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!

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!

Jo tack

Hur gick jobb-intervjun igår? Jo, tack, bra.

Hur går föreläsningen imorgon? Tja... Här är en bra biologi-länk iallafall!

Grattis i efterskott, pappa!

Ser inte fram mot: Lab-möte kl 9.00 på HIB.

Ser fram mot: Writing seminar kl 12.15.

Är glad: för att jag tog 6.50-bussen idag. Fick precis ett telefonsamtal från H som sitter i bilkö, det är tydligen värre än på länge över Danmarksplass...

The CALS group at yahoo

Dear California Lichen Society,

I would like to express my sincere thanks for the work that you put in before and during the IAL conference in Asilomar this summer!

I can only imagine the amount of work and time that the members have invested and I am impressed!

I had two specific goals for the U.S. trip and one of them was to find 'the Mystery Lichen ' of Cals in the field - which we did! And when I came to Asilomar subsequently and saw your display with X. pollinarioides in a central position - I was touched and proud. I now understand that the species is not extremely rare (but not extremely common, either) and that you guys will look after this little endemic in the best possible way!

All the best wishes

Louise
