As time moves and the summer (in Sweden) passes by, I still find myself writing small bits and pieces. I didn´t continue with the classic literature course since I early on felt it was not what I wanted right now. I just want to write creatively about anything I feel like writing about. I journal. I sit with my writing projects and try to write … Continue reading Still thinking about writing
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

The sofa, the tv, a kitchen table and a small chaise is all that … Continue reading Moving from Sweden to Zambia

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 after a long time! This is winter! Summer disappeared and so did I. Most of Autumn was spent working and reading and trying to catch as much sunshine as possible until the darkness arrived. I managed quite okay until the end of October when I got a cold and after that it has just continued being hard. This week I got a flare again … Continue reading Soon time for Holiday in Zambia
Can´t take much credit for this garden but am still going to brag a little bit about it. Or I wont write so much about it, maybe just leave the photos here to look at later this year when it is getting cold and harsh and grey and unfertile, and did I mention cold? I leave them here like a mental memory, a note, an … Continue reading Summer garden update
We have summer weather now. All this talk of weather, the controlling nature of its matter. How it changes moods and affects bodies. Weather in Sweden is everything, and nothing. Nothing to rely on. Sometimes I let myself wonder how we would be as a society if we had good weather all the time. Scary. But right now weather is good. This week we are … Continue reading Always this thing called weather
