Apologies...

I have to apologise.  I am so sorry for neglecting this blog.  I have been posting very regularly last year when I first moved here.  But now, ten months later, I don't post as much.  I guess I had lots to write about at first when everything is new and different.  Another reason could also be that I had a lot of free time.  Those were the days before I had to go to school four times a week and before I had to start planning my new business.

These days, my hours are quite full.  It seems like I have lots to do every day.  I think most of the time goes to learning Swedish.  Even after coming home from school, I would do my own reading and studying.  I have been borrowing books from the library to supplement my learning.  I also try to read the free newspapers and magazines sent to the home.  Pete also helps me out with my reading.  I would read aloud and he would help me with my pronunciation and translation.  It's not easy.  We could take an hour just to get through a few texts.

When we're not studying Swedish, we would be discussing our business.  We have had to write a few business plans and discuss the budget, marketing and other aspects of business.  We are currently finding location for the business so we, or rather Pete, has had to make lots of calls and emails to realtors and other companies.  We have also had to view the locations which could be in the outskirts of the city.  I never knew it was going to be so difficult to find a nice, suitable location.  But I guess it's better not to rush and make impulsive decisions.

To relax, Pete and I also like to watch tv series.  We have quite a few series to catch up on and sometimes we would be tired out by the Swedish and business discussions, so we would get comfy on the sofa and just watch tv for awhile.  We have even figured out the tv schedule and work our chores around the timetable. 

On top of reading Swedish texts, I also try to catch up on current affairs, mainly about the going-ons in my home country.  Sometimes there are lots of news to catch up on and I go to a few online news websites and blogs.  It could take quite awhile to read all of it, and before I knew it, a couple of hours had passed.  Then, there's the daily cooking and cleaning routine.  Oh and the games.  I do like to play some games on my ipad as well.       

That's how my days are like.  It has been quite routine these days, so that's another reason I don't have much to write about in my blog.  I also haven't been baking much these days so I don't have recipes to share yet.  I will try to write more and regularly, though.  I know it's not fun to check out a blog and find that it hasn't been updated.  So, yeah, the blog is back.
