Hi there! Today I have been working out so I was tired in the afternoon. I got very inspired by participating in “Tjejmilen” so now I am training for “Hässelbyloppet”. It will be the 100th time so I suppose there will be a lot of celebration. I really hope that I won´t get injured. Now I am more careful so I went to Yoga after running. As usual, I stop when I see something I would like to catch. Amazing that you find country side in the middle of Stockholm as you can see on the photo below.

Tonight I will continue to work with my book. I had a nice late lunch/dinner at Texas Longhorn. My sweet auntie has thought me to go there. She and her  American family has introduced me to American kitchen. Tortillas tonight.

I am currently writing about a part in my book that takes place in the north part of Sweden. I remember things you do in Lappland since I have spent a lot of time there when I was little. Like this special bread as you can see on the photo above. It is very famous and it also has a soft version. At this time point of the year, there are many people celebrating “Surströmmings premiär”. That is really a typical tradition from the north part of Sweden. I am not so keen on it because of  the smell. However, you have this bread, lots of onions, surströmming and something good to drink.

Ok, I really hope you have a beautiful weekend. At least I have and I share it with you.

To be honest, what I wrote last time has affected me a lot. I was very touched by remembering. That made me start to listen to some music from decades ago. I am happy to have nice memories and I am also glad to always have them with me.

It is for sure that summer has now turned to autumn. Still warm, but rain is appearing almost every day. Trees are green but soon they will change colors. I always try to find something nice everyday. To appreciate life and to think positive even though life can be challenging. This morning I seized a glimpse of my every day life, photo above. A peace of fun embraced by a rainy Stockholm.

You know that I write my book and that makes me very happy. I have spent a lot of time writing instead of traveling. I miss traveling. Meeting new people.  But soon ;-).

Have a pleasant evening!

I am at my parents house in the country side. Good to relax after some work and also to meet my sweeties. This website is in a way to remember. To remember my life. I saw some photos this morning and found this very nice birthday card. When I went to high school in Sala we had some student exchange. I made good friends with Michelle from Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. She stayed a year in Sweden and she  lived with the pharmacist family in Sala. My auntie had, at that time, found her husband in Florida so I knew some about the USA. Michelle and I wrote some letters after she left Sweden, but I wonder how she is today. I feel a bit sorry for losing so many friends.

It is still green outside in the garden. However, I feel autumn approaching. I will go for a “joggingtur” today. Lovely to breath fresh air. There are lots of berries in the forest. No apples this autumn which is rare. So, wishing you a relaxing Sunday.

…is one of the most important meals of the day. However, I must admit that I don´t always treat myself with fresh omelett with olives and onions, fermented herring and a cup of coffee. I should. I know.

I actually don´t know why it has been so complicated for me to switch between languages when I write. To find Swedish that I am comfortable with has taken time. To support myself I have to think that this is my very first book so next book will be much easier to write. I just love my characters so I think I have to continue to write about them. They are so sweet. Maybe they will follow me the rest of my life.

I just wanted to say hi to you and wish you a happy Sathurday. Soon off for work, but I will have some time to write a little and enjoy the newspaper.

Happy Sathurday!
