Places: Gothenburg

Did I ever tell tou about the trip to fabulous Gothenburg? The weekend before last we packed our bags for a visit to Sweden's second city, Gothenburg on the west coast. The city was a surprise, not at all as compact as I thought it'd be. It is a great place for hanging out with friends, enjoying an ice - cream in the park. For the first time I tried Persian food (have no idea how I've managed not trying Persian food) and it was delicious. So, the trip was great and I'd love to go again - especially to visit the penguins ☺

In Your Face

 Now that I know how this works, I'll never leave you alone. In the world of selfie-perfection - and perfection in general - it feels good to remind oneself about the imperfections that are sometimes hidden, sometimes not. The size of the imperfection is not what matters, what matters is how it makes you feel. 

Chasing Sunsets

The long and dreary boat journey home. Drunk people debating politics and tax money. German tourists drinking beer in a slightly more civilised a fashion. And the sunsets. The sunsets make the trip worthwhile. 

Spectacular Stories

How is this ever going to make a spectacular story? So many tales have been told about anxious teen years and unhappy memories. Word after word on a sheet of paper that is no longer real paper from trees but an electronic device that tracks every step of every minute that makes up this fabulous life.

I have seen faces today. Faces of people who spent years and years in a sun-soaked classroom with me. I cannot recall their names, I hope they do not recognise my face. Privacy, anonymity,  I  cherish thee.

And there is a notebook. Made from real trees and there is a picture of an Istanbul tram on it. And ink of different colours fill its pages. But those pages do not tell the story they are supposed to tell - the story of this spectacular life.

Speaking of spectacular, have you noticed that the title of a book is the main reason you pick it from the shelf? Travesuras de la nina mala. Finnish translations are the best - somehow Master and Margarita became When the Devil Arrived In Moscow. How could one not feel tempted to read a book with that title?

P.s. I will try the ap and yes, I do speak Finnish☺

Testing!

Hello friends! Sometimes the best ideas are so obvious that it takes a great effort to find them. Like when one realises that is possible to blog via email. At least it was possible a few years ago, hence the test. Can you read me? ☺ The last few days I have been thinking about time, efficiency and a way to find both. There is so much to do, and actually enough time. My problem is that my basal needs, such as eating, always gets in the way of my flow. So annoying.

Now, time to work!

Fancy Foodbox

Toodles! The weekend is once again coming to an end... Where do they go? This morning I had the luxury to curl my toes, stretch my body and remind myself that there was absolutely nothing on my schedule. And it turned out to be a fantastic Sunday, with some shopping, running and eating strawberries. And cooking. 

The camera on this iPad is dreadful. Not too long ago I gave into peer pressure and got myself a smartphone, as well as an account on Instagram. Look for Zsuzsi_A and you will find me there.

Wohoo!

The past few days we have been buying tickets for here and there, but tonight we made the most fantastic plan of them all - Bratislava and Budapest! I am so excited right now!
