I had a nice relaxing day today! The weather seems to have forgotten it is April, not June, and produced sunshine, a clear blue sky, and temperatures around 20C, which in turn has resulted in something very close to a green explosion. To enjoy this, I brought ice tea and a book to spend most of the day outside.

Today is election day here in Sweden, and the votes are currently being counted. It is a bit of a nervous time...
Election day is quite special to me. I am a politician's daughter, so I probably remember more from campaigns and elections in the past than most other people my age, and there are many things that are funny looking back upon. This day ( Read more... )

I learned something interesting in class today. I knew that British and American englishes are different, and I knew that in Britain you'd say pavement and in America sidewalk. However, in this new course I'm taking I have a teacher from New Zeeland, and I learned today that there they say footpath. Interesting! At least I think so - and it's my ( Read more... )

Livejournal has something called "Writer's block" with suggestions on what to write about for the day. A moment ago when I logged in, I saw that the question for today was: "What was your childhood dream? Did you ever accomplish it?", and I came to think of one profession I desired as a young child. Of course there were many things I wanted to be ( Read more... )

The great news is that I'm still alive, in spite of my long absence from this blog! Yay! I like being alive... :)

The good news is that I'm finally writing a post, after giving up on the idea that the first post back should be an absolutely stunningly excellent post, since becasue of its incredible excellence that post is never written... Maybe ( Read more... )

It seems people, or at least Swedes, have a tendency to create special days for food they like. The third Thursday of August is the premiere of the Surströmming (soured Baltic herring) for those that eat such things, the 4th of October is the Day of the Cinnemon roll, and yesterday it was the day of waffles...
According to what I have read, we call ( Read more... )

It must have been one of Celeborn's or Legolas's relatives.  Long silver blond hair, about to his waist, loose, but with some strands pulled back behind the head. Did I mention that the guy was very tall too? I lost my focus for a while, although I'm pretty sure I was still singing - but hey, who wouldn't loose focus for a while when they saw their ( Read more... )

... but I think spring might have begun! The sun has been shining for several days, you can hear water dripping, birds sing, and some of the snow on the roof has fallen off in avalanches that make it sound the whole house is falling on top of me.
So in honour of the (I hope!) coming Spring, I will have a picture post of winter photos that I have ( Read more... )

Computers are dangerous things. I was tired and thinking about going to bed at 8. It's now midnight, and I'm still stuck to my computer. I need to work on my discipline!

Ok. I'll go to bed now.
G'night.

Incredibly interesting post this, isn't it? :)

When I was born I was almost bald

And I wasn’t  particularly old

Only some nine months, that’s all

So of course I was rather small

Then I grew and grew and grew some more

And all of a sudden I was four!

Then five and six and then sixteen

I’m now twenty-six, but feel rather green

Although I know some maths and some grammar

And have ( Read more... )
