Weekend plan update
So, the weekend plan I mentioned last post? Guess what - it failed ( Read more... ) -
Last mid-week holiday this spring
Today was a beautiful Ascension Day, with clear blue sky and 26°C. Naturally, I spent most of the day indoors :-) . I managed to tick of perhaps half of my to-do list, unfortunately not doing the item with the two large exclamation marks (conference preparations). I really hope it can get done on Sunday. Saturday will possibly be an IKEA day, as I' ( Read more... ) -
A "quick" summary of February, March and April
To my great shock, it is now May. Despite the lack of posts, things have actually happened in my life. The UK trip in February was good, although I really felt the aftermath of my cold. My main "irritation" was the UK's expensive train tickets, which means that in order to save money you have to book well in advance and choose the exact departure ( Read more... ) -
Back at work
Term starts officially on Monday, so it's been rather quiet at work the last two weeks. Haven't done much writing, but sorting paper, photocopying all the relevant parts from all the books that I had ordered before Christmas, updating all the admin stuff etc also needs doing ( Read more... ) -
Post-Christmas thoughts
The plan for today was to see The Last Jedi, but I woke up really tired and thought 2.5+ hours in the dark would be not the best decision. So hopefully, cinema tomorrow instead. There are more screenings on New Year's Day, so it doesn't matter as much if I'm tired in the morning ( Read more... ) -
New tea!
And in good news, my new tea from Perch is tasty (their own Glyptoteks blend), and will be a good tea for work! A bit boring plain black tea, but the roiboos at work is citrus based, and I'm not fond of vanilla, flower or fruit flavoured tea (with exception for citrus, and Kränku's Kalkstensdrömmar) which is most of the tea market in Sweden (and ( Read more... ) -
Christmas has started!
Technically Christmas started two weekends ago, when I went to Copenhagen for this year's first Christmas market, organised by Frederiksbergs Haveselskab (Frederiksberg's garden society). I saw it in a list of Christmas markets in Copenhagen, and it seemed interesting. Not like the usual tourist traps in the city centre, but one with potential for ( Read more... ) -
Success!?!
I feel good. Despite having been home sick for two days (and hopefully having squished the illness dead - I really don't have time to be ill right now), I have cooked proper food two days in a row! New recipes* even! Will this be a game changer, or will I go back to "uh, don't know... pasta+pesto ( Read more... ) -
London holiday (the short story)
I've been home almost two weeks: time has really flown, both there and here. It was almost a repeat of last year's London holiday with mum. She came along, we stayed at the same hotel, several hours was spent researching in libraries, and we walked more than "normal" people would expect us to. But it was fun ( Read more... ) -
And back!
Just come back from a long-weekend/short-week trip to London. Am utterly exhausted, so I should probably leave off checking social media until tomorrow or so, when I can keep my eyes open (I hope). However, I've acquired an absolutely amazing book haul, so all in all, the exhaustion is worth it :-) .
