In training

Last week has existed of a lot of trainings,after one of them I met some friends in Helsinki and on the weekend it has been a training for a job for Nuorten Akatemia.

During autumn I will be doing school visits  through this organization, teaching kids about responsible transport and climate change. Teachers can do a request through Nuorten Akatemia to get a visit from one of us. If you want a visit in Swedish or English please mention that in the request or contact me.

Lovisa Tourist

We did some tourism in Loviisa, which you can read about on the other blog.

Blame it on my wild heart

Thesis done, waiting for the results and my official papers and looking for jobs. But most importantly I am enjoying some time "off" from most things. I am now an aunt BTW, since yesterday.

Today's annoyance. Why are the best versions of some songs live and impossible to find anywhere but on YouTube?

Here are two I just can't get out of my head:

Stevie Nicks is improvising during make-up. The original version of this song is so lame compared to this.


John Mayer/Genn Phillips? are doing an awesome cover of Toad The Wet Sprocked - Walk on the ocean (thicker than water)

STBK yesterday

Check Muffins blog :) (good when other people take  pics and blog about you when you are too busy). Saturday last day in Finland for this time :/

Busy Busy Busy

Tomorrow we're heading for Finland! I hardly have had any time to even think about that this week so let's see how my packing will go tomorrow and how much things I will forget. Oh well!

Just to let you know; I'm doing also a project course in sustainable development this spring and my group will focus on the food waste issue. We've just started a blog and a facebook page related to that, feel free to read and like them :)

New Experiences

Our landlord unexpectly brought some wild boar meat to us yesterday that he had hunted. So today I tasted wild boar for the first time. The meat was super tender (might have had to do with the part of the meat we ate) but the taste wasn't bad either, I couldn't really decide though on my verdict on the taste side.

 

I also stumbled upon a new song from Beyonce's sister tha brought me right back to teenage years. Today, after a couple of glasses of red wine, I kind of liked it.

Thesis Desk

Let's hope the statement is true!

 Thesis desk:

10 years

Time passes so quickly! Apparently it is 10 years ago in May since I graduated from Secondary School (gymnasiet). Jeez! Hopefully I will graduate again this year about the same time if I just manage to write my thesis ready before then; which I should unless big catastrophies.

I'm not nostalgic about it at all though, I'm happy I graduated and all that but I like becomming (older) and wiser, and more clever (I hope).

I always thought this song sums it up so well (John Mayer again, sorry for that! :) )

Agility in Spain

I wish we could train agility in this landscape!

Lost & Found

We had a little car problem during the week which is not excellent when you live in the country side but it's fixed now so that's good. We can reach civlization again without walking 5-6 km to the closest bus-stop! Woohoo!:) (biking is of course fine when the snow is gone)

Otherwise our life is boring. Stefan works hard. I work hard on my thesis (or so I tell myself) and Faro continues life as normal.

Stefan also fixed me a "new"(second-hand) Iphone as I had lost the old one, we still think the old one might show up one day.

My lost list at the moment:
-original wedding earrings (which is why I bought another pair a month before the wedding)
- driving license
- iphone and ipod
and probably a lot more things I haven't realized yet. There is a few things I'm missing like a woolen sock but I haven't properly counted them as lost yet as I haven't looked for them properly.

On my find list is though:
- gloves (that I though I had left in the store but they showed up in my sock drawer). They were lost for maybe a month.
- necklesses which I found behind a drawer in Liljendal. Which had been lost for about a year.
- Black jumper which I found in a random bag in Liljendal . Which also had been lost for at least a year, which means that that bag is probably completely unecessary if I hadn't used it for that long...

Anyway there is hope I think for the rest of the things to show up still, just wait a year or two!...I am happy though as I have found a friend in Sweden who is just as absent minded as me :) It's comforting knowing someone who understands the logic of the face cream in the spice cupboard.

Yesterday...

...we participated in the tollermeeting in Uppsala. Very fun and Faro behaved very well so I was happy with him!

Otherwise we have also started agility again after the Christmas break.

These pictures are from before Christmas though ( I really need to get a phone with a proper camera again).

Faro looks like he is just taking a hike, but I promise you he is fast! Perhaps me trying to take pictures slowed him down a bit.

Faro

Nothing is boring when Faro is around, not even watching a movie...

My part is usually pillow/chair basically part of the furniture....

It was quite nice however when it was -18 outside to have someone warming you up, now it's suddenly plus 4! Crazy weather! It's nicer though to go out for walks, even if it's wet now.

Back to School

Phew, heavy work the next two weeks ahead, but after that it should be a bit easier (this is what I imagine at least to keep me going). Yesterday I was out and about from 10-21 (which mean I left at 9 and came home at 22) and tomorrow is another day from 9-20 (so basically 8-21) Luckily thursday is free-ish," just" need to do a thesis interview.

Vooohooo!

Faro and Stefan two are on the boat from Finland on the way back "home", I can't wait to see Faro it's been way too long without him! I also need our daily walk-routine back, I've spent way too much time in the sofa already in 2013.

I should probably post some pics from our Spain trip, will try to do it soon!
