A day with Asiya

Avina’s goddaughter Asiya is one of the happiest and sweetest kids I have met. She comes to stay with her “grandparents” (Avina’s parents) every weekend, and today we went for baby-gym and had a lot of fun with her all day. Spending quality time with a 2-year-old is intense, but oh-so rewarding.

Terrorists and Lucky

As if it’s some kind of absurd rule – I dreamt about Lucky again. First night in Malmö and there she was, together with me amongst terrorists with very low intelligence occupying some kind of school building that we were hiding in and trying to escape from. Now, I have surrealist and strange dreams quite often and they are usually very entertaining once I realize that I am dreaming – what hurts is having my dog there, as she usually has a very vulnerable position and I feel that I have to protect her. I also kind of know and realize, at some point in the dream, that she is already dead – and that I need to save her because I want to spend as much time with her as possible. This is very strange, I know, and unlike other dreams that I usually realize aren’t real – these actually manage to drag me in and make me sad. The psychologist in me is going bananas with theories, but I guess I better go to sleep now and see if I get to meet her again.

In the air.

Norwegian doesn’t only offer first class customer service – agreeing to change the date of my ticket without charging, it is also one of very few airlines in the world, and Europe’s first, to offer free wifi on board. And it has animated puppets for the safety instruction video and cards – starring a blonde mother with a very thin waist and huge hips. Well, why not I guess.

Yesterday was a great night! Can’t wait to upload the photos of the whole group acting out the roles of our Halloween outfits. Piotr and Kris left for Warsaw early this morning and Avina and I went to a thai restaurant just next to her place, shared a huge plate of delicious pad thai and went back home to spend the rest of the day in bed, eating candy and watching animated movies. “It’s so fluffy!!”

So I’m up in the sky again. On my 14th flight in less than 2,5 months. Time for some me-time. Malmö next.
