A talking cake

Last year in May, my friend from Stockholm sent a MMS to me. It was a birthday-greeting from him to me, a picture of a birthday cake with the text "Happy Birthday to you!" (in Swedish of course). My friend found the cake on three:s homepage and sent it to me. That was a funny cake.
Later in the summer, my sister had her birthday in July. I sent the birthday-cake as MMS to her, with same text and congratulated her on her birthday.

Some minutes later, I got a text message from her, saying "Happy Birthday on your 39-years day? I am only 36 years!" What? I haven't written that! Where did she get that from?

My sister explained to me, it was the birthday-cake that talked and said that. Oops! I didn't know that the cake talked too! Because I'm deaf, I didn't heard that.

But my sister understood that I couldn't hear what the cake said.
She was happy anyway. :-D

Strawberry-cake

My strawberry cake from last year,

taken with my mobile cam.

Soon it's my birthday. My wishing list? I don't know what to wish, I think I have everything I need...

Now I know what to wish!

- Eat strawberry-cake.

Fresh strawberries are usually not available in shops up here in north during the winter and most of the spring. The strawberries usually come to the shops in the end of May.

So I have made it to my own tradition to always have strawberries on my birthday cake. And it also become a première to eat strawberries on my day.

Strawberries....yummy!

The tourists are here now

Yesterday morning, when I walked to work, I saw a group of Indian men walking in front of me to city. They had just arrived with the train and were walking from the train station to city with their luggage. Probably tourists. They were wearing typical Indian clothes, Indian "skirts" or whatever you call it, those clothes Indian males are wearing in India.

It was cold outside + 4 C in the morning.

Poor guys! They must have been freezing when they got off the train!
How will they manage in Sweden? :-D

Where is the summer?

Went out for lunch today, and what did I see?
It was hailing outside.
And cold + 3 C.
Where is the summer?!?

A forgotten boat

Somebody has forgotten his boat.

It's been here on the shore during all the spring.

Spring picture

An ordinary three up here in north. No leaves yet.

+ 9 C degrees and sunny today.

I have been unfaitful!

Yesterday I went to an another hairdresser than the one I usually go to. My friend told me, one of her students in her sign language class work as hairdresser. I didn't know about that hairdresser before. So I decided to go there and try her.

Great to communicate in sign language with the hairdresser! Unusual to meet an "official" person who know sign language. I hope that more and more hearing people learn sign language, to be able to communicate with deaf little easier. And it is so fun to learn something new!

And about my hair? Yes, it was alright, I cutted my hair little shorter and it looked good.

Big Brother

I haven’t watched Big Brother at all this spring. Before my travel to Laos, I watched Big Brother every day. When I was in Laos for almost 2 weeks, I had a break in watching. When I came back home, I forgot to watch BB and lost interest.

But when BB did an exchange with Thailand’s BB, I started to watch again. Boo from Thailand came to Swedish Big Brother, and our Swedish Anton travelled to their Big Brother in Thailand. Very interesting to learn about the Thai culture! When Anton came back to Swedish BB, I stop watching it. Mainly because it is not subtitled.

My favorite is Anton, even thought I haven’t watched BB for months. The other people in BB are just embarrassing.

Hottest spring ever

The summer is finally here!
Last Sunday was beautiful and nice weather. Sunny all day. About 15 C.
Feels strange to wear summer clothes when the ice is still there in the lake near my home.
But it is warm enough to wear summer clothes.

Last year, same time, it was cold in the air, but the ice had already melted away.
This time, the ice is still there and it is really warm weather.

Strange weather… but I really appreciate to get rid of my winter clothes and start to wear summer clothes!
