I cooked lentils today. On purpose.

Harvesting new potatoes from my very own potato patch! They are so tiny and cute!
I made my first honest-to-goodness autumn soup today that didn't have anything ready-made or from a packet! Cream of pumpkin, carrot and (locally grown!) potato soup, with a touch of smoked curry and garlic. Sounds like a bit of overkill perhaps, but I can tell you it was delicious.
I question the wisdom of putting nuclear power plants in a country prone to seismic activity.
I am faced with the possibility that my son might end up 'petiso' - the doctor said at his 9-month check-up that he had put on plenty of weight but not grown at all in length. I said that it was the third month in a row at 74cm, and the doctor replied: he might just have his father's stature. Noooooooo!
Autumn came suddenly - we went from 32C to 15C in one day. Goodbye summer, hello fashion!
Autumn's abrupt arrival prompted me to transplant the self-propagated avocado plant into a pot and shift him inside - I now have my very first avocado plant ever! And my first pot plant in my new/old house. Please all collectively wish for my transplanting skills to rival those of a cardiologist and for the little trooper to flourish!
Reading an IKEA catalogue when there is no IKEA within 10,000kms is bittersweet torture.
What did I do before Internet? When the Internet is down I am at a loss - I want to look something up and I have no reference section in my bookcase...
It is more expensive to buy a kilo of bread than a bottle of cheap liquor. WTF?
Yay! My favourite Swedish blog is back up and running - for those of you in Sweden who have not yet read 'Katastrofala Omslag', what have you been doing with your downtime at work? Working?
That's all for today.
