time just the two of us. It was a sunny day, and we went for a
walk. Again, once we came home, I had gotten cold. All the hot drinks
and sitting in front of the oven does not help, the best way to get
warm is to cuddle up to Master. The kids accept it, but the adults
are a bit shy. We are aware of that and try to keep intimacy to our
room. Not that we are all over each other anyway.
Just a short entry
today, I am spent. Last night Master put me into some rope and gagged
me and left me alone (we had the baby monitor on, how he explained
that to Trude I would like to know!). I enjoyed it. He only untied me
when he came to bed, and then he put me into the restraints. I did
not sleep very well. Funnily I got too hot and could not get the
duvet off enough due to the restraints. Master was sleeping so
deeply, he did not notice my shuffling.
We went dog
sledging today. We had talked about it when we told them about our
trip to Canada and the kids wanted to experience it. It was good fun.
Afterwards we were able to warm up in a hot tub. Nevertheless I felt
cold when we came home, and of course I was very tired. Master and I
went to bed. He was afraid I would get ill and let me sleep.
Apparently the children could not understand why we would go to bed
during the day.
We are going home
tomorrow. It has been long enough, I want my familiar environment
back, my own bed. My own kitchen and my routine. I am starting to
have problems, I am just not as relaxed. I had to clean myself this
morning, and as I was slightly under time pressure as we had the
sledging booked, it was not going well. I tried again tonight, it was
better. Still, I am feeling a bit funny tonight. As it is our last
evening, I am expected downstairs for a goodbye drink. Well, better
go, then I can get to bed soon!
Home, sweet home!
Owe put the heating on before we got here via his phone. I
immediately unpacked and we were very much at home soon. Trude had
packed us some food, and we had stopped to buy some fresh stuff. Poor
Master did most of the driving, as I was not feeling too well.
The food in
Dalarna was very nutritious, and I still had my shakes, but it was
different than we usually have, heavier. So I had a bit of stomach
pains, and a headache I just could not get rid off despite taking
some pain medication.
It was sad to say
goodbye, I know Master is very worried about his aunt, that she
overdoes it. She is still very active looking after the house and
helping look after farm issues. She is not that old yet, in her
mid-sixties. But then my father was that age when he suddenly died.
Dog knew something
was up, and he tried to get into the car again. He did not spend much
time in the house this time, he slept in the barn with the other
dogs. But he was always on the porch in the morning waiting for me.
He is still very much a puppy, but quite good at discipline when he
wants to. Tonight I spent some time in the cage, in the play room by
myself. Master checked on me several times.
Master suggested
to spend a few days at the flat and spend New Years eve there. After
so much time in the quiet country he fancied to hear the street
noise, although it is not too bad, as we are so high up. So we packed
again. Of course we do not keep anything at the flat any more, so the
car was pretty full. I drove the short distance. Luckily we found a
space right outside the house. Per and Lasse came to help carry some
stuff. We invited them to spend New Years eve with us, which they
gladly accepted. We invited all of our neighbours, but everyone
already had plans. Master suggested to invite Martin and his wife.
Usually Martin had to work, of course. They were free and gladly
accepted. Master and I moved some furniture around to make it
different then when the Germans were here, we were a bit dubious
about using the sofa. We just remembered the footage. I like sitting
on the floor anyway, so I am not too bothered.
I was a bit
unsettled as my room is full of stuff from the club. Luckily I can
still use the bathroom ok. I will have to sleep I Owe's room, but I
will use the cage. I am quite looking forward to it.
After we had
sorted the flat we went to the gym. It was late afternoon, a time I
rarely use it. We were the only customers. It felt a bit strange. The
staff seemed happy to see customers and we asked them to monitor us,
as we had quite a few days off and needed to get back into it. We
both enjoyed the work out. Tonight Master put some upper body
restraints on me. It is harness which is well used, it was one of
Arne's designs. I like it. It leaves me enough freedom to function,
but also restricts me enough.
Today we did some
shopping for the party tomorrow and made ourselves at home more. I
slept well in the cage last night. It was nice doing yoga in the
living room. The flat feels very empty though. I missed our little
table for breakfast this morning. I started to get everything ready
and automatically turned to lay it. But now I had to bring everything
to the big table. Master said he felt a bit disorientated when he
woke up. He woke up before I had a chance to wake him. I was looking
forward to have that time together. We went to the gym again in the
afternoon, Master stayed on to go to the sauna. I came home and
prepared a light dinner for him. Tonight we are going to the cinema.
It is only a few bus stops. We booked tickets for one of the action
movies Master enjoys.
After I had done
yoga this morning I remembered last year. How much has changed!!!
I went to wake
Master, I watched him sleep for a while before I started my routine.
I have to guide him out of sleep. I took care of his morning
erection, and then we had a coffee in bed. He also commented on how
much has changed this year, how much we had experienced. He said it
is good that we both keep the diary. One does not remember everything
how it truly was. And we met some people because of the blogs. He
asked me what I expect of the new year. Honestly, I had not thought
about it. I am happy as things are at the moment. I do not want to
think too much about the future. It always comes different anyway.
