Happy and Sad

Some great memories that still makes me cry... "some will win some will loose, some of us just sings the the blues... .... don't stop believin' hold on to the feelin'...."

Summer Time and the Living is Easy

8 pm and it is still light outside. Why am I inside?

Daylight Savings Time

In case you haven't noticed, you are one hour into the future this morning. I missed yoga due to this fact, this was not mentioned as one of the downsides of DST on wikipedia, but I'm considering adding this. Some research indicates that DTS can cause changed cardiac rhythm for up to a month. Don't really know it it is something to get that upset with considering what will happen when you fly to a timezone that is several hours off.

So why are we DTSing? To encourage people to stay out longer in the evenings (visit restaurants and shops), and not having to get up while it is dark in the morning, are a few of the popular side effects.

Saturday with boys

Cats and their Milk

Just for the record, before anyone gets all upset, they usually drink water. Milk is just an extra treat to get good photos, and due to leftover milk since the pancakes last weekend.

Softness

The Other Day

Everyone Must Dance to His Own Tune!

What's your pick?

Toddy Spex

Fun show, and nice intermission food.

Wednesday Quiz at Kulturen

We were on fire this evening. 13 points! .

And then later at Ariman.

Baby Sister is getting married

The prettiest invitation ever!

Snow Men

Can-Can

Chat Noir

Cheating

Actually looked at a photo for this on. But, if it is like they say, practice makes purrfect, then no harm done I guess.

Aron on my mind

And on a piece of paper too.

Easter Monday

"What is happening over there?"

Someone is boiling some tea water.

"Hey, I'm not playing with the flowers!"

"It was hanging a bit of centre, all right? I was just trying to fix it, you see."

Snow stars are difficult to catch.

Photoshopped Ice Flower

Morning Meat

Easter Sunday

Cold but sunny today. Went for a long walk, for over an hour. Brought the camera but did not find that much interesting to photograph. However, at home on the balcony, while Aron is chewing away on the plants I played with Sara's macro lens. It is so much easier to get focus in the shots when it is daylight and sunshine, than indoors.

Anna said that she suspected that my cats were watching top model, since they seem to know all tricks there are about how to strike a pose. Don't think they do, they have a natural grace and a good photographer standing-by ;).

On the way home, I bought ingredients for the long since last made polenta pancakes with avocado filling. Aron is very helpful in the kitchen, sniffing, nibbling and cuddling most of the tools and ingredients.

Sneak Blogging

Couldn't stay away completely, could I? Have done lots of relaxation and thinking, and will do some more. Will do a little intermission here, because Aron is just too cute for you to miss.



It is so cold outside, and he is shaking when he walks over the snow, but those straws of grass is just too tempting to resist. My little snow leopard.

Origami therapy

Good Friday Lunch

Hokusai the Second

An until recently unknown image in the "views of Fujisan" series. Now the 37th have been discovered, picturing a fighting cray fish at the foot of Mt. Fuji. (felt-tip on egg shell)

And if you got nothing better to do, please read up on Hokusai (北斎) a bit, lovely wood-prints.

Takinami prepares the egg

Pip pip!

Catching up with myself

I will take an Easter break from internet, blogging, watching m.a.s.h and other distractions, and spend some well deserved time with myself. In need of some thinking and catching up.

Only thing planned for the holidays is an Easter Lunch thing with the Takinamis, which I do look forward to.

Will be back on Tuesday, ready to take on the world again. Miss me millions, until then!

It Shrunk

Easter Jokers :) - There was a one kilo chocolate Easter bunny at stake. My lovely boys at the office had entered the competition over and over again. I also entered, but not with 50 contributions. Today someone called me, said they were from Ica Tuna and that I had won the competition and that I should go to Ica and pick it up. When I got there they boys were suspiciously curious, jumping around in the store. At the store they were confused, was I sure it wasn't from Malmborg's they had called me? It was so funny :) They told me that someone had cheated in the competition too, and could they see the phone number that had called me? I explained that I was pretty sure who had called me, and when I got out of the store I've got this little bunny from Lekman. Turns out that they had arranged to have a colleague of Peter's to call me, and written a manuscript for him and everything... :) However, they felt a little guilty when I told them that I had planned to give them the price.

I hope they all have very lovely Easter! See y'all on Tuesday.

Wintery Morning

Look how early I'm at the office!

Quiz at Kulturen

10 of us, 20 questions, 5,5 correctly answered. We ended up second to last. But next week "Nederlaget" will strike back. But it was a rather nice evening, all in all. Should have stayed away from that Royal Mojito at Grand Hotel and probably some other stuff as well...

Me trying out Sebastian's cap.

Yes, of course it must be "French Upper Volta"

Lekman's arms, Vicky, Olov, Peter, Ola and Ellen's hands.

Beers in Line; Damn, i'm going to get drunk...

Ola, Ellen and Eero

"AMPLIFIER!?!, why didn't he say that the answer should be the same word as Förstärkare but in English?" Arguments over the point that could have got us some dignity. Clutching for straws... indeed.

WTF?!?
