A trip to Sigtuna Today we went for a trip to Sigtuna, a cute, little town which is one of the oldest towns in Sweden as well as one of the smallest. I have been to Sigtuna twice and on these trips I have had coffe at the same café. I'll probably go there again someday. If I would go there I might have coffe at the same café again. It's a lovelly place situated in a house from the eigtheenth century

Francais n'est pas facile... J'ai etudé Francais a l'ecole mais ce trop longtemp. Je vais de repeter le grammair et le vocabulair. Les verbs est le mieu difficile.

Today At this very moment I'm sitting at the table in our kitchen and I'm writing this entry in English. My doughter is making vanilla buns. Occasionally she is asking me something about the recipie. I like vanilla buns so right now I'm thinking about how delicious they are.

Reading English books, part 2 There is two authors that makes me belive I can be a writer myself. One of them is Isaac B. Singer. Every sentence of his is so simple and perfect that you may think "How hard can it be?". When you make an attempt, you´ll find out exactly how hard it is. The other one is Swedish, Pär Lagerkvist. The books of his, I read in Swedish of course. Both got the nobel prize, well deserved.

reading books in English I use to read books in English. One of my favourite author is Ian McEwan. The first book of his I bought at a flee market, where you could fill a plastic bag with books and pay only 100 kr for the whole bag. The book was "The innocent". It took me forever to get through the first 20 pages. I didn¨t get the story at all, I was about to give up. Then after 20 pages I was hooked. The story was so fascinating, both romantic and horrible. I have read other books by the same author since, and he never disappoints me. Well written and unpredictable stories. And there is always that something in the story that tells you that things is going wrong and whatever you do, it´s not going to make it right. And you are happy it´s not your life.

When you have hired someone... When you have hired someone, let´s say to build you a house, and you want to ask how the work is proceeding. How do you ask if you want to be polite? Is it possible to use: - How is it going? - How does the work proceed?

Differences Sweden vs USA For a couple of month ago I ordered some makeup from a website in the US. When I got the order confirmation, it read like this "we are absolutely thrilled to have you as a customer.." I was startled, what did she mean? Does she know who I am? Or am I her only customer, if it´s so special? But now I think it was rather nice. In sweden you just get a simple, "Thank you for your order, it will be sent to you in 3-5 days".

to learn a language I wish I could speak many languages, then I could travel all around the world and always be abel to communicate with people. It would also be very interesting to understand what people says to each other on buses and in restaurants etc. When people speaks a language I don´t understand I imagine they are discussing very important matters like peace on earth or how we can solve the issue of the earth getting warmer. But maybe they just talk about what to have for dinner.

How to start a conversation? For me it´s always hard to find words when I´m going to start talking to someone. I want frases that I can learn by heart and then I imagine they just going to pop up when I need them.
