Two happy girls,

Once again it has been fantastic winter day here in Sweden. It has been a good day for me and also to my small cute 4-leged friend.

In lunch I had booked a fur cut for Sally. She is nice and cute with her teddy fur, but it is not so easy together with snow. So I took our small Sally to the city and she got a cut. Now she is like a small ball of freezing bones and skin :) I know, that it is not nice to laugh on her, but she looks so cute now. In home, she tries to be as close as possible, so that she could keep some warm. The other thing is to go to outside. We are not that popular at the moment in her mind. I want to go out with her or let Sally to go out alone, but in her opinion, we are idiots who want to see her to freeze :D It feels nice to see her now with short fur. Looks more like our Sally. Perhaps now I will get to keep up her with my tempo.

After I had got back Sally from the hairdresser and had lunch, I met up with one girl. I had seen on net that she had jacket from Peak Performance for sale. Lately I have got a teeth to bleed for that trademark. It started home, when my cousin talked about it, but I could never buy before, since I was very big person and their clothes are bit smaller from normal size. During a past 5 months, I have bought some clothes from Peak Performance. So, when I saw that jacket and saw the size, I thought first that no, I should not buy. It is too small for me, but I decided that, ok. Even that it does not fit me now, when it should be a good motivation for me to get my goal and when it will fit perfekt for me. I came home and decided to try it already today. I must say that I was very happy. It fitted me very well. I can even have a knitted sweatshirt under it. I must say, that all this have made my day.
This week has went so good so far. My husbands birthday present have came, I got a very good grade in Economy specializering and have had time to prioritize me a little bit more. I have had time to study, time for training and some other new trainingplans are made and in Saturday I can go to Borås to visit my dear good friend. What else I want. It feels that slowly the things have start to go as I would like and love. I have start to feel myself bit more as a human again. Now I just have to hope that winter will last a little bit more. I just love it. It is so beautiful outside. It gives a lot of energy. Now, it is time for family. Soon I will go to bed, because, when Saturday comes faster :P

Have a nice evening!

95 years since Peace Treaty of Tartu,

Today Estonia celebrates 95 years since Treaty of Tartu was signed between Estonia and Russia in 2nd February 1920, ending the War of Independence. Estonia was the first democratic country to sign an official agreement with the Bolshevik regime and it was a first time Estonia got it's independence from Russia.
The wish to end the War of Independence in Estonia was evident by the summer of 1919, but the government had to consider the countries of the Entente and its neighbors, who did not approve of peace talks with the Bolsheviks. The breakthrough was brought about by the failed attack of the White Russian North-western Army in autumn 1919. This affected the Estonian military-political situation of Estonia and changed the attitude of the Western countries. Peace talks in Tartu started on 5 December 1919. The Estonian delegation was headed by Jaan Poska, and the Russian by Leonid Krassin (later Adolf Joffe). The main obstacles were differences on the border question – the Bolsheviks demanded Setumaa and the eastern part of Virumaa – and increased Russian military pressure, in the hope of securing a better position at the talks. An armistice was achieved on 31 December 1919 and the final peace treaty was signed on 2 February 1920. In the treaty, Russia recognized Estonian independence; all areas settled by Estonians were accepted as part of Estonia (including Setumaa and Narva). Russia gave up its possessions in the Republic of Estonia, agreed to return the treasures evacuated from Estonia, and ceded 15 million gold roubles to Estonia. The two countries established diplomatic relations.
More about Peace Treaty of Tartu can be read in Wikisource, where also articles have been taken out. Also from Histrodamus, where can see the road to our Independence.
That independence lasted until 23 August 1939, when Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed under in Moscow and Estonia together with other countries was annexed by Soviet again.  Now, we are independent again and it feels good.  It is good to see, how much Estonia has gain and achieved with this independence and how much more the small country can achieve in the future. I am very proud to be an Estonian.

Have a nice day!

So peaceful,

Today the weather outside in Norrahammar is so peaceful. In the night it have been snowing again and after I had cleaned some snow I took a long powerwalk with my small black friend. If someone loves winter as much as me, it is our little Sally. She just loves to keep her nose close to the ground and eat the snow. Here is some pictures from our walking trip.

I just love winter and it's pureness. All is so white and so peaceful. It is so innocent outside. Not surprising that I love winter.

Have a nice day!
                           Love,

Quiet Saturday,

Saturday has arrived and it has been a nice day. It has been a day at home. Just some small trips outside.  In the same time, it has been a nice and mild winter weather. Most, what I have enjoyed has been a snowing. Nothing to complain. Training for free of charge and same time good way to burn some calories :)
I have also taken time to  make my school works. It should have been handed in next Friday, but I decided to do earlier. That means, more time to me and to my other things I would like to do and have planned to do as well in next week. Some coffee meetings and meeting in local Lions club. Same time I hope that I can spend time with handcraft. Have some ideas, what I would love to try. If I succeed with it, when I will also show it.
Tomorrow will I look some more skating. At the moment there is World Championships in skating in Sweden. Have also planned to take my husband out to cup of coffee as we did last Sunday. It felt cozy and good time and something we have missed bit. Espresso House, here we come :D Good coffee :P It is good way to take care of the cold I have got :D
Now, it will be little bit more TV. In the evening it will be my favorite film again - Sex and the City 2. There is some movies, what can be looked as often as it shows or on DVD :D I can't remember anymore how many times I have seen that film, but it is never enough. Always it is good to look again. So, I hope that you enjoying your evening as well as I do. It is a weekend and time to relax. Wonderful weather outside, perhaps winter will finally arrive and good cozy time inside in home.
 
Have a nice evening!
