Blogging live!




This is what I'm doing right now. And outside!

Have a nice week-end

I know I will. My good friend Anne-Aurore or Pruno as we call her is here for the week-end and she brought some presents with her.




Perfect right? That was just the beginning of the week-end... I have a feeling the rest will be just as nice!

Dear readers, chers lecteurs,

I've been writing this blog for more than 3 years now and lately I have had struggling with inspiration. I was often automatically thinking "I should post about this" in the beginning, about a million things, things that happened to me, differences between France and Sweden, articles I had stumbled upon... This doesn't come to my mind anymore. Now it's more "what could I write?". I am not sure (and hope not) that my life is less interesting that before. I think it has to do with the fact that I spend less of my free time in front of my computer and am therefore less reactive to write about what I am doing.

At the same time, I have found new blogs that I like and often they have a very personal layout. I am getting more interested in the technical parts of blogs and would like to make this blog more Me in its appearance. The grey background and blue title is a first step in this direction.

But I think that changing the background is not enough. I shoud take the time to rethink what I want from this blog. And what YOU READERS would like to read. I will still be related to me and my interests of course but probably less of a diairy like it may have been sometimes.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT?

En Francais
Je suis en train de réfléchir à la tournure que prend mon blog et ce que je veux en faire. Moins journal intime, plus carnet de collages de choses que j'aime, carnet de voyages. Je voudrais aussi lui donner une apparence plus personnelle, encore plus que les modifications faites récemment.

Et vous, QUE VOULEZ-VOUS LIRE?

Hier soir

Voila ce que j'ai fait hier soir. Après un tres bon bacon burger. ;)

Still alive

Quick update to let you know I'm still there... Why am I not blogging more? I keep forgetting about it. And then it seems there is not much interesting going on in my life right now.

You know the usual routines: work, trying to go to the gym, trying to run for the half-marathon in 6 weeks (haaaaa, panic!), trying to go to be early.

But mostly: enjoying the nice weather we've had here these last few days. So nice! It's been quite a difference before/after Easter I feel. Imagine: we had snow until the 15 of March approximatively. Then we had a couple of days where the temperatures were around 6-8 degrees. Then I went to France for a week and now it's around 12-15 degrees. All this in one month! Ok we still have the crocuses so we're a bit late when it comes to vegetation but we're getting there!

And this week-end the weather is supposed to be terrible (bouh!) so maybe I'll spend some time inside and will have time to post a few pictures from my Easter week-end, who knows?

Easter

No update here for the last few days because I was in France and I tried to enjoy every minute of it. I did. And I wished I had had more minutes... more days even.

Out of the few days I was in France, I spent some here:

Plus ou moins

Cherchez l'erreur... Sur la photo, il y a une chose de positif et une chose de négatif. A votre avis?

St Patrick

Je n'ai jamais fêté la St Patrick moi. Et vous? Pourtant c'est pas faute d'avoir envie, j'adore l'Irlande, j'adore les irlandais qui sont toujours super sympas, j'adore les Irish pubs meme quand ils sont en France. Le Shannon fut mon repère pendant mes deux années de prépa, presque comme une 2e maison. Et pourtant je ne l'ai jamais fêté. Le fait que le 17 mars semble TOUJOURS tomber en semaine, genre un mardi ou un mercredi, ne facilite pas les choses.

Vous croyez que c'est lié au fait que c'est pas notre culture? On fête pourtant bien Halloween qui ne fait pas partie de nos coutûmes. Enfin moi je ne fête pas Halloween personnellement mais ca a quand même un peu plus pris que la St Patrick.

C'est peut-être parce qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup d'irlandais en France (ni en Suède c'ailleurs...). Car demandez à mon amie Parisienne à New York, elle, qu'elle le veuille ou non, elle va célébrer la St Patrick aujourd'hui! J'espère qu'elle le vivra mieux que l'an dernier! ;-)

Under construction

For those who have checked in here regularly the last couple of days, you might have seen that the page looks differently. I am trying to find a new layout, I want something more personal so I am playing a bit and testing some stuff. But I feel that I need a bit more time...



Let's see what we manage to do in the end.
