Indulgence

This time the Blogging By Mail had Indulgence as its theme. I sent a parcel to Hawaii (see comments in previous post) and my parcel arrived from Michigan and contained tea, peanut butter pretzels, chocolate, a mix to make dip sauce and a book. Thanks Gina! Unfortunately, I have brought the wrong camera with me back, so the camera with the photos are still in Sweden. So you will have to be patient, and return here in about 3 weeks time to see the photo.

And yes, I know... There has been no updates. I had great plans for this blog. But then I bought the apartment in Sweden, and found that although it is a very very little place there is a great huge need for things to be renovated/refreshed. And now I am back at work, with so much to do. But patience is a virtue, would you believe.. :)

Travelling, working, travelling.... and reading

Started up this blog some weeks ago, since my last blog got "infected" after a trip to Africa.

However, since I started Books that travel, I have travelled a lot - and worked even more. Just got back from one trip, just to unpack and pack for another journey early tomorrow morning. So not really any time to write. But I hope to have more free time later this week.

Some books that I have read lately are: Dear Fatty (Dawn French), What I Loved (Siri Hustvedt), The Yacoubian Building (Alaa Al Aswany), Somewhere Towards the End (Diana Athill). And, of course, quite a few Swedish books. But more about all that later.

While waiting for this blog to get off its starting block, head over to Stephanie's blog where you will find yummy recipes and all about the new BBM.

Oh, and did I say that I will get the keys to my very own pied-à-terre in just over a week's time? Years of saving - and waiting - will then be over. And I will have my own little place in Sweden again. It's going to be soo great!!

This is my new blog!

This is where I will write about what I read, what I eat, and what else I can think of...
The old blog is no more, here's to the new blog! :)
I hope you will come back and read more.
