It’s about time to make changes and perhaps change the traditional face of a blog. Lemback Blog has undergone a lot of changes even before but never adopted a layout that’s out of the core of blogging. I preferred a simple chronological blog layout since I started blogging, and modified free themes to suit my blog. But the rise of [...]
Today marks the day when hubby and I decisively register a personal domain name for a website. That was way before we heard about the word “blog”. While many are creating a domain nowadays for blogging purposes, ours then was to build a personal website and at the same time to hone our knowledge on HTML- [...]
I have finally found the right image viewer plugin for this blog. I’ve always wondered how those thumbnail images on other sites just pop-up when clicked right in front of you without leaving the site. It’s useful when I want to post two or more images and with thumbnails I save space and keep the post shorter than showing all the real [...]
I couldn’t think of sidebar contents to fill in the spaces left after my adsense was disabled. I needed to change my theme since those spaces were customized primarily for adsense in my previous theme. My apology to Amor dear for such a short time I used the theme. I didn’t want to modify the theme any further just [...]
I am overwhelmed and proud to have this new theme on my blog, especially that it’s created for me by my long-time online friend, Amor. Perhaps we share the same hobby-net surfing, which drew us to find each other’s site. That was before we started to get engaged in blogging. Four or five years ago, [...]
I’m trying to go with the colors of summer although the weather up here remains somewhat gloomy and gray. I still can’t wear short-sleeved blouses and skirts out in the chilly air. What a weather! But the sight of trees with dense green leaves makes me feel like the summer weather is coming anytime now. The day is getting longer and [...]
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, [...]

Online Catalogues For Easier Shopping
Shopping online is a trending activity in front of the computer. It’s, however, a decisive choice to browse for catalogues online before indulging into excessive shopping. The eckersleys art craft catalogue, for instance, gives an overview of the products for art and craft enthusiasts.
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 [...]
