Christmas day. I am very happy. Such a beautiful day with a nice walk. I have followers from various countries so I better tell how it is in Sweden right now. A lot of people think we have polar bears everywhere. Not really true

There is no snow in Stockholm right now, but in the country side there is a little. Not enough for skiing but lovely anyway. I love to hear the sound from snow when you walk. I did not see any signs of elks, deers et cetera. Only dogs prints. If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the day when there is traditional rabbit hunting.

I have thought of a poem this holiday. Will try to write.

Rather busy day. But nice. Good to be at home. I like to have Christmas feeling, and no Christmas without “Janssons frestelse”. It is easy to make. And delicious. Tasty. I love food. But in balance. Not too much. Western countries problems. But I can´t help that I like to cook. A long time since I followed one of my favorite interests. Find a new recipe. Find right ingredients and make food. Lots of food. Different types of food. Cross cooking.

Wishing you a Merry, Merry Christmas!

PS. Terrible, I have one of these chocolate craving days.

Ett lite lättare kåseri & kvällsdrömmeri.

Jag har jobbat idag och det är ganska skönt att bara vara hemma och mysa. Ikväll så syns stjärnhimmelen ganska bra trots att det är mitt i Stockholm. På landet är himmelen så otroligt vacker. Det blir en annan dimension eftersom det är få lysen. Brukar se stjärnhimmelen när jag promenerar med vovvarna på kvällen. Då går det knappt att urskilja några stjärntecken. Det är så många stjärnor.

När jag växte upp så var december månad en av de mest spännande månaderna på hela året. Träna inför luciatåg. Lära sig verser utantill. Skriva verserna på pappers manschetten ifall man skulle glömma. Stearin som föll på glittret som slingrade sig kring ljuset, som gjorde att man ändå inte kunde läsa vad man hade skrivit på manschetten.

Baka lussekatter, pepparkakor. Syltor, julkorvar, julskinka, inlagd sill, vörtbröd. Det var ett dignande julbord. Det mesta hemlagat. På kvällen var det risgrynsgröt med den obligatoriska mandeln. Det som blev över lämnade vi utomhus på gården till tomtarna. Precis som i filmatiseringen av dikten “tomten”. På något mystiskt sätt blev alltid fatet tomt. Tomten fanns någonstans i faggorna.

Jag var trogen följare av alla julkalendrar. Missade inte ett avsnitt. Eftersom jag har viss förkärlek till sagor så minns jag bäst den grekiska mytologin. De grekiska gudasagorna var fascinerande och även att lära sig olika stjärntecken. Jag kommer ihåg ett fåtal, däribland Orion som jag ser från mitt fönster och som gör mig sällskap ikväll.

Bon nuit mes amis,

Anna

Home after a week of work. Made a nice supper. I just love cooking. Chicken and various vegetables. And rice. I have learnt to be alone. I know that there are many, many people being alone. But I like company a lot. May sound like a contradiction, and in a way it is.

I think a about my theoretical pharmacology. Have started a new routine. Almost every night I have tea and honey. My suggestion about a balance between Dopamine and acetylcholine is rather interesting. It is daring. But I feel sure about it. This is work based on many years of thinking. Maturation of thoughts and ideas. I believe pharmaceutical industry are interested. However, my door to research is closed. My main focus is to write. Write, write, write. About Havanna. And north Korea.

I feel very disappointed in Swedish government. I hope the re-election for Swedish government will lead to a change. For the better. Alliance.

With all my love,

Anna

Rather late. Just a few words tonight. Nice day at work. It was lovely this afternoon. Saw snow slowly falling from the sky. Beautiful. I have missed snow. Everyday life is quite important to me; because that is life. I pass this subway station often (see above). Made some food tonight. Boring to have dinner alone, but I made my best to entertain. Writing a little. Touching upon a difficult subject: happiness. Not easy to explain.

Don´t let the bedbugs write,
