and off I go

The birds manage on their own, but not us humans.
I'm talking about flying.

So tomorrow morning I'm getting on a plane to fly to the cold but beautiful Stockholm.

Christmas holidays, here I come!

Sunday hike = Advent hike = Monkey hike!

advent hike

It's Sunday, which means hike day.
The sky is blue and it is a beautiful day out there, this will be great!

But Sunday this close to Christmas also means advent. We have come to the 3rd one of the year today.
Have a great one everybody.
In a weeks time from now I'm in Sweden.
Hurray.

sing lucia

I haven't sung in public since I was in 6th grade I think. But tonight I sang loudly, a Capella, dressed in white and with a candle in my hand, in a very crowded Spanish pub.


Oh no that's a lie... Not that I sang Swedish Christmas songs tonight, but that I haven't sung in public since 6th grade... Last time I did was probably when I lived in Australia. And that was when I was in 11th-12th grade, but let's just settle at that it was many years ago I sang in public prior to tonight performance.

Anyway, it went well, it was fun and we got applauds and also some strange looks as we walked along the bar street singing. However, it's only Lucia once a year so I'll give them that, especially as we were celebrating a Swedish tradition in the middle of HK.

lost and found

Something terrible happened when Kris and I were in Boracay earlier on this year. I lost Skippy. Skippy is my book mark that has been with me for years and have done many journeys with me. And we lost him... Sure he got lost on a beautiful beach, but he was left there all alone...

However, my beautiful boyfriend who knew how much this upset me (it really did... stupid perhaps, but true) has now found him!
OK, I understand that it's not my old Skippy that got delivered with the post today, I understand that the old Skippy has gone to Skippy heaven, but I feel that the old and new Skippy share the same soul... And he was bought and flown to me with love.

So thank you so much my darling Kris!

And welcome home Skippy!!
You were lost but now you're found...

the number is two

In two weeks time I'll be in Stockholm. Can't wait!
And today it's the 2nd of Advent.

The number is obviously two.
Have a great Sunday all of you.

ice skating

I talked to my mum the other day and she laughed when I told her that I was going ice skating, and said: well that was never your greatest talent was it...?! Hmm maybe not... I guess I've always looked more like an uncoordinated bambi on ice than an ice princess...

Anyway, we went ice skating earlier on tonight, and I might not have been the prettiest sight on the ice, but it was fun and (mum)I didn't even fall once!
