The novelisation of Star Wars IV - A New Hope. It was the first book I read in English. I was about eleven at the time and I had only had English in school for a year. I needed a dictionary for every third word and it took me more than six months to finish, but it turned me onto English books.

I'm in favour of debating nazis. We just have to remember to use hard-hitting arguments.

Back in the pre-Covid times I spent a couple of years embroidering this 55cm x 100cm tapestry for my niece's sixth birthday in 2018. I have no idea what this kind of embroidery is called in English (and the internet wasn't much help), but in Norwegian it's called klostersøm.

My sister got bored and decided to crochet a new pouch for my phone (my old one was getting really worn and ratty). And before anyone asks: Yes, the flap is supposed to be off-centre like that. I asked her to make room for the headphone plug since I still use wired headphones.

As egg-shapes go, it could be worse. You could look like the Fukushima mascot: Fukuppy. (And yes, that was its actual name)
