Hackspett - a woodpecker

Idag har vi haft en livs levande författare på besök: Christina Wahldén. Jag har hört henne prata två gånger tidigare, men uppskattar det lika mycket varje gång. Undrar om hon trodde jag var en stalker när jag berättade det för henne?Christina shared with us that her books will never get translated to English. They say their topics are too hard. I find that very strange.
Ida was brave enough to as Christina a question. She wanted to know how she wrote her books. In school they first have to write by hand and then rewrite on the computer and she wanted to know if Christina did it too? No, Christina writes solely on the computer. So now Ida is going back to her teacher to tell her that not all writers write first by hand as her teacher claims.
Christina is writing a new young adult book that will be published in the summer. The script has to be finished in March and she is halfway in the book. It is going to be called "What your eyes sees" and the cover is already done (and I liked it). It is about three girls. One of the assaults the other and the third girl is the witness. Will she testify to what she saw or not? Ida wants me to buy that book.
Do you know that 1000 persons kills themself every year. It is the most common cause of death for people between 15 and 40. Boys are more likely to succeed than girls. More frightening than the figure 1000 every year is that ten times as many people try to kill themselves - EVERY YEAR. These people do have families, friensd - what do you see?
Finally I am knitting on the february socks from the sock club. These are from sticka.org and the pattern is socks with false cables.
Tog en promenad vid Sigtunaån.
Så här långt har bygget vid Stenstagatan kommit.
Här är hon - Vi är lika på så sätt att vi hellre går framåt än tillbaka. Man håller nämligen på att bygga om bron och då måste man ta en omväg. Det gjorde vi inte, vi missade nämligen de orange markeringarna - utan vi gick till bygget och istället för att vända och gå tillbaka (som säkert hade tagit kortare tid) så bestiger vi detta branta berg. Jag vet inte vem av oss som flämtade mest när vi kom fram, hon eller jag? Ingen av oss kunde prata på ett bra tag när vi kom upp.
På väg hem så råkade vi ut för denna snöstorm. Den kom plötsligt och försvann lika plötsligt.Kan också berätta om att vi åkte tåg och nej - jag har inte blivit omvänd till en tåg-fan. Gillar fortfarande tåg bättre. Tåget på morgonen var 30 min. försent och när vi skulle åka hem så blev det något fel i vår vagn - så vi hade inget lyse.
Today almost whole of our workplace went to Kumla for a day about tvinning. Tvinning is when two different workplaces meet and together through different methods try to figure out stuff ;-) Our tvinningpartner is Kungsörs library and our project is a libraryplan. Today we had to go through four methods through four workshops and these are the methods:
We got there by train and no, I am still not found of trains. I prefer cars. Why? First of all the train in the morning was 30 minutes late and on the back home there was something wrong with our wagon because we had no electricity in it.





Closeup on one of the cards.
Så här såg det ut när jag skulle fota korten. Ockra ville vara med.
This is how it looked like when I tried to take a photo of the cards. Ockra wanted to be part of the photo.
Det här dikten som jag har som inspiration:
This is the poem that gave me the inspiration:
Cat poem:
They will not go quietly,
the cats who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a meow at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terrible.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
that one place in our hearts
belngs to them ... and always will.
