Relaxing Day
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.

Time for Resurrection
Well, it’s about time I return to my blog I think, and I thought Resurrection Sunday would be a good time. Of course, resurrecting my blog cannot in any way be compared to the resurrection of Christ, but still, it sounded like a neat idea to me…

Consonants
I am a curious person. I love to learn things, whether 'important' or not. Yesterday, I began to wonder what kind of R-sound is the most common in the languages of the world. There are the trilled Rs, as in Swedish and Scottish, the English Rs, and the back-of-the-throat-Rs, as in French and Danish. Maybe some more variants as well, and with ( Read more... ) -
"Up-cheering"
It was a while ago since I felt really good, and today was not a particularly good day either. Went to the doctor today, but unfortunately I didn't feel any better afterwards. Oh well, at least the doctor was really goodlooking. Seriously, the most handsome doctor I've ever had!
Anyway, I thought I'd post some videos here that make me smile. ( Read more... ) -
Election day
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... ) -
Where to Walk in New Zeeland
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... ) -
Keep counting
So, I was just thinking about something.
Did you know that, on avarage, humans have over 100 000 hairs on their head? And that everyday you loose around 60 of them (and new grow)?
Now what I was thinking was about Jesus' words that "even the very hairs of your head are all numbered" (Matthew 10:30). That is, even at the first glance, a big thing, ( Read more... ) -

Pages of Bella
A short story I wrote last year, and realised I had not yet posted here.
Pages of Bella
She opens the scrapbook at the beginning. There is no need for it; all pictures are already tattooed in her mind, and she only needs to open the last page to insert the very last picture, but as in a trance she looks through the pages. She spills no tears. ( Read more... ) -
Not anymore
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... )
