Snowy and a bright day ❄️

So much winter! It has been a great day. I like and enjoy winter when it is like today. Snowing, no melting and not so cold. I have my skiis in the countryside though. I usually go cross country skiing at least once a year. We’ll see how I can make this possible. I do not know if the famous Vasaloppet is cancelled or not. I have never participated but it is entertaining to watch. However, I am happy that I could go for some fitness training today. I am not that strong so not so much weight. But anyway. Music and exercise is always a perfect combination.

I made some cookies this weekend. It is fun to try a new recipe that is a little difficult. It took quite some time, but during this pandemic it is good to have something to do. It was a chocolate bomb. These cookies got better after a few days. Chocolate. So much cacao. Woman’s best friend.

Chilly weather ❄️

We have winter. It is cold, and today it was snowing in the morning, but sunshine during the day. A cristal clear day. Bright. I actually had to have a look at the SMHI weather forecast, and this weather is here to stay for at least a few days. Life is up and down right now. I like winter and it will continue. Spain are having lots of snow. More snow than here. Spain has become Nordic. To keep a sunshine spirit up, I browsed some music and found this old song with A-ha. Nice tune.

Stay safe 🐾

Writing and languages 🇸🇪🇬🇧

Dear readers, I hope you all have started 2021 with a smile, and with a wish that this will be a good year. By the end of this year I believe that the vaccine has changed living a lot. However, I still hope that we will keep eg hand washing routines. The virus has forced us to spend more time at home. And in my case, reading and writing keeps me busy. Writing is part of my life, and with some professional help, I will soon provide you with Swedish translations. Since I have friends who do not know Swedish I have written in English. I hope this will be appreciated!

Stay safe 🐾

The exception that proves the rule

2021 is here to stay. A new, fresh year that will bring change. A vaccine(s) protecting us from COVID-19 is available, and it will take some time for immunity to grow. A new year also means new laws. Pandemic laws will be introduced. Early, very early, I mentioned that the term “Force majeure” must be broaden, or maybe a completely new subtitle must be introduced. It seems like there will be “Pandemic laws”. I hope that they rather will have laws instead of recommendations. Recommendations make people unsure, and that is dangerous in a pandemic society.

2021 has so far been rather stormy for the Trump administration. It is hard to believe news showing messy sceneries from the Capitolium. And people have died due to this. It reminds me a little of the French July revolution in 1830 illustrated by the famous painting “Liberty Leading the People” by Eugène Delacroix. Maybe these reactions are due to the Corona virus. Biden and Harris are vaccinated so they are prepared for transition into the White House.

Anyway, just a few reflections. I have had some days off from writing, and I am starting this year slowly. As usual, I end by saying:

Stay safe and stay tuned  🐾
