Or cats, to be more precise. And a dog. I almost forgot what fun it is to have cats around, the free entertainment and falling asleep to the purring of a cat… waking up at 5 am to let the cat out of the room and again at 5:05 to let two cats back in. Still they look at you with their big eyes and you can’t do anything more than mumble a sleepy “cute” and go back to bed.

Other than that my heart is somewhere in between Sweden and Romania. It’s always hard to leave Stockholm just as I know that it will be hard to leave Bucharest. Christmas time is family time and I can’t really see myself now spending Christmas anywhere else but at home in Romania. I am saying it like this because I have another home in Sweden, or at least that’s how it feels like. I guess this happens because both places offer me quality time with amazing people and great things to do. Right now I wouldn’t want things to be any different, says me while I am writing here surrounded by 3 cats and eating Swedish godis, looking at the glowing lights of the Christmas tree and planning my next days in such way that I make sure I meet everybody I want to meet, rest, sleep, read and work a bit.

I wish I said that it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas but actually things look a lot like Spring is coming. It is warm, no snow, though the mountains looked amazing when flying over them, and I miss the cold and icy wind of Stockholm, because it’s the season to actually enjoy the cold. And I want it to snow! As I doubt I will have any time or be in the mood to write anything the next few days, I am taking this opportunity to wish you all Happy Holidays, may they be exactly as you wish them to be! I leave you below with a night-time pic of Karlaplan taken a few days ago on a beautiful snowy evening.
