Happy Birthday
Anyway, I'm in Ljubljana, everybody else are either in Sweden or somewhere else on vacation. But that's cool. I'll celebrate the big day on Sunday anyway. At the moment I'm at the Univeristy and will soon be heading to the centre of the city (where everything happends) (walking distance from home= 20 minutes, from university= 10 mintes). I feel I need to buy something today and shirts feel so right this autumn. And I don't mean those cute little blouses for women (eh, those are so last year) but man-shirts. Jeans, comfortable boots/pumps and a comfortable shirt is what I want...and need.
Later in the afternoon.
Bought a wonderful shirt and on my way back home (didn't take the bus, because it was such nice weather) I stopped for a Jamba Juice-to-go. Also got a phone-call and tried to handle my purse, my shoppingbag, my Jamba Juice and the phone, like a professional (a la Hollywood star!) Oh, well...LA next?
We're now sitting in our apartment, my brother and I and trying to decide what Chineese take-out we want for my Birthday-dinner. I'm definitely going for the shrimp-chips ;)
We actully went out to eat, instead of a take-out-dinner. Much better :)

Summer drinks
I apologize that I mix languages today, but I figured I post this recpie in Swedish. Perfect for when you invite you friends over for a summer-dinner which I´m going to do today, so I better get started...
1 dl hårt packad färsk mynta
5 dl strösocker
2 lime
1,2 liter vatten
5 dl färskpressad limesaft (ca 12 lime)
1. Mosa myntabladen med 1 dl av sockret.
2. Tvätta de två limefrukterna och skär dem i tunna skivor. Lägg skivorna tillsammans med myntan i en skål och tillsätt resten av sockret. Mosa ihop tills sockret börjar lösa sig.
3. Tillsätt 1 liter vatten och limesaften och blanda tills allt socker har löst sig. Sila bort limeskivorna. Smaka av och tillsätt eventuellt mer vatten.
4. Servera lime- och myntadrickan kall med massor av is och några skivor lime.
Back in Slovenia for the fall
Back in Slovenia now. Spent a couple of days in Ljubljana to catch up with some friends I haven´t seen the whole summer (me being in Sweden and they...well not in Sweden but everywhere else, all from Paris and Ireland to Australia and Taiwan). But yesterday I felt it was time for me to go to Portoroz to chill in the heat by the sea. Off I went with the train and taddaaa, here I am. 30 degrees in the sun, beaches, a lot of tourists. Wonderful. Better work on that tan and collect even more freckles (or sunkisses as my grandmother calls them. Sunkisses does sounds a lot better that freckles!) on my nose and checks. After two months of working and being home in Sweden it now feels pretty good. It feels like I had three different summers this year. The first one with my cousin in Portoroz in June, my second one in Sweden home alone for six weeks and work and now in Portoroz once again for a month with my other cousin (the first cousin´s brother). It doesn´t feel like one summer...who ever said summers aren´t long?
Ok, I´m off to our sailing-club to see if there´s something interesting going on. All it takes ís me...really :)
