Last Saturday

Ebba’s birthday + her moving away gathering. She’s spreading her wings and heads in the direction of the north to study. May the White Walkers forever stay away from you. It was one of those nights with old friends and new friends. ….with discussions on heavier topics – feminism, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression. …. withContinue reading “Last Saturday”

10K 49.50min

The day before yesterday I went to the forest-trails to run 10K. I had no expectations what so ever, considering the fact that I have spent the past two years doing intervals and in the gym without even getting close to running longer distances. With Zara Larsson’s Sommarprat (which was great btw, articulate, clever andContinue reading “10K 49.50min”

High in spirit

Back in my room, staring at the rain pouring rigorously, landing softly onto the newly sprung apples.  What a change of environment and surroundings can do to one’s soul. With high spirits, tanned skin and sun in our eyes we landed here in Sweden. With us brought we the tingling knowledge of that 4 hours fromContinue reading “High in spirit”

Mallorca Madness Delirium

2.45 Monday morning I got up. 2h before that I went to sleep… The flight to Mallorca was spent sleepless and therefore I spent the whole of Monday in a sleepy-haze. It was totally worth it though, considering the reason for my late bed-time was a 3h walk through the Park with Sonji. We couldn’tContinue reading “Mallorca Madness Delirium”

22 hours and strange manboys

If sleep was unnecessary the days would be very, very, long. I woke up at 7 yesterday and fell asleep 5.30 the next morning. Bought a normal zoom lens EF 24-105mm after work and played around with my camera. I am beyond ecstatic. I mean the quality of the films and photos leaves me withContinue reading “22 hours and strange manboys”

Salty Licorice Raspberry Chocolate Pod

53 years alive and 30 years of marriage

Gold – azurblue – sun&run

I dive into the water, everything quiet, tiny innocent jellyfishes stroking my body. I pick one up, look at it’s strange lump of a body and sends it back into the wild ocean. I run on the beach in my bikini, fall down into the stinking algae, scrape my knee, get back up and do cartwheels.Continue reading “Gold – azurblue – sun&run”

Romanticize the absent mind

Summer. Has. Arrived. IIIIIIIIIIIHHHH! That was my summer-scream. Began this day with a 45 minute walk with my dog. I stopped by a cliff and did some stretch/yoga-movements, stared out over the open water, sun touching my bed-swollen face, thinking: this day will be tremendous. For 45 minutes I was nowhere in my mind, IContinue reading “Romanticize the absent mind”

Love and war all at once

And as Obama legalized same-sex marriage in all states, 3 terrorattacks happened in different ends of the world. At the same time in Stockholm: Josie and her friend Elsa strolled around in Stockholm, touristing, smiling at each other, thinking this day is great, seemingly unbeknownst to what’s happening around the globe. I find it easy toContinue reading “Love and war all at once”
