what shall I write about?

I promised myself once that if I was going to keep a blogg I was also going to post regularly, otherwise there was no use of it. I seem to be breaking my promise now and then. It's not that I don't lack things to write about. At least not when I'm thinking of what to write and sometimes things just pop up. It just seems that when I sit down to type, it's all gone. So these past few weeks several subjects have come up and lets see if there is anything useful amongst them today:
That I have made a complete fool out of myself ? Is that something to write about? Nah, besides that it happened a week and half ago I'm sure nothing good will come out of it so why dig deeper into it.
My kitchen? Nah, I'm sure that before it is in place you will be sick and tired about the subject anyway, so I'll save that subject for later.
Stella, my favourite subject. Well, she is up for loan right now but please send her back to me in a few weeks time when her heat is over.
Indian Summer? It was a smashing day yesterday, it really was. I won't deny that. And after a cold morning it was so refreshing to be in a t-shirt. Oh, if it would just had lasted!
Books? Books is wonderful subject. It can be discussed in many ways and for many reasons. For me two things pop up: the review list and Nigella Lawson. Let's start with the last one first. Nigella Lawson is my favourite TV-chef and I just love her cook-books (and yes, I do use them too). When I was in London last November the Christmas book had just been released. I don't know how many times I picked it up. Two reasons made me put it down every time: the weight and that I have her other cook-books (nearly all that is) in Swedish. And to be honest it is easier to use a recipe in Swedish than one in English. Laziness I guess. So why are I'm bringing her up now? It's about to be released in Swedish!!!!!! And no, I'm not waiting for Christmas to get it, I'm going to buy it as soon as I can. Then I'm going to start dreaming that her first two will turn up at a translators table, or I just might have to get them in English. I have to admit that cook-books to me are not just a cook-book. It is so much more. I love looking in them, dreaming etc. I also have to admit that even if I claim to collect them it has been sometime since I got a new one so even if the subject is Christmas I don't care, that book is mine!!!!The first thing was the book review. I have read several books about the Victorian era and the wild west. I done some reviews on them, poorly but they are done. It has been ready for posting for sometime but what keeps me from doing it? Perhaps it s that I know that I don't give the books the credit they should have. I have just skimmed through (opps!) a few. Why is hard to say? Were they bad? Don't know. The written language? Well, here I have to admit that even if I think my English isn't too bad, at least one of the books were at sometime hard to follow. But still, the book reviews are written and still spending time in my computer.

  1. I promised myself I would write my blog regularly and I don't always do it, but I love doing it when I want to. I shall be very interested to read your book reviews when you share them.

    I am still reading the book I recently recommended on my blog and am planning to write a full review of it soon.

  2. Lives get busy. Sometimes all we can do is just keep in mind the material we'll use when we finally get the time to post!
