Finally, kids are going back to physical school this week! No one is happier than me. I usually do all the school runs so it means early mornings, but it also means undisturbed days and no mum our auntie shouting around the house. This weekend we have been preparing for school and making sure we have the most important stuff for an easy start. We … Continue reading Weekend of wood work and school prep
It´s still raining most of the time. Today we got a little bit of sunshine and it was warmer. Not much have changed since last weeks update. We are still doing online learning and internet is slow, slower this week, the rain is still heavy and the thunders frequent. I am also still in a funk, still tired like I get no sleep. Which I … Continue reading What´s streaming?
Time seems to be moving slow. So slow. Right now. Another second, minute, day, they just drag themselves forward. We are all still right in the pandemic and here in Zambia we are just in the slow down of the forth wave. That meant that the government pushed the school start forward, from the 10th of January to the 24th. And as parents putting their … Continue reading January funk
New year, new dreams? For me, not really. Same dreams and time is just moving on. To be honest I had nothing against leaving 2021 behind. It was a year of great things, like a intercontinental move, but also a year of loss. My grand mother died in April, we left Sweden behind (I love living in Zambia but when having two countries there is … Continue reading Farm dreams
Have been thinking about storytelling lately. The whole idea of stories and how we bring them to the world. A lot of it has to do with me studying creative writing, I guess, but it also struck me as I share more in Stories on Instagram while we are settling in here in Lusaka. Struck me, as in what stories am I telling through the … Continue reading Thinking about storytelling
We arrived! Actually, we arrived almost exactly five weeks ago. We have been very busy so have not had any time to even reflect on arriving. I am still in the phase were I am realizing that we are staying here, and are not only here on vacation. I keep looking at my weather app (Swedes, you know what I am talking about), and thinking … Continue reading Lusaka we are in (and the first month has been hectic)
Summer is sweeping by and we are trying our best to enjoy it at the same time as not being to sentimental, since this is the last Swedish summer in a while. We have been to the beach, walked in the woods, barbecued and biked. Me and Alice read a lot (check out my bookstagram if you feel like getting some reading tips). Mayani is … Continue reading Small snippets of Summer from my camera roll
Words from in the middle of the packing and move out of our apartment (have not left Sweden yet), some time back, was to tired afterwards to even post it: “I just sat down in the sofa after putting on the dish washer and connecting my phone to our bluetooth speaker. The sofa, the tv, a kitchen table and a small chaise is all that … Continue reading Moving from Sweden to Zambia
Just a quick check in. I am still around. Still struggling with burn out symptoms and still trying to get better. Still feeling like winter almost killed me, but that feeling is there every Spring. This year Spring is teasing us and delaying a bit too long but, we have had some beautiful days and as usual I am there with my (phone) camera trying … Continue reading Delayed Spring and snapshots
Hi you all! How are you doing? How was your week? I had a bunch of bad days this week. Last week was good, and this one was not. Last Sunday things felt so good, I felt inspired and pretty energetic. This week I have been tired, anxious and had head aches. I know that the whole thing with recovering from burn out is that … Continue reading Doing the yoga, burn out and stuff
