S/s Bitos

It was apparently owned by Otto Hillerströms rederi, Helsingborg around 1920. I am writing an article on a letter sent to my grandfather working on the ship in 1923 and it would be nice to know a bit more about the ship. Do you know anything that you would like to share with me?

Morning at work

Since I started taking a bus at 7 o'clock, I have had many quiet mornings at work. It's pretty nice, actually. I'm making a cup of tea and nobody is talking, calling, moving around.

En dag hemma

Så himla skönt! Jag har bakat muffins! Ska stryka tvätt. Tänker inte nämna här vad jag har gjort mera, för det handlar bara om jobb (bl.a. BIO112-föreläsning på torsdag...)! Klockan fem ska vi äta får-i-kål!

Lichen trail on the internet

Wow, I would like to follow this trail from Aouth Africa! Need to learn italian language...

Early fall, adjusting

Mertensia maritima

I was happy when the semester started, because then I would have no time to think and ponder. But I am already feeling the urge to relax, make a halt, to reflect over this fall and the situation I find myself in. I like being busy with teaching and writing and everyday academic work. I like feeling useful. But, I must remember to give myself time to "do nothing" once in a while. I must remember to sum up and to allow myself to be proud and enjoy the accomplishments!
