This week's Friday theme is close to heart or "closest to heart" if you translate the Swedish "närmast hjärtat". I could write about Peter and my family but the person most on my mind at the moment is a close friend, one of my three best, best friends, who's ill at the moment. It is not life-threatening (as far as we know) but she's been very ill for six or seven weeks now and the doctors don't know what it is. They think it is a very, very mean virus, but in the worst-case scenario it could be a chronic disease that will come and go all her life. Luckily the bad stuff has been ruled out, such as cancer. She remains in good spirits but it's of course tough not knowing what it is, being in pain all the time and not being able to work or do stuff.
She's probably not reading this but I just wanted to say anyway that she's in my thoughts and prayers. I don't really care about Valentine's Day but I did send her a card this year. She needs all the encouragement and getting well-wishes she can get.

Show & Tell: Heart-Shaped Things
Today's theme for the Friday regular Show & Tell is heart-shaped things. I don't have very many heart-shaped things to photograph or write about so I should I'd borrow an idea from Dagens nyheter yesterday and google "heart-shaped things".
Did you know that there is a heart-shaped lake in Taipei which has a heart-shaped island in the middle?
There are also others who have a Show & Tell thing going on and they had a "heart-shaped things" theme already in April last year. That woman makes up for my lack of hearts in this post.
Greetings on Happy eat heart-shaped things day, accompanied by a recipe!
A song about heart-shaped things!
If you're looking for heart-shaped clipart, look no further.
A bit of a Valentine's theme since it was that very day yesterday (also the reason for today's Show & Tell of course); the top six presents on Alla hjärtans dag (All Hearts' Day) as it's called in Sweden:

A bit of a Valentine's theme since it was that very day yesterday (also the reason for today's Show & Tell of course); the top six presents on Alla hjärtans dag (All Hearts' Day) as it's called in Sweden:
- Underwear
- Jewelery (includes cufflinks, etc. for men)
- Gift card
- "Love technology". No, it's not something kinky but a web camera "so that I can look at you all day", or a mobile phone "so that I can talk to you all day".
- Perfume
- Flowers - the classic
