Happy Finnish Independence Day to all of you!
Today I was supposed to tell you about the blogs I read.
Most of the blogs that are in the list to the right I read and then a lot of "green" blogs for news and studies, plus some other curious things. My google reader list is just getting longer and longer...Oops!
Let's see if I can manage to list (only) a few of them that I enjoy reading. I try to pick blogs that are not my friend's now so perhaps you will find something new and I won't favorise anybody.
365 Days of Breakfast
She is usually just posting her breakfast but she is a wedding photographer as well and goooosh I wish this woman would be our wedding photographer! I just think she manages to take pics that radiates warmth and cuddliness. Lovely!
Emmas Ekologiska Skönhetsblog
I've followed her blog since she started her own webshop and now she has just opened her own shop in Stockholm with a friend. I like how brave she is just to do what she believes in. And usually she doesn't spare the words and opinions in her blog either. Fantastic!
Kemikaalicocktail
Probably the only Finnish blog I will ever read but it's about to close down :-( Anyway, she will probably keep writing somewhere else.
Pickipicki
Probably the best food-blog ever :-)
Visit Stockholm blog
Just in case there would be anything going on as we are living relatively close nowadays
Fredrik Backman
I think one of the most popular blogs in Sweden if I understood it correctly, I guess also I got hooked, he is just funny
Elsa Fries
Also food (environmentally friendly food though) and she has such a cool name!

It's been a long day at Uni today doing a group assignment but now to funnier things. Today's task is to tell you about who I was a year ago....
Just for fun I checked what I blogged about in December last year and apparently we had a dinner with my chinese colleague at Nokia almost exactly one year ago. I have never ever had such good tea as that time!
But otherwise I guess I had started to think about studying some more and it led us to coming here. Which I definitely do not regret!
Also, a year ago I managed to do my gingerbread well. This year I got the gingerbread recipe mixed up. I read liters instead of deciliters when it came to water...so let's say that my dough was a bit loose. I didn't have the heart to throw the dough away so I managed to add up with flour so and the stuff was cookable.
Turned out to be ok pancakes! With some banana and syrup they will do for breakfast for some days.
Gingerbread pancakes with glöggi:
Now the good dough is waiting in the fridge, gonna get start on the cooking tomorrow so we can finally have some gingerbread with the bluecheese we bought! :)

Today was the day to tell you about a person I admire.
I'm gonna choose Lone Dröscher Nielsen becasue I just think she is so cool. She used to be a flight attendant for SAS but after she did some volunteer work for Orangutans she moved to Borneo and eventually started her own Orangutang Rescue center.
Unfortunately at the moment she has taken a break becasue of severe exhaustion. I feel very sorry for her and the work they are trying to do, it can not be easy when palm oil is big business. And where there is big money involved and ruthless people with power...well, you know how it goes.
You can read more about her here.

On the list today is to tell about my best friends.
I've never much liked putting my friends into categories like better or worse so I thought I can tell you about my bridesmaids. They are all important to me.
Cia is one of my bridesmaides. We met when I was studying and working in Arcada. It feels like ages ago now! But we had lot's of fun and many parties.
I was her bridesmaid as well (the photo is hers as well):
My sister will be another bridesmaid.
And Jessica will be my third bridesmaid. I am not quite sure exactly when I got to know Jessica since she is from the same area as me where everybody knows everybody :-) She was in the same class as one of my friend's in High School so we hanged out every now and then all of us. But some years ago she and her husband bought a house close to ours in Liljendal and then we started hanging out more and more :-) They have six lovely dogs so it was difficult for me to find a pic of her, we have a nice amount of pics of their dogs though. But in the end I found a nice one of her and her husband in their wedding.

Psssst......

So today is the day to tell about the city we live in. At the moment we really don't live in a city. The closest city is Uppsala, we are still in the Uppsala county, but just on the edge. Knutby is the closest town:
View Larger Map
We live still a few kilometers from Knutby "center". Knutby has a very nice resturant though, Knutby krogen, so that is a plus and I like the little grocery store Ica also.
Otherwise, unfortunately, Knutby is just known for some horrible events that took place in 2004 that I rather not think about too much, at least not when taking the dog out at night. Anyway, as I've said, there is mostly only deers around and we do live in a very nice house, so we are very happy here.
Questions for me and tales about you are still welcome :-)