Life has it's own plans.
Master Owe andIi
went alcohol shopping. What a procedure! One has to look in a
catalogue what one wants, write the code number on a piece of paper,
pay for it, then find an assistant, who are behind a counter, they
will get the bottle(s). It does not stop drinking alcohol, so why do
they not sell it openly? This way I guess the government gets more
money. We did not buy much, two bottles of wine and something
sparkling for midnight. Master splashed out on something good. I had
to swallow at the price. I am cooking beef Wellington, and we are
going to have Swedish salad before, and then fruit salad and ice
cream.
This afternoon I
cleaned the flat. Master was laughing at me, it was hardly dirty, we
have only been here 2 days!
Happy New Year!
We had a nice time
last night, Martin of course knows Per and Lasse, his wife had not
met them before. She was the only woman last night, but she is used
to being surrounded by gay leather men.
The food was good,
the beef was cooked nicely pink, and we toasted the new year. From
our balcony we had a nice view of fire works. Our guests left soon
after. Martin and his family are travelling to Australia and New
Zealand for 4 weeks, he used to live there for several years as a
young man. We met with Stefan for a drink in a local bar. Many people
have a long time off and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Master
called some people to extend best wishes.
I only had 2
glasses of alcohol last night, but I felt it today! I had something
to eat with every course, and I am a bit out of rhythm anyway, so my
resolution is to get me back on track. I have put some weight on
though!
My classes start
again on Tuesday so while Master read his paper I have had a look
through my books and revised. He fell asleep on the sofa! We were up
quite early this morning.
I was a bit out of
sorts yesterday. Sometimes important dates and late nights do that to
me. I went to the house to check everything is ok and I needed to
fetch some clothes and books. I had a letter from the States. I did
not read it until I was at home. Home is where Master Owe is, so it
is the flat.
It was written
before christmas. It was nice to have it. It is a positive letter. It
was hard in November, a lot of information, especially for her.
Master and Martin
had a meeting with Mr Allender and the architect to discuss the final
plans for the building work. Poor Martin, having to work hours before
jetting half around the world. To be honest, I guess he was glad to
be away from 3 fretting females about what to pack.
It felt funny to
be back at the house. I almost did not want to go back to the flat.
It is so clinical there. And I cannot sleep in my own room. I like
being in Master's room, and be in my cage, but it does cramp our
life. It is ok for a few days.
Using the kitchen
here is a bit cramped. Of course we only have the basics here, as
well. I just have to treat it as if we are in a holiday place. And
still it is so familiar. Our neighbours greet us and want a chat. The
people in the shops know me. I am torn.
So, back to my
routine. Class, lunch, yoga, cooking at the centre, dinner and
meditation. Wow. Apparently most people take time off longer, so that
all my classes are running is quite unusual.
At yoga a few
regulars were missing. Everyone was at class and eager to get on. We
are all very motivated, except for me everyone is planning to go to
University and doing another course to prepare them. It is good to be
in such a motivated group.
The building work
started today. Well, still ripping things out. Master had to meet the
builders first thing this morning, he was not happy to be woken by me
just after 6am. It is still absolutely dark, but the work is indoors.
Master said the foreman was dubious about the plans, and I will have
to come along soon and we have to show him what a real Master and
slave are like these days.
Bring it on!
Today we had some
time in the play room. It felt cold in there, it has not been used in
a long time. Most of the gear is actually at the house, so we had to
make do with what was there, which was mostly the big pieces of
equipment and rope. Master - as always - was very inventive and we
had a good time. We went to bed afterwards to have a long session of
sex. He got me to orgasm twice!
Tonight we were
sitting in the living room, me on the floor, as usual. Master was
caressing my neck and playing with my hair and collar. I liked that.
Sometimes he put his finger under the collar, which made it very
tight. It did not cause me any problems, and it was nice to be
reminded that it is there.
I am downstairs, I
am going to sleep here tonight. Master is in hospital! He had an
accident at the building site. He had a phone call that there was a
problem, and then a heavy tool box fell through the ceiling onto his
hand. He broke his hand and had to have an operation to fix it. Per
met me when I came home from yoga. I was very annoyed that they did
not inform me earlier, by then Master was just having his operation.
He had decided that there was nothing I could do anyway and I would
just get upset. Per helped me pack some things for Master and took me
to the hospital. We had to wait for Master to be brought to a ward.
Then he still was very groggy. He instructed me to stay with P/L,
after getting the ok from them that I could stay with them. His hand
was heavily bandaged. I have to go and retrieve the car tomorrow. It
is still at the club. I think this will mean that we will stay at the
flat for a bit longer, so I need to fetch more stuff from the house.
Oh my, my head is buzzing! I guess we have to be thank full it was
only his hand. It is my worst nightmare, that something happens to
Owe. I do not think I would be able to cope, on so many levels. Well,
Per ordered me light out.
