I spotted this lamp post in the country and I thought it looked pretty attractive with flowers hanging from its pot. Instead of leaving the lamp posts unembellished and dull why not decorate them with colourful plants to draw the eyes of passers by to the posts. The lamp posts at the parking lot were embellished with [...]
Summer becomes more colourful when berries start showing up in the bushes. And when I see one I can hardly recognize which kind it is. I can tell strawberry and raspberry. But when I saw this red currant berries I had to ask hubby its name. They’re so tiny I thought they’re lingonberry as they [...]
I was with my Thai colleagues who happened to be plant-lovers. Both of them will stop and admire flowers and any plants they see on the streets, flower shops and plant stalls. Lately, they dragged me to the Green Houses at the Gothenburg Botanical Garden where we had our lunch at the garden’s restaurant after [...]
I’m a little wordless today because I can’t describe my feelings now that school break is just a day away. Although our last day of work will not be until next Monday the feeling of being free from paperworks is considerably relaxing. Anyhow, I am definitely as glad as this red rose bush according to the meaning of [...]
I am totally wordless today. I don’t know why. If only you can hear me talk, then you’ll hear nothing but my cough. So I’m letting these pictures tell what I am feeling right now and why I am wordless and speechless. Aren’t the flowers beautiful? I love this summer flower arrangement in the city of [...]
I was enjoying the beauty of these yellow flowers and while I was doing so, I suddenly thought it will not last. In a couple of weeks, they will start to wither and disappear like they have never bloomed. It happens when fall comes around. But I don’t want to think of that now cos the [...]
France is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world, with serene countryside, exquisite architecture and cuisine that makes you want to move there. Not everybody visits France for its history, or even because they are visiting a friend though. Some go there for the casinos. Despite the fact that different types of gambling, [...]

Quite a late post about the start of Advent observation here but it has just started and just one of the four candles has been lighted. This is one event in this country that I don’t want to miss. Each year I spend time preparing my place for Advent. My kitchen window will always look [...]
To be honest, I hadn’t eaten these small, bite-sized dessert until a few months ago when we entered our room at Sheraton Hotel in Stockholm. I didn’t even know it was called French Macarons. I learned the name on Pinterest when I saw some pinned photos which I thought kind of well-known to me. I thought they’re just plain cookies but when I [...]
Decorative Pumpkins for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner and some children can’t really wait to dress up scary. I always prepare goodies and candies just in case they come to ring the doorbell and rant “trick or treat?” in chorus. I’m not used to decorating my home for halloween but a tint of orange or yellow as a [...]
It’s my first time to join Vår Ruset yesterday at Slottsskogen (park). It’s a yearly race for women here in Sweden and Gothenburg had its turn yesterday. It happens in the month of May when Spring is at its best. All women at work or in different organizations are welcome to join. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a bit of luck [...]
We thought our final gathering at work this time would be uninteresting since we were told that the administration would not be treating us a free Christmas smorgasbord (julbord). We were instead told to have potluck, which sounded more or less pleasing to everyone. But it turned out to be a smorgasbord (smörgåsbord) of international food culture. From pasta to pirogue, spring rolls [...]
Revisiting National Museums of World Culture
This autumn break has been relaxing for me despite the paperworks I’ve needed to be done. But that’s the life of a teacher – working a little on school breaks. We’ve had to work for three days this week and yesterday, the final day, was a competency development at the Swedish National Museums of World Culture. The [...]
