Hope you have had a good day. I did. Fall is slowly approaching. It is getting darker, but we are still happy to have a pleasant temperature. The feeling of summertime is still present.

Right now my life is a contradiction. I exercise quite a lot, which is so fun. But I do not know how I can live without sweets. I have always been very keen on sweets. Especially chocolate. My biggest weakness. But so good!

I have started to think a little about a journey somewhere, but I will continue to write my book. I also think a lot about my theoretical pharmacology. Even though I have travelled alone I miss company. Someone to share my traveling experiences with. However, writing is a way of traveling. To travel with imagination.

Sweet dreams,

Anna

Espanglish. I like this word. I have always been interested in languages. How words originate. Many words comes from Greek. A few weeks ago I learnt that ambulance is Greek. For me, listening to different languages is like tasting tapas. I can taste a word. Like Espanglish. Cuttle. Puppie. Silence. Harmony.

I very rarely use bad language. If I use, someone has provoked me. Som man sier på norsk, “det kan klicka før en”. This expression is Norwegian, and it means that you get angry. At least in Østfold. I don’t like bad language. But people like to provoke. I think one reason is because… What do you think? Why do people like to hurt somebody? Is that human? For me that is not human behavior. Behave!

This week I have listened to a lot of Spanish. It is music for me. To listen to a language that I don´t understand. Find a few words that I know. And feel the joy of at least understanding Patatas Bravas. Tastes lovely 😉

Enjoy your Sunday,

Je vous embrasse, Anna

C’est une belle journée à Stockholm. J’ai un jour de congé; je vais écrire. Je travaille sur mon pharmacologie théorique. Je suis le professeur Arvid Carlsson par regarder ses présentations sur l’internet (minitel). J’ai beaucoup travaillé, pendant de nombreuses années, à étudier le rôle des récepteurs nicotiniques d’acétylcholine. Sa fonction et son comportement. Bien sûr, j’ai suivi ce que le professeur Jean-Pierre Changeux a écrit et présenté. J’ai beaucoup lu son travail au cours de mon travail de thèse. Il a beaucoup contribué à la compréhension du rôle des récepteurs nicotiniques de l’acétylcholine.

Le professeur Jean-Pierre Changeux a mis en place une façon très élégante de présenter les unités différentes nicotiniques. Malheureusement, le temps soit parfois inestimable. Alors, quand j’ai écrit ma thèse, je n’avais, tout simplement, pas du temps d’utiliser son système de classification. Sinon, j’aurais perdu le focus. Aujourd’hui, j’ai quelques difficultés avec mon ordinateur. Je ne peux pas introduire français dans mon nouvel ordinateur …

Je me souviens que j’étais très heureuse de lire ce que son laboratoire a fait. Ce, parce que, la France a une place spéciale dans mon cœur.

Maintenant, je continue avec mon travaille sur la pharmacologie théorique. J’ai du temps. Cependant, j’ai quelques problemes avec la langue sur l’ordinateur. Il y a toujours des explications. Je voudrais à vous présenter alpha4 * et bêta2* unités comme des autorécepteurs nicotiniques functionnels. Maintenant, je ne pouvais pas trouver le signe de l’alpha et bêta. Toujours des obstacles.

Professeur Arvid Carlsson a présenté comment des autorécepteurs dopaminergique fonctionne dans le cerveau. La concentration détermine l’effet fonctionnel. Peut-être, des autorécepteurs nicotiniques functionnent d’une manière similaire.

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

Des bisous,

Anna

I spend some time with my auntie. She has now stepped in as extra mother. Her husband is very keen to take her to concerts, dinners etc. He really takes care of her so it is very important that I take care of her. So last night we went to a concert at Berwaldhallen in Stockholm. It was a lovely concert. Makes your brain use areas normally not in use. Being an active listener makes your brain tired. To understand a piece of music.

Like trade between different countries unites, music also unites. A true way to make peace.

Since I live alone I have to take care of myself also. Good to practice some body combat.

Wishing you all a very nice and sunny sunday.

Anna

It is dark outside with a modest temperature. I am waiting for some time off so I can continue to write on my book. Next week my friends from Spain will travel all the way from south of Europe to Sweden so I am looking forward to meet again. It is always a little scary since we haven’t met for such a long time. But since we have spent a lot of time together I think we will catch upp quickly. We speak French. I understand quiet a lot of Spanish but I cannot speak Spanish. And that is rather frustrating.

You may have noticed that I like poetry. Poetry has been for me like coffee. Something I didn´t like at all in the beginning when I tasted. But, the more you have tried, the more you like it. Today I find it rather difficult to live without coffee. Espresso, I can imagine the smell. Can you?

I bought this book a few years ago. There was just a feeling telling me to get hold of this poetry. Future will tell if I one day will understand what is written.

Buenas noches,

Anna
