anonymitetens frihet...

I decided to change back to not have my blogger connected to my google+. Not that I’m writing about any state secrets, but for some reason it’s so much easier to write as Lunicrax than as myself. Anyone who reads this likely knows me anyway and who I am. 

While waiting for my diary to arrive in the mail (I ordered an amazing one from amazon) for the new year, I decided to revive this place a bit. As I mentioned in one of the two entries from last year, I don’t lack things to write about. I just never do it. 

Tidbits:

- My PR card renewal arrived today! Normal processing time: 3 months. My processing time: 8 months. Not because of my dubious background or anything like that, but because the first card got lost in the mail. Following protocal, I had to sign a “solemn declaration” of not having received it, and wait for another 3 months until my solemn declaration wormed its way from the bottom of the pile to the top. Previous wait notwithstanding. Sigh. But today, finally, I’m free to return to this country if I go abroad again. Rumour (friends with contacts at border crossings) has it I would have been let in eventually anyway, but likely not in a short time. 

- The sand I spread out on our massively iced over parking at the side of the house mysteriously disappeared, and I slipped and fell for the 2nd day in a row. Impressive feat, considering I was already very carefully crawling along on all four. Getting tired of the ice. But, happy as long as there is no snow. Meanwhile in sweden, I saw some extremely happy words from someone inland who saw snow flakes for the first time this (and last) year. They are enjoying an incredibly warm, wet and dark winter. Not sure what I prefer. Probably this. 

If anyone still has this in their feed, please kick on me to get some photos ready.
