#newyork | THIS IS FANNY

Idag ar det sol och bla himmel. Har i NY har inte snostormen varit sa farlig som de sa pa nyheterna att det skulle bli. 15-20 cm sno ar inte mycket att oroa sig over (men, jag ar ju ocksa svensk och van vid det, hihi). De har de fatt mycket mer uppe i Massachusetts. Barnen i omradet har lekt for fullt har utanfor. Thor tyckte att det var roligt tidigt igar, men pa kvallen behovde jag dra honom ut. Idag tror jag att han borjar bli sjuk. Han ville inte vara ute alls, han ater inte och han ar bara ihopkurad i sin sang. Forhoppningsvis bara en forkylning.

Today is sunny with blue sky. It wasn’t so bad here in NY with the snowstorm like they said on the news that it should be. 15-20 cm snow is not much to worry about (but, I’m also Swedish, and used to it, hihi). They had got a lot more up in Massachusetts. The kids in the neighborhood played like crazy here outside. Thor thought it was fun early yesterday, but at night I had to drag him out. Today I think he’s getting sick. He didn’t want to be outside at all, he doesn’t eat and he’s just curled up in his bed. Hopefully only a cold.

Subway ar avstangda och trafiken var avstangd under natten. Det ar tyst och bara nagra som skottar sno som ar ute. Den varsta snon skulle komma under natten, men nar vi gick ut innan var det inte sa fraligt, sag typ ut som det gjorde igar. Men, nu snoar det riktigt mycket sa vi far se hur det kommer att se ut senare.

Subway is closed and the traffic was shut down during the night. It’s quiet and only few that is shuffling snow outside. The worst snow was supposed to come during the night, but when we went out earlier it wasn’t that bad, looked kinda like it did yesdterday. But, now it’s snowing a lot so we’ll see how the day turns out later.

First time in a dog park

Igar gick vi till en hundpark. Vi gick till en storre och avskild lite norr om oss. Thor fick springa av sig lite. Jag tror dock inte han forstod riktigt att han var utan koppel utomhus, eller sa gjorde han det men tyckte det att det var en lika stor grej som vi gjorde.
Det finns en hundpark precis vid var byggnad med en stor och en liten lekyta. Jag skulle aldrig ga till den stora med Thor. Dar ar det alltid fullt med hundar och oftast stora hundar som leker och skaller pa varandra. Anda agare till sma hundar sager likadant. De sma hundarna kanner sig latt lite obekvama dar. Sa da ar det bra att det finns en liten park ocksa som ar till for de sma hundarna eller om en hund behover leka ensam. Nyss kom Jim tillbaka efter en promenad med T och sa att de hade sprungit runt i den lilla parken. Oh, sa kul det later! Jag och T far nog ta och gora det nagon gang i veckan och da kanske ta med en boll att busa med:)

Yesterday we went to the dog park. We went to a bigger and discrete one north of us. Thor got to run. I don’t think he really understood that he was without leash outside, or maybe he did but didn’t think it was a big deal like we did.
There is a dog park right by our building with one big and one small play area. I would never go to the big one with Thor. It is always filled with dogs and then often bigger dogs that is playing and barking at each other. Other owners to small dogs says the same thing. The small dogs easily feel uncomfortable there. So then it’s good that there is a small park too that is for the smaller dogs or if a dog needs to play alone. Now, Jim back home from a walk with T and said they had been running in the little park. Oh, that sounds fun! T and I probably have to go there doing that some day this week and then maybe also bring a ball to play with:)

Idag ar det tre ar sedan jag vaknade upp i New York efter en sommar pa svensk mark. Jag kom till NY den 28 December 2010 och planerade att va har i 6 manader. Jag stod pa svensk mark den 6 juli och visste inte vad som skulle handa. Planerna blev snart att jag skulle flytta till Osterrike, start over and see what happens. Men, nagot sa mig att jag inte var klar med New York, sa i sista stund beslutade jag mig for att aka tillbaka hit och plotsligt hade jag bade papper och flygbiljett klart. Allt gick valdigt fort, men jag angrar mig inte for en sekund.

Today it’s three years since I woke up in New York after a summer on Swedish ground. I came to NY on December 28, 2010 and was planning to stay for 6 months. I stood on Swedish ground July 6 and didn’t know what would happen. New plans was soon that I would move to Austria, start over and see what happens. But, something told me that I was not done with New York, so in the last minute I decided to go back here and suddenly I had both papers and a ticket ready. Everything went so fast, but I don’t regret it for a second.

Vilken bra dag jag hade igar. Gjorde nagra arenden (blev tyvarr inga shorts eller skor dock), at lunch pa nya matdelen i Brookfield Place, tittade lite pa fotboll och sag filmen “The Hunter”.

Nagot annat vi gjorde igar var att vi satt uppe pa var rooftop och solade en stund. Det ar sa underbart att bara kunna ga upp dit och va ifran alla andra och lasa en bok utan att man blir stord av att nagon kommer och pratar med dig (for det hander ofta har).
I den har staden kan man fa allt, ja verkligen allt. Vill man prata med folk, sa kan man, alltid. Men man ar ocksa valdigt sallan ensam har. Att ha en rooftop, en bakgard eller kanske en balkong att spendera tid utomhus pa ar faktiskt inte helt fel for den som vill bo i en stor stad men aven vill njuta av en lugn stund (for man lar sig snabbt att uppskatta de ensamma stunderna har). Finns manga stallen i speciellt Brooklyn och Queens som har just en bakgard. Vill man ha familj men anda bo i den har staden kanske det ar ett bra alternativ att flytta ut dit. Manga koper hus i New Jersey eller upstate och pendlar in till city, men det kanns sa ovart att lagga sa mycket tid pa att aka fram och tillbaka, eller vad tycker ni?
Vi som inte planerar att ha familj har klarar oss bra pa Manhattan. Dessutom ar Battery Park som en bubbla med mindre trafik, fagelkvitter och grona omraden. Inte undra pa att de familjer som faktiskt vill bo pa Manhattan bor har nere.

What a great day I had yesterday. Some errands (got no new shorts or shoes though), ate lunch at the new food-part in Brookfield Place, watched a little soccer and saw the movie “The Hunter”.
Something else we did yesterday was that we sat up on the rooftop to get a tan for a while. It is so wonderful to just be able to get up there and be away from all others and read a book without getting disturbed by that somebody comes and talks to you (cause it happens often here).
In this city you can get everything, yes indeed, everything. If you want to talk to people, you can, always. But you are also very rarely alone here. Having a rooftop, backyard or perhaps a balcony to spend time outdoors at is actually not a bad idea for anyone wanting to stay in a big city but also wants to enjoy a quiet moment (cause you quickly learn to appreciate the moments you’re alone here). There are many places especially in Brooklyn and Queens that has a backyard. If you want a family but still wants to live in the city, perhaps it’s a good option to move out there. Many buys a house in New Jersey or upstate and commute into the city, but it feels so not worth it to put so much time to travel back and forth, or what do you think?
We, who do not plan to have a family here is doing well on Manhattan. Additionally, Battery Park is like a bubble with less traffic, singing birds and green spaces. No wonder that the families who actually want to live on Manhattan lives down here.
