While we are here in Italy we might as well learn a few words in Italian. Hubby bought a DVD-learning course for Italian a few months ago but I didn’t have time to listen to it. He, on the other hand, had sneaked some time to listen and learn quite many words. His passion for languages has [...]
It’s a wonderful feeling to have been able to escape the drastic winter in Sweden this time. It was -16°C when we left yesterday at dawn; freezing cold, wasn’t it? Hubby’s idea to celebrate New Year here in Catania, Sicily has by far been worthwhile. After three flights from Gothenburg, here we are now enjoying the [...]
Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart. ~Washington Irving Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. ~Calvin [...]
Do you have a radio in your kitchen that you turn on when you’re having breakfast? If you don’t have then you might need this Radio Toaster from OBH Nordica. The name sounds like you’re going to toast a radio but it’s not. It’s a bread toaster with built-in radio. Hubby grinned when he saw it in the [...]
It’s beautiful to see when every place you see is covered with snow. It’s clean and fresh, and no rubbish anywhere. But it’s also a problem when the snow stays longer on the ground and doesn’t melt. It becomes ice and makes the road so slippery. Many would trip, tumble or slip on the way to work and [...]
I forgot it’s Santa Lucia Day today and I was surprised when I saw my boss and my other colleagues wearing a silver glitter on the head this morning. The desks were rearranged like we were having a dinner party. Coffee was served after a brief meeting. We were supposed to have the special bread prepared [...]
We don’t have any intention of becoming a coin collector nor a numismatist. These coins are what we’ve kept from our travels, mostly on road trips, when we needed loose change for tollgates and small snacks. It seems as though we become coin collectors in the end. But not numismatists since we are not studying about [...]
I’m pretty sure you all know about collecting stamps or like most women do, collecting bags or shoes. I do have quite a number of bags but it’s not something I would have thought of collecting. Sometimes we meet people who have the hobby of collecting things and it so happened that I’ve met one and [...]
Yes, yes, yes! I do, I do, I do! I always say ”yes” and ”I do” when Sandra Bullock comes up with a new film. Her charisma is irresistible with her cute but sometimes naughty eyes roll on the big screen. The first movie I saw with her was “While You Were Sleeping” and I became a huge fan after that. And [...]
As you may have known my job includes administering study guidance to students and this does not limit to one or two subjects. Most of the students that I come to work with need help in Mathematics and other subject areas that deal with Maths. Because of this I came to realize that Maths is [...]
Crucible Furnace and Something
It was quite hard for me to tell what it really was then I noticed the piece of info down there. I tried to zoom it out hoping to see what was written about it. Degelugn? What is it? The word is Swedish but even the translation crucible furnace seemed unfamiliar to me. I saw [...]
I wished I could take a break from teaching without compromising my job as a teacher. You might be wondering how on earth could I do it. To quit working would be the only way to make my wish would come true. But it was not the way. Part of my job is tutoring or [...]
