ngt så enkelt

Är helt frälst av Linus på linjen! Det kan man kalla barndomsminnen med klass ;)

Intressant att något så enkelt som en linje kan uppfattas som så roligt. Kanske är ett levande bevis för att vi egentligen inte behöver alla komplicerade saker vi tror oss behöva? :D

Started with an early morning. Then spent the day in the land of nowhere. Place where cellphones do not even work. Loads of mosquitoes. Roads where two cars barely can meet. Green trees. Blue sky. White fluffy clouds. Grey calm clouds. Black thunderous clouds. Loads of wild flowers. Picnic. Scent of forest. Scent of freshness.

Now some tea.

Nice. Happy.

30 April, again

Yet another "sista april", yet another year, yet another fire, yet another thing. Blue sky, +10°, thin clouds. Not that bad for an April day.

Cold beer, a fire and who knows what's up.

"Gyllene år gå snabbt förbi,
unga, ljusa gyllene år."

glimpse of the past

"Ik ben zo high als een papegaai...ik zie allemaal roze olifantjes..."

Reminds me of back when I was just a youngster, late one night a friend of mine (don't remember what he was on) claimed to see red smurfs. As we all know, they are blue.

dutch word of the day

Bara för att det kan vara lite roligt - länk till Dutch word of the day!

Häromdagen var "flapdrol" dagens ord, idag är det "storing" - med följande exempel "Wereldwijde storing treft Gmail." Haha! Klockrent? Kanske.

Så många ord, så mycket att lära... ;)

Trenter: Dvärgarna

Actually my sisters book, bought at a bookshop focused on old (and sometimes rare) books, soon on its way to Germany.

A pretty typical Trenter though; Harry Friberg, Vesper Johnson, Stockholm back in the early 60's and so on.

Vikingtoys anyone?

I somehow feel a bit "playful" (whatever that means) at the moment.

Sky appears grey, heavy clouds outside of the house. Rain falling down. Red roses as a contrast towards the green grass. Neighbours preparing a barbecue in the rain. Dogs running around. Cup of tea on the table, brown bird sitting next to it just before taking off.

lalala-la-la shadowman

Crazy as we are, we saw some old episodes of Twilight Zone last night - I hadn't seen these specific episodes in ages! Gosh, things related to how tv shows and similar are being produced have changed quite a lot the past couple of decades! Quality, methods yadayada!
Anyway, the episodes were quite entertaining even though they were not close to how they appeared the very first time I saw them!

*twilight zone tune in background* ;)

"I am the Shadowman, and I will never harm the person under whose bed I live."

So, do you have a shadowman living underneath your bed?

evenings getting dark, again :(

Can't really believe it but the evenings start to be dark again. Just noticed that it's before midnight and slightly dark + that they have turned on the streetlamps again!!! Come on - it's July, not September!!! What happened with our lovely summer nights?

"summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh those summer nights"

(by Warren Casey & Jim Jacobs,
single released in 1978)

Långviken from its good side

Looks relaxing, doesn't it? Calm in some way.
Space to think, space to do almost whatever you want without having other people running around your feet. Swedish nature from its good side, almost makes me forget about the dreadful (?) winter.

I feel like going back for a swim, or just to relax some more. Or just to "be". Who knows?

tea at IKEA

So I dropped by IKEA and the shopping area around it with some friends. What a hysterical place...

Haven't been there for ages and ages and since last visit they had managed to put up some new buildings, opened loads of new shops and rearranged the old ones. One thing remains though - the caravans that come during the summer!

<= This is what I had, some black tea.

This is what the others had,

things with animals on... =>

{ tusen bitar }

Heard approximately half of this song today, on the radio while we were driving back home...brought back some good/bad memories.

Tusen bitar - Björn Afzelius

Det sägs att ovan molnen är himlen alltid blå,
men det kan va svårt att tro när man inte ser den.
Och det sägs att efter regnet kommer solen fram igen,
men det hjälper sällan dom som har blitt våta.

För när vännerna försvinner, eller kärleken tar slut,
ser man allt med lite andra ögon.
Man övar sig, och långsamt blir man bättre på att se
skillnad mellan sanningar och lögner.

Allting kan gå itu, men ett hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.
Allting kan gå itu, men ett hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.

Det sägs att det finns alltid nånting bra i det som sker,
och tron är ofta den som ger oss styrka.
Ja, man säger mycket, men man vet så lite om sig själv
när ångesten och ensamheten kommer.

För när vännerna försvinner, eller kärleken tar slut,
ser man allt med lite andra ögon.
Så man övar sig, och långsamt blir man bättre på att se
skillnad mellan sanningar och lögner.

Allting kan gå itu, men mitt hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.

La - la - la - la - aaa.

Allting kan gå itu, men mitt hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.

La - la - la - la - aaa.

Oh allting kan gå itu, men mitt hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du säkert det.

Would you care for a cup of tea?

It is green. It is simple. It is old. It is one of my favourites. I almost use it on a daily manner :)

"runaway train never going back..."

"Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughin' at the rain

Little out of touch, little insane

Just easier than dealing with the pain"

This is what I did, maybe it was not that wise after all now when some time has passed and the effects are making themselves visible. However, done is done and nothing can reverse it.

förlåt --- ringer ikväll.

Ok?

little friend -> cluttered mind

Can you believe what a year it's been? 

Are you still the same? 

Has your opinion changed?

My humble set of replies: 

yes

no

 yes 

Unexpectedly got a link to the song Little Friend from a really old friend of mine some hour ago by email. We haven't really had any close contact the past 7 years or so and while I was checking this song out again (haven't heard it in years and years) and reading the couple of lines of text in that email I came to think about how much the past two-three years have changed me, the way I think and the way I handle different stuff.

I am not really happy with all of these changes so I decided to do what I have been thinking about for a while -> change even more things in my life.

Time to cut off the things that doesn't make me happy anymore.

stones & memories

Climbing walls, cleaning closets. 

That is what I have been up to for the past days. Today did just vanish, wonder what tomorrow will be like?

Stones = my current desktop picture. 

Can't help it but I love stones and springs - maybe I should have done something else with my life???

Heard this song today - almost scary how a song can bring up memories you thought were forgotten.
