Så var det med det, by Jan Emanuel

I listend to this book in order to understand a little better this man, Jan Emanuel, since he is quite controversial and very present in the swedish media landscape. Somehow, it forms how people think and I wished I would have understand him better. With this book, I understood that he is a very calculating…

Vivre, by Robert Badinter

Robert Badinter was a french lawyer who enacted the abolition of the capital punishment in France. He was jew and lost parents in the shoah and this book is based on two long late interviews of him. C’est douloureux, les souvenirs. Joyeux aussi parfois, mais douloureux souvent. Talking about “normal” people helping other to hide…

S’adapter by Clara Dupont-Monod

This is the sotyr of a family, seen through the eyes of the 3 kids. This is a cruel story, but who is lived by very different ways by all the family members and somehow, their common unhappiness gather them together. Il n’y a qu’une lettre qui ne sépare “lire” et “livre”. Si tu ne…

A morning coffee

Life in 2026 has began. It also means 21 years of blogging, more or less active of course and a need to clean and preserve at the same time. 21 years is a long time in a life and somehow I need to have these memories up.

Rosendal’s library

We had a calm day today, with a walk to the almost new opened library. It’s practical, when you register there, you can go inside and read, borrow, leave back books, even if there is no one working there at the time.

To stand

When life gives you lemons, make limonade. Maybe that’s a good way to take care of downs life puts in our way. But sometimes, there is only one thing to do: to sit down. Not too long, in a secure place, and let it go. Today was a winter day with magical views outside, even…

Blue

The color of fear. Or the color of something you give to a bride. Or of a sky in winter when the air is freezing cold and without clouds. Or the color of a timid hope if everything around seems black. It was a while since I wrote on here. Life had been going on,…

2024

Long time no see, mostly because of an interesting real life and a bad computer. Here, in Sweden, the winter has shown its brigther side, with a lots of snow since the end och november and pretty cold temperatures. It’s fine!

To find a path

When more than the half of 2021 has gone, it’s not easy for me to accept that the winter is on its way and I didn’t get the sun I needed for this year yet. I miss the laughters of a funny story, I miss the new insights of a rich discussion, I miss the…

To decorate a cake

Oh what for a job… I bought some things to make decorations on cake and I failed twice already. The first time, I tried to make meringues. It seemed so easy on the YouTube videos I’d watched, I had all the ingredients so I happily made the batch… Which ran through without letting me time…

Spring

Printemps Voici donc les longs jours, lumière, amour, délire !Voici le printemps ! mars, avril au doux sourire,Mai fleuri, juin brûlant, tous les beaux mois amis !Les peupliers, au bord des fleuves endormis,Se courbent mollement comme de grandes palmes ;L’oiseau palpite au fond des bois tièdes et calmes ;Il semble que tout rit, et que les arbres vertsSont joyeux d’être…

Åh Uppsala

Living here since more than 5 years now, I force myself to look at the castle and the cathedrale every day. I try to get this city under my skin, to belong here somehow. This morning, I took a walk in the city and made some pictures. It hadn’t happened since a long time ago,…
