You are very welcome, Pernnille! ^.^ You definitely deserve this award!
Oo! You have a musical tattoo as well? That’s so cool! ^.^ I think you should do a piece about tattoos and culture. That’d be really neat!

Thanks for the nomination 🙂 . I also failed in all my swimming lessons. I’m terrible at swiming which stupid because I grew up surrounded by sea. Every time we had swimming classes at school I always tried to not have to swim because I was extremely bad at it 😛

Haha! I’m bad at it, but I still love it and I totally understand the oddness of growing up near water because I grew up near one of the five Great Lakes in America. I love the water. I just suck at swimming. :p

Look at the water. When I was in high school I had to wait about 1 hour for the bus to go back home so I would go to the beach and just look to the sea with a few friends, even in winter when it was extremelly cold 😀

That sounds like lots of fun. ^.^ Looking out on one of the lakes during the summer can be very peaceful. Though, I’m not sure I could stand there in the winter. Too much wind for me! :p
