Cinnamon buns!
So Im now officially a 'bun-mama' as we call them in Sweden.. Bullmamma! I have baked cakes, cinnamon buns, and sold them at the office. They werent great, but still its my 1st or 2nd try, so Im quite pleased anyway.. And, I got 10 pounds for them, so Yeah! :)
I still have a swollen knee from my fall a few weeks ago, so my exercise hasnt been too great lately, but as it got worse after my interval runs on Thursday, I thought Id leave it for a while..
So, I baked cinnamon buns instead, and I bet you they were a bit too nice to keep away from even if they looked like mini buns with too much flour.. Ah well, I didnt eat too much, so my healthy diet is still on track :)
This week has been superbusy, Im going to Oslo with work to volunteer on our MTG United for Peace Tournament for kids that is held this weekend. We have 12 teams from 12 of our countries where we operate that are playing against each other and most likely will be making friends from all over the world. I was there last year too, and it was a great experience so I am so looking forward to it even if its superhard work! But the look of the kids when they have so much fun is priceless.. And being so emotional as I am, this can only end in tears, but happy tears of course.
Ciao!

Picnic and dry waterfalls

Jan 29 2018 Saturday Village picnic My new Saturday habit is to go to the Farmers Market at Le Sherpa, north of the city. To indulge in all this fresh vegetables and exciting food (read: Momo's) is just a perfect start of the weekend. This Saturday just gone, my dear friend Nima met up with me at the market which was really nice. I was glad that he had the time for me as he is nowadays the Hon. Member of Province Parliament , or Mr Congress Man as I call him. I think that is pretty cool, he is the only person I know in a parliament, and I am sure he will do a lot of good for his province. This particular Saturday, he wanted to go to a village in his province for a picnic, he told me to come along. Last time Nima told me to come along was in 2016. I ended up in a jeep with my sleeping bag and 5h later on disco roads as they are called, I was in his village Sermathang up in the mountains in Helambu region. As it happened, it was Nepali New Years Eve and I ended up celebratin

Thank you!

I am so happily surprised by the generousity of people around me! Thank you so much for supporting Childreach and their work in Tanzania! My knee is feeling a lot better even if it looks horrible still... blue all around, but easier to walk on, def. Cant wait for it to be ok to run on again, this is doing my head in. So much energy and nowhere to spend it! :) Went to see Chelsea-Swansea on Saturday, had a great time at the stadium! Was invited by the friends and I must say it was a great game and event. And Chelsea won after playing really well, so that was very good. I was told that the players have lots of groupies waiting for them outside, travelling from all sorts of places to meet their idols.. lots of girls hanging around the stadium to get a little glimpse.. I guess I just never thought it would be like that with footballers, but then again, Beckham and Cole do have famous girlfriends too.. Anyway, another week to hit and I am sure I will be back on my training soon again!

The mountains are calling me again!

Everest national park.. It is time again - I am off to Nepal in 5 days to trek through the lovely mountains of Annapurna, western Himalayas. It has now been 2,5 years since I left Nepal after a month packed of many experiences I will never forget. Many memories being from the amazing trek to Everest Base Camp, scenery from a dream and hard like a nightmare to the mind and body. But, somehow, wonderful and amazing at the same time. Amazing views.. Other fab memories are from meeting people, lovely Nepali people. I usually say that the Nepali people are made of pure goodness, that is how it feels. Honesty, love, humbleness.. All these things in one go. One special person is of course my "little brother- Sano Bhai" Padam. He walked with me during the Everest BC trek to ensure I wasn't going to get too sick in my altitude sickness bubble of constant pounding headaches and heavy legs along with strong nausea.. You who are sensitive to altitude will know w
