a little thursday

_MG_3265  _MG_3259_MG_3270_MG_3240

thursday a week ago i was still in sweden. and today i probably would have drifted away into space if there wasn’t any gravitation to keep me down. i can’t seem to focus on anything and i keep jumping between different thoughts and different actions, without ever finishing the one before. i am a little bit tired of my own company, someone would like to swap?

in between i read a little bit on this very inspiring blog in hope to find some zen somewhere.

little walk

_MG_3315   _MG_3302_MG_3318

these pictures where taken around 9.30 pm. the light is simply mesmerizing in sweden right now.

i love to walk on those vast, open fields. it is similar to being next to the ocean, makes me feel small in a very good way.

the wedding

bombastic! wouldn’t know how else to describe it. i felt a little bit like the little duckling next to all the swans, but even ducks know how to have a good time. especially when there is champagne and candy floss involved.

yesterday morning we woke up around 3.15 to watch the sun rise, my father and i. i haven’t experienced the swedish pre-midsummer nights in a long time. oh gorgeous!

i am amazed of how life is so very different and still the same all over the world. that is perhaps a contradiction, but a contradiction which is somewhat true.

grrrr

i can’t post pictures for some unknown, strange reason. it annoys me slightly.

love and thoughts.

yesterday i took my compost with me when i went to the bank and today i am traveling with my sourdough to sweden. nothing odd about that, right?

five

_MG_3025_MG_3015 _MG_3001_MG_3021 _MG_3029  _MG_3014_MG_3019    

i ate five scoops of ice cream today. coconut/almonds, figs/walnuts, caramel cookies, cheesecake and pistachio. (i convinced myself that a ridiculous amount of sugar will do good for my cold)

five! beat that if you can!

project apricot

_MG_2987_MG_2975_MG_2974 

it is getting hot here and the apricot season has started. i am making apricot jam tonight, baking a loaf of bread and fighting a flu while listening to this, this. and this.

and you guys?

a few more

_MG_2674 _MG_2827   _MG_2590_MG_2685

the baby above should be coming any day now. we are all so curious to see who is inside.

apropos this baby-boom which is ravaging, i keep getting cold feet *as you say in swedish, what’s the english expression?* just thinking about it, commitment phobic as i am…

you mothers are brave!

better out than in

i have puffy eyes, perhaps because i cry too much and sleep too little but it doesn’t really matter since so many of you made me happy today. i love you all so very much it seems my heart is bursting a little bit from all this love.

friskzoet en stevig

_MG_2529_MG_2524 _MG_2534_MG_2512_MG_2504   

furry friends are on the top of my list of favorite things. bones has been such a good mate this past few days. waiting patiently in the studio while i was rehearsing. cuddling and playing on free hours. but most of the time he is sleeping and looking at his twitching movements, it seems he is dreaming just as intensively as i do.

wish you a happy june. frisk sweet and firm. (like they write on the dutch apples)
