Hi friends!

I am very tempted to write in Swedish but I will try to write in English as often as possible. But sometimes, you just feel to use your native language. I spoke a little French today. Good to keep it up. Would like to learn Spanish and Italian. It should be easy because they are based on latin. I know I can read Spanish because it is rather similar to French. And if I don´t know; I guess.

There are times when I think of how languages started and became this multitude. That is, for me, beauty. To listen to different languages. Not understanding a single word; but to listen to the melody. Try to pick up a few words. Watch body language. Try to understand and communicate. Someone told me that love is the whole world´s language. Everybody understands love.

Yes, I definitely need to learn more languages. In Sweden we have a lot of TV programs in English. I suppose that is why almost every Swede speaks English.

What am I up to right now? New year is approaching faster than I would like. Still haven´t found love. Or love havn´t found me. I haven´t been lucky in love life. So I have lived like a nun for several years. After wasting many, many years I am very careful. I have also had close friends that haven´t been nice to me. Not wishing me happiness in my life. Since I am found of biology, I always find explanations in human behavior with biology. That gives me comfort.

Since I am adopted I have always wanted to have a family of my own. This might be difficult to understand for some people. But, however, I believe this is every woman’s dream. So even if I wasn´t adopted, I would have had the same wish. There are differences between man and woman. Biology rules.

New Year soon. I have to wait til the clock turns 12. I will write a little something for you. First, I thought about writing about how it is to be a woman today. But not. I will write a speech to males. A huge challenge. I have two days of thinking ahead. Wish me good luck!

Lots of love from Anna

 

 

 

 

Cold and crispy clear day

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.

Evening before Christmas

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.

 

Orion

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,
