Sockerbit NY - sweet & Swedish

A candy shop selling Swedish sweets will open in Manhattan this weekend. Hah! We might have to, just might have to take a detour past this place too while we're there? :-)

If not I'll just have to settle for a fresh non-exported supply of my favourite Jelly Belly's. :-D

Sockerbit doesn't seem to have spent so much time on their own webpage yet, but I found a few links with references to it:
Resespanarna - Sockerbit (Swedish site)
A Swede in New York (Swedish blog)
DN.se Sockerbit-laddar-för-Goda-affärer (Swedish newspaper article)
Plockgodis i New York (Swedish blog)

And naturally Sockerbit's own FaceBook page - Sockerbit sweet & swedish

Bad combination

Woollen jumper with an oversized collar + WoW incident leading to character's death + large cup of tea = dead character + soaking wet (hot) collar + fast exit from chair + laundry.

I leaned forward in excitement and thoroughly soaked the collar of the knitted jumper. Great. Didn't discover it until I sat up and felt a very warm/wet sensation from the area of where the collar was...
Fortunately the jumper is brown and I hadn't poured any milk into my tea yet.

Ding 75!

Glömsk and I celebrate by flying to the nearest capital and do some training.
It is no longer necessary to portal all the way back to the now completely changed old orchish capital Orgrimmar. A lot of interesting new things are going on over there so I'm tempted to roll a new character to have a taste. But the expansion is due next week (three days) so I suppose I can wait for then when the new races will be available. On the other hand, mother in law is visiting then so it'll have to wait, after Christmas is a more likely time to upgrade and go exploring. :-D

Joy!

Wee! I just found five new episodes of The Guild. :-D And Blizzard released a nice new patch for World of Warcraft last Wednesday that made life SO easy in-game.

The Guild. :-D They manage to keep me (very) entertained despite me not spending any, zip, zero, gaming time the past months.

New episode

Wohoo! :-D The Guild released first new episode of season 4, I'm so happy. :-D And now that I've watched it I better get going with the cleaning of the house... 8-)

Beach 2010

My sister just reminded me of one sunny day at Surfer's Paradise on the Gold Coast of Queensland Australia (that's a mouthful! :-D).

For the first time in a long long LONG time a memory from my time in Australia didn't bring me automatically back there. :-D Thank you, three weeks of +30C!
It has gotten to the point where I have removed the "check the forecast" as the last (and first) thing I do every day. There's no need to check the weather, it is going to be warm enough for sandals, skirts and no need for a jacket. :-D Exactly like in Sydney.
No need to be obsessing about the weather when it is reliably good all year through.

Just because of that I betcha this is probably the last day of that kind of weather... 8-)
