Balmy

It's pouring outside. And w.i.n.d.y. I think there will be [more] flooding in Varberg tonight. But here in my livingroom, it's quite balmy actually. There is Hawaiian music jammin(I really miss Hawaii lately!), sweet-cakey-candles burning all over the place and I'm sipping Bangalore tea. I'm all about ambiance and atmosphere... and this feels quite nice despite the fact that my brain is rolling around in Swedish verbs. Yes. Rolling.


My school bag?? Why yes, this is from Ethiopia! Harar to be exact! I got it for my birthday this year from Samuel. The front engraving is of one of the famous gates that leads in to the old "walled city" called Jugol. It's camel leather. Let's just say, I've been to the camel market in the heart of Jugol [[adventure]] and even though they are truly the coolest animals ever... they are eaten frequently on the Horn of Africa(especially Somalia)... and the people always find ways to use every part of their resources. At least no part of this animal went to waste :/ And I LOVE that it was hand-made by an Ethiopian. My most favorite people :)
