Village

isn't it funny, just when the clouds get as black as they can, suddenly someone does something nice.. they say you need a village to raise a child and i think this could be true but here in the west, i think for a lot of us that doesn't exist - for different reasons. mostly we all rush around doing things and dont notice maybe someone needs us.

Going underground

Every year, the caves underneath the cobbled streets of Arras in France are transformed into a living garden.
This year, from 15 March to 22 June, the theme is music.

Chocolate strawberry

First time taking my things to a wedding fair. Dresses and jewellery there were beautiful and a chocolate fountain very close to me :) - there is a place on Hastings pier in the summer that makes lovely chocolate strawberrys

Happy

Strolling round Ikea, checking out all the lights, storage and small things, meatballs with lingonberry sauce, daim cake. Like a theme park for homesick Swedes - the odd elk crossing the route from time to time, would be fun :O)

Compassionate communication

Sometimes find communication tough either because you cant find words or what comes out of your mouth isn't what you mean. Talking is easy but maybe not communicating .. someone told me about a book written about this and found this website

Under milkwood

Something about the nearly spring evening ..

"To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea. The houses are blind as moles (though moles see fine tonight in the snouting, velvet dingles)..."

Small furry creature

..or maybe discovered a design flaw in nissan cars.. turned on the engine and closed the car door, to keep the car warm while scraping frost off the windscreen and got locked out.. with my house keys, bag and phone in the car. Didn't think this was possible. Several hours later and slightly blue from frostbite, a man from nissan turned up with a skeleton key. Seems ice can get down into the lock and somehow short circuit the system and lock the car. Have a more interesting theory.. little green men with remote controls.

Hero dog

The sun is back and i was sort of happy walking outside until came across a badger by the side of the road.. but guess someone had very carefully lifted him there.

Hyviä unia, oman kullan kuvia

Last night an almost full moon turned the fields and hedges around to silver while large clouds billowed across the sky - seems incredible that across an ocean it's still afternoon and across another ocean it's already tomorrow, but we all look at the same moon.

The butterfly effect ...

Stress down on 6th February

Underneath the Downs here in Sussex, hoping for more snow but seems rain after all. If you are in work on Friday... its 'Stress down Friday', wear your slippers and take it easy.

The washing machine that ate my Sari

Swimming outside this morning - running to the pool was almost brave (the water was heated) and now a small snow storm, maybe more tomorrow :)
