Writing and writing – Trying to find time to write

September 2, 2022August 24, 2022 / Sirri / 1 Comment

There just seems to be too little time in the week when there is so much you have to do and even more things you want to do!

Västerby – Trail runs and tent spots

I was going to Russia – Shaming people or culture won’t help

March 11, 2022March 12, 2022 / Sirri / 2 Comments

Having to cancel my plans to travel to St Petersburg is not worth complaining about when you think of all the people in Russia trying to balance with the current situation

National dress skiing – aka, car in a ditch

February 14, 2022February 14, 2022 / Sirri / 1 Comment

I tried to take part in National Dress Skiing, but nature and cars were against me. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to drive at all.

Jack London's book, White Fang, is filled with beautiful description. I'm sharing just one quote this time.
