This morning I listened to a program on the radio. It was about the conflict in Syria. Every day there is something said in the news about the war in Syria. I feel so sorry for all humans, living in very bad conditions. I wish I could do something. This war has been going on for a long time, years, and there are ongoing discussions on how to solve the conflict.

I wish there could be a music concert or something similar, where we could give our support. Where is Pavarotti and his friends?
Des bissous et bon weekend,

Nice day today. And it has been promised that it will continue til Sunday. A bit tired so I will not write too much today, just a few words to stay in touch :-). Talked to my parents today (as I do every day) and Lady and Tippa were fine, but they get exhausted by the warmth. Important to have some extra fluid with minerals and salts to have electrolytes balanced. Have also followed the visit by President Obama on iPad. So successful meeting! Wonderful!

These photos are from early yesterday morning before President Obama arrived to Stockholm in Old town.

Many, many hugs from Anna

Bios. Life. A very beautiful word. I you ask a swede what “bio” is, I guess the answer is cinema. In Norwegian “bio” is kino.

Autumn is approaching and I suppose that is why news papers advertise a lot of films. I don’t remember the last time I watched a movie, probably on TV.  But since autumn is getting closer there will be a lot of opportunities. It is nice to disappear into another world for a moment when you watch a film. Action, thrillers, love…

This autumn’s film menu offer a grand variety.

Bio-availibility is something completely different. It was the first word I learnt at pharmacy school. It means how much of the active substance reaches the blood circulation after it is administered. When you take a drug orally, all active substance doesn’t reach the blood. Some may not be taken up by the gut wall, some is metabolized by enzymes. And of course, the liver may metabolize a lot by its different enzymes.

I miss this a lot in today’s discussions about drug efficacy, safety and potency.

Take care,

Anna
