I have found myself a new place, so come over for a visit! And if you link to me at your blog - change the URL. Thank you!

And I am getting tired! The same ip number 212.59.105.66 belonging to RIPE Network Coordination Centre sends me spam and today, in the morning, I had 20 spam comments! And even if I manage the spam filtering it does not block the ip number. This is very annoying! I have plans to move my blog to blogger if this does not stop, becuase there I can block in a better way.

So, I am thinking about a little move. =) I will let you know if this happens and even let you know about the new URL.

Have a nice day.

PS: It snows over here!

I found the test at Connie´s!

"You are just a little bit of a show off and like to prove just what you can do. Every time someone double-dog-dared you, you proved that not only could you do it, but you could do it with style."

Take care, Niina

After every exam I have I have a tradition to watch a movie. This time, after sending my exams on Friday to the teacher, I saw Miss Potter. It was a lovely, lovely movie! Talk about imagination and what this made for the story-telling for years to come. I was taken from the start and it was really enchanting. Who can resist a little cute bunny with a blue jacket?

I can see things in her way and sometimes it can feel so childish but in the same so relieving. There is no one like Beatrix Potter!

So, if you have about 90 minutes over - put those minutes to watching this movie!

Have a lovely day!

Yesterday when I picked up the kids from school the youngest one was so happy. She had won a book in a contest they had that day in school on the "Book-Day". She had 10 out of 10 and could choose a book. She picked the Pippi Longstocking and her adventures written in year 1946. The older girl had 8 out of ten and had won some small things that she was happy about.

And the mother - me - was so proud!

Have a nice weekend and take care!

Today is our last day here at my parents-in-law. Tomorrow we will travel back home and a new week with school for the girls, studies for me and work for my husband will start. It has been a rather nice week, even if I have not had so much time over for writing my essay that I have to be done in a week. I hope that I can write a lot during the coming week.

Yesterday we visited a friend to us who works at the Peugeot - where they sell cars. We talked and then we test drove a Peugeot 307 SW (youtube video, beautiful) with a panorama roof! What a feeling, I just loved that car! Even the kids liked it with the extra things for them in the back seat. The girls liked the colour olive green, but that was just for the small cars, like Peugeot 308.

Well, then I have to write something about the movie Ratatouille. We watched it for some weeks ago and I thought that it was a funny and warm movie. You can read more about the movie here and here.

Now I will study some more and wish you a lovely weekend. Take care!

Hello over there and greetings from me! I am sitting here in the living room at my parents-in-law. Mother-in-law is in the kitchen preparing dinner and father-in-law and my husband are out mailing some letters and recycling some newspapers and bottles. The girls are playing.

Easter is over. It was a happy time and I have been out a lot with the kids. Today we went to the city and did some shopping. I bought some clothes for them. Lots of people had the same thing in mind so the city was packed with families and people.

Otherwise my time has gone to studies. I have an exam this week and next week, so I am preparing for that.

The sun is shining. Last night we got some snow. It is all gone now and we can hear the gulls too. Spring is on the way.

Have a great evening.

Sitting here and thinking about things to take with me on our trip to my husband´s parents. We will celebrate the Easter with them. I hope for nice weather and sunshine. Need some colour on my face. But maybe I do not he for the sunshine because of the exams I will have next week - during Easter Holidays, how stupid is that?

I visited my hairdresser yesterday. It was a long time ago since my last visit. My hair was so long and I could not do anything with it. But now it is short and I can take care of it in a better way.

Yesterday I got the results on my last exam I had for about 3 weeks ago. I got an A or as we here in Sweden say, VG. That stands for Väl Godkänd - Very well done or something like that. Or should I say Well Passed. I am happy!

So, better make some lunch and then pick up the girls from school! They had a pottering day today.

My trip to Gothenburg my parents went just fine. I was nice to take the train, sit there and just read and even close the eyes for a while. My dad picked me up from the rail way station and we drove home. There we found my mother - she looked so old and stooping. The strong lady we all knew had disappeared. And the sad part was that she did NOT recognize me! When I was in my room packing up I could hear her say to dad:

- Is she from the home care centre?

It took her some hours before she recognized me and then she was so happy that I came to visit. Happily for us all - she knew me the whole weekend. But when it comes to the time line, she is a little bit late. I asked her if she knew what year it was and she answered that it was 1980!!

It was a shock for her when I told that it was 2008. No wonder that she is asking about dead relatives and friends and wondering where they are.

The weekend was sunny and lovely. But I know that I need to take more time to do trips like this to help them both. Keeping mother some company and helping father so that he can relax a bit or just wash the car without any hurry.

Hope that you all had a nice weekend.
Hugs, Niina
