SvenskaIt has really been cold this weekend, -15C. And lots of snow! But, unfortunately not in Stockholm. Time to enjoy winter by skiing and also on ice like the photo above. Nature is beautiful wintertime. Sharing winter photo.

It is beautiful outdoors. The temperature is below zero and that keeps the snow from melting. I have been skiing every day this week. Not much snow but enough for skiing. And walks with my sweetie. She likes to go as she wish in the forest and she is having a lot of fun. We have not seen many animals but deers and birds. However, a few traces from moose and lynx. I have to be careful because the lynx can catch my sweetie.
I have kept my camera with me and I share a few photos. This has been a very good way to start 2018. I have followed the news on tv as ususal and it is good to see that the use of plastic bags is decreasing. Seen programs where whales have had plastic bags. So, let 2018 be a year to have the world environment in focus!
A year passes so rapidly and it is good to stop for a while to see what 2018 can offer. I have stayed with my family over christmas but over New Year I went to Dubai. I needed to see some sun since it is so cold and dark in Sweden right now. However, this week seem to be very beautiful. Maybe I will put on my skis. Not so much snow but you can go skiing.
My journey to the UAE was very intense. Lots of new impressions. I stayed in the older part of Dubai, rather close to a river. These memories will be good for my future writing. Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2018.
Last night I saw “My Fair Lady” with a colleague of mine. It was such a long time ago I saw a musical and it was great fun. When I went to high school I was very interested in listening to music in combination with theatre. I new a lot of lyrics by heart. And I liked to sing a lot. Those days are gone, but I still sing when I am alone but I hope nobody listens.
I have a break from writing. I have struggled with this book for so many years and there is so little left to do, but I have decided to wait til after New Year. I need to fuel new energy. Maybe I think of last time I wrote a book, but that was a thesis. A book and a thesis is not the same thing I have noticed. But still, I think “what can I say if someone says – “this is not right”. I must always have an answer. A defence. And it is fun because it is intellectually challenging. Sports for the brain perhaps. Since I remember my thesis, I recall many years and it felt good to show my previous mentor Professor Jörgen Engel the cover of the book. He got interested in reading. Some friends of mine have also read.
So, to think of something else, music is in my mind. West side story, Lucia songs, my favourite artists etc. By the way, it was nice to listen to Magnus Uggla at My Fair Lady. I remember a lot of his music. Very nice.
