We got the keys to the new flat today. One room should be redecorated already by our landlord – in the colours we wanted. We will check out the result tomorrow – and hope for the best 
Will it really be packing boxes now??? I mean – it is sunny and warm outside??? … I’ll keep you posted.
This is what I spent yesterday night with – running 5 kilometres in the Vårruset (translatet maybe “Springtime run”) in Norrköping.
My first run of this kind ever, but certainly not the last one. The 5k I managed in almost exactly 30 minutes, not bad for someone who is a bit lazy with training sometimes and only started last autumn with some more serious running.
The next step might be Mittnattsloppet in Stockholm in August – a run that starts around 10 o’clock at night over 10 kilometres. The training goal for this summer
Twingly turns 3 and despite of being on the verge of leaving the toddler age, it shows quite some talent – and ideas. I cannot say anything specific here apart from that there is still a lot to come in 2009. Stay tuned.
This is how we celebrated today – with CC (Cake and Champagne) – and Coffee. So triple-C in fact.
To the next 3 years to come, may the force be with us
P.S.: Trust me, the cake now does not look half as beautiful anymore. In fact it is less than half left. And it gets less and less very rapidly #delicious #cream #marsipan #strawberry-filling …. OK, I better stop here then.

P.P.S.: …and here the link to the official birthday post on the Twingly Blog – learn what we did and what there is to come!
…. good riding equipment! Last weekend I did one of the great cources of SMC (Sveriges MotorCyklister). I was one of the few ladies taking part (think we were maybe 6 among 62 peeps). Apart from my bike, the second oldet on track (there was also a Honda from 1979), my leathersuit got a lot of attention. First I thought “Never seen a girl in leathers?” – but then someone dared to ask where I bought my suit. Then I understood of course.
So I learnt that most lady riders here try to squeeze themselves into leathers or clothes for male riders – which then fit more or less, mostly less. The result: one does not feel comfortable at all. Too long legs and sleeves, no hips allowed to have etc. – we know it all. As a consequence the security of female riders is also potentially at risk when being out and about on two wheels, i.e. if you cannot zip your jacket and trousers together.
By chance, when I still lived in London, I got to know about the shop GirlsBike2 – and the ladies there really know their stuff. They are riders themselves and I got the most competent advice ever when buying my leathersuit and back protector. Another thing – back protectors for men are usually much too long for women’s backs, yet often ladies have to buy them simply as they are not given a choice.
At GirlsBike2 you get advice in the shop but also on the phone and by email. They also ship their products abroad. Their range is a high quality one and made to fit you, no matter which body shape. You can i.e. buy Daytona boots, one of the best brands on the market. You buy one pair and it lasts forever. Handmade in Germany, by the way. Or you can order like me an Alpine Star leathersuit which will fit ladies with curves perfectly whilst giving you one of the best possible protections on road or race track.
Anyway, check it out online or (better even) visit a shop and have fun riding!
