Eight out of nine books that I have read As most of the books are in Swedish, I will continue in Swedish Bodil Malmsten – Mitt första liv. Den gudarna älskar dör aldrig. Det verkar som man anti...
Jag har bestämt mig för att ta en bloggpaus på obestämd tid. Tyvärr har jag varken tid eller motivation för tillfället, eller ja, framför allt är det nog motivation som gäller både själva bloggandet ...
This week a short, animated film has been circulating on Facebook among all my friends with a connection to Belgium, as well as in the office. And since my Walloon (i.e French-speaking) colleague was...
Not really a recipe this Wednesday but a list of stuff that you can serve if you want a Spanish tapas evening! And not much cooking involved, just opening cans, slicing and arranging on plates and in...
This is where we are going this weekend: As we say in Swedish “a repeat favourite” (favorit i repris) – last Sunday I gave O the same birthday present as 5 years ago: a trip to Stoc...
My friend P No 1 and her husband G have created a really cosy home in Geneva. They complain that it is a bit small, the balcony is not very practical (long and narrow) and the prostitutes down on the...
It is O’s birthday today and even though he is not too keen on birthday celebrations, I decided to plan for a small birthday lunch with his friends. As our current place is so small the plan wa...
I haven’t had time to blog this week, as I started to work (again) on Tuesday for the same European project office where I worked in May-June. Also, in the evenings we have been busy trying to ...
This morning we got up at 04 (well, O got up at 04 and I 15 min later) in order for me to be at the airport on time for my very early morning flight. I had coffee at the airport with a Flemish friend...

I will soon write more about our Spanish holidays but I just realised that I haven’t shown you more of our little attic home… Probably because I haven’t had much inspiration to make...
Well, no, we are not travelling again but 2½ weeks ago we hit the road when we drove south. We usually drive to Spain via the French Atlantic coast, via Paris and Bordeaux. This time, since we were n...
We came back from Spain on Tuesday night after a 13-hour long drive from Aragón. The toughest part of the journey wasn’t actually the long hours in the car but to carry all the stuff we had bro...
Still in Spain, and assuming that I won’t have much time for blogging, I have prepared and scheduled this post beforehand. The photos are from an excursion O and I did in April when we were vis...
A few weeks ago a blog reader asked me: how do you manage to travel so often and to so many places? Quite a pertinent question, especially as I am on holidays at the moment – in Spain! When I w...
This is actually not my recipe, I found it on the great blog of Havtorn Design – run by two sisters-in-law who blog about interior design, flea market finds and family life. They also have a li...
The first year I lived in Brussels I would every now and then hear people talk about a city called Aix-la-Chapelle, which I (of course?) just assumed was a place in France until one day I realised th...
You might remember that I have mentioned a few times that there are wild parrots in Brussels? Some of them hang out in Parc Leopold apparently, and my parents used to see them in another small park c...
I have already written about my grandfather’s smell, that was a post about my morfar or maternal grandfather, and here’s a reference to my farfar (i.e paternal grandfather): his sofa! Wha...
Since I recently showed you what my old neighbourhood in San Juan looked like, I thought that it might be interesting to show what you might see if you would go for a walk in our part of Brussels. Th...
It has been a long while since I published a recipe, and for that matter an etiquette poll, but since my blog inspiration in general has come back, I am also more motivated to take up this Wednesday ...
We have been going through some tough times lately and when on Saturday we decided to go to Ikea for the second time in less than two weeks, O asked me if Ikea is our comfort zone, is it where we go ...
Roble amarillo at the end of March Or not really, at least in Swedish I think we say “flora & fauna”, not the other way around but since my last blog post was dedicated to animals and...
Trying to group together some photos from the last few months. I realise that I still haven’t shown any photos from our trip to Normandie in May, and there are some photos from Spain in April t...
Time flies and it is almost 4 months ago now that we left San Juan and our life in Puerto Rico. I haven’t really had time to miss it too much, but I think about our great friends there very oft...
Sunday life in Brussels during a heat wave and the World Cup in football: Life in Brussels without a washing machine at home… How did people carry their laundry before Ikea came to town? I coun...
The many Belgian flags (to show the support for a unified Belgium) have in the last month had some company: I don’t know how it is in other cities, but in Brussels people definitely show which ...
Some more photos from our Midsummer weekend in Skåne: We went for a small excursion on Midsummer day (Saturday), driving south towards Brösarp’s hills, Vitemölla and Kivik. Vitemölla is less to...
