My aunt was just here. She called yesterday evening which was good since I had completely forgotten about the whole thing, haha. She went to Malmö for a wedding party this past weekend, and she called me months ago to ask if she could come to Lund and visit me while she was here. It's a sign of how uneventful my life is that I didn't even check my ( Read more... )

My neighbours asked me if I wanted to dogsit for them lst night, as they were going to a Wild West-themed party. They also asked if I could drive them to the party. I said I could, and asked if I could use their car while I had the keys. "Sure", they said. So I drove them to the party and then drove to acropetal's place and picked her up, and took us both ( Read more... )

It's in weather like this that I can (maybe) understand women who fancy vampires. Because they're, you know, cold. >_>

In related news, I watched New Moon the other night, since I was in the mood for some brainless romantic mush, like the first movie. New Moon turned out to be brainless, period. At least the first movie -- in spite of all its ( Read more... )

I wonder why they call the weather "unsteady", when it's consistently 10ºC all day and raining steadily?

So that was the end of pre-summer. Four days of nice weather, was it? Straight from a cold and damp spring to cold and damp June weather.

Today some warm weather finally arrived, but of course it was oppressive and muggy instead. I did some shopping after school and kept feeling it was going to rain any minute. It started (just a drizzle, but still) just as I was reaching for the door to my building. So I was a bit lucky there. I'm still expecting thunder later on, though ( Read more... )

Last day of the winter school holidays... And I've been really lazy. I've been walking my neighbours' dogs at lunchtime during the weekdays, and getting my new computer in order, and knitting. I bought a lovely organically dyed wool yarn with changing colours at the beginning of the week, with the plan to knit a pair of thick, warm and pretty leg ( Read more... )

...is not my forte. Winter doesn't help -- there are too many clothes and coats and things to be worn and stuff that needs to be brought along and lights to be turned off and don't mention the cooker. This morning I decided to walk to the train station since it was snowing and they were promising strong winds later on. I also decided to listen to ( Read more... )

These are from right outside my house -- first the view from my balcony:

Today I've been doing that looooooooooong overdue but oh so off-putting paper tidying. For years, all the important papers and documents have just been put into the same wobbly pile on top of my desk (together with everything else piled on top of my desk, which makes the desk serve not as a desk but as a rather inefficient storage space). But today ( Read more... )

Still cold, still snowing! Still traffic chaos ( Read more... )
