Last day this year

No I'm not going to party and celebrate that another year has gone hmm..

I'm going to the sauna right now to lay in the warmth and contemplate looking at the patterns you can see in the wood on the walls and ceiling just letting your imagination make something out of it.

Art impression

The collection is vast from running on auctions and second hand stores for decades, bringing lots of find home to be standing in some closets.. Some paintings has actually made a place for them and I like to glance at them once in a while. Like this one that I found somewhere for maybe fifty kronor or something like that. It hangs in my bedroom and I look at it every day, haven't got wearied yet.

Perhaps "real" art connoisseurs would dismiss it just as flamboyant and to much of everything. But I like it as it is and use to let the mind play with different ideas when looking at it, sometimes I can let the mind take me yo that shore and let me walk in there feeling the breeze, warmth and smell from the sea. I can wonder what year it is, believe something like 1800 and then what clothes people would bear, believe they where uncomfortable.. especially for women if it was warm. Things where not always better before.. Wonder what language you would have to master for communicate with the people over there and what food you could find, definitely fish but what sort and do they use to make it over open fire or boil it, have they discovered potato yet or..

Sometimes I only take in the light and colour, it makes me cosy only to have them in the eye for a while, think it's definitely a warm painting.

Happy Christmas!

Had a long sleep this morning since the ham I cooked on the wooden stove wasn't ready until 01 this morning. It tasted really good..

The snow is falling light and makes the nature look like a Christmas card. Now it's time to relax and let the clock tick slowly waiting for santa..

Christmas coming close

Got to admit I get more and more of this cosy feeling. There is no rush for anything now. The Christmas tree is already inside and you can use the evenings to read and listening to these classic X-mas songs like this one.

Wednesdayevening tea

Having spent the evening out in the unheated garage a warm cup or two warms you up.

This thing of doing work in the garage has a lot of strange psychology in it. Alone with your thoughts that can circulate freely on anything you also have this goal of having the job done. When you get into problems, as you always do, the thing is to take it easy and just let the time work for you. You against this new challenge.

Tonight I listened to some modern Christmas tunes and it was quite cosy.. Often, especially with old cars you have to invent methods for solving the case and afterwards when the job is done you feel quite happy and appreciate this warm cup of tea and some chocolate..

Morning light

It's almost nine in the morning until the light starts to glow, sun is somewhere behind those trees. Lucky I don't live in Kiruna where they now have no lights at all until the end of January. But a lot of people live there and they like it. They get their sun time back in summer when It's not going down for a couple of months. Humans are so versatile!

Second Advent

Rather suitable with a blue star to a blue day.

Saturday and fish for supper

I really like fish, grow up with it as the basic food. Nowadays it's more of a luxury since it's not cheap if you have to buy. Today it'll be Alaska Pollok pre cooked and then in the oven (those frozen square ones) and together with some shrimps. Also a broccoli gratin and a cheese sauce, all together with rice. Glad that the kids also likes fish.

And now for something completely different

Come to think about this song and this very special performance today. Hmm.. see some resemblance..

Remember that film he made "True stories" Really liked the slow pace and Texas weirdness in it. Think it was only me and the film critic from the local newspaper who sat in the cinema that evening.

Nude

Since it is advent today I post a picture from a warm day last summer. The blogger himself without any clothes on...
Guess this makes the blog to be x-rated now..

Casual Friday

Today at work it was just as crazy as any other day but today it was also Friday..

At Sunday it would be the first Advent so it was time to do the annual Christmas decorating, at least in our vast office room. The women with the beautiful eyes started searching for the candlesticks to have in the windows but they seemed to have disappeared in the big move we have done recently. She was shouting "where are my (candle)sticks" I need some (candle)sticks now" (more funny in Swedish although..) "and some (Christmas)balls, for the windows, those smooth red ones"
"then you don't want these hairy ones" I replied. "no but a big pot for the porridge.." we laughed so the tears where falling.. There is always this crazy humour at work.

She did find some candlesticks to place in the windows and we decided that it would be nice to have this cosy Friday afternoon with some wax candles and Glögg (Glühwein) from the liquor store. At three a clock we called it a day, closed down the phones, the door and warmed up some Glögg.

Tuesday evening

The sky is covered so there is no stars in the sky, about 20cm of snow, -7 (centigrade). Just feeling blue..

Sundaymorning walk

I really like to walk in the woods. Makes me kinda glad in a special way when you feel you're a part of nature. And the mind starts rolling on what you see.



Trails of a Fox wonder if it got any haunting luck. Do wild animals have anything they call home?



Hahaha! Male vs Female..

The Birch is definitely female, grace, curvature and trying to get attention. The male Pine is just standing rock solid and doesn't take any notice.. or.. pretend to.

Todays dinner

Was cooked on the wooden stove, and tasted just just as if it was cooked on wood.. also got the temperature in the kitchen to rise some from that +15 it was in the morning.. the house is built 1882 and really floor-cold..

Snow is falling this evening

Looks like a typical stay-inside, listen to music, read books and don't do anything stupid Friday.. hmm..

I prefer it live

Always thought that live music is in another dimension. Next best to actually been there and listening is some real live recording.. I think this is from a program produced in UK know as The Tube. They just let the bands play straight up live, without any remix. Jools Holland was the sharp host and I used to glance.. some years ago..

These guys come in rather dusty but they sure was sharp as..

Environmental friendly

So after the morning shower and you can't find any clean socks, what to do?

Recycle the ones you had yesterday :-)

Cold butt

A bit dark this evening, like women.. not in flashlight..

Don't know the English word for it a Muff? Made of sheep skin and what you have on the bicycle saddle in winter times. It's probably not something you use in Australia.. Anyway I forgot to bring this one today and at lunchtime did a spin with the bicycle I use to borrow to go for my usual Pizza-hunt where I was the only customer this time.. really like this place and to be alone..

But.. the saddle was of that type who absorb water and being around 0 degrees this day made my butt both wet and cold. In lack of having some female to rub it warm with massage.. we do have this Sauna at the job that I put on light.. It's electric.. then I could go there and it was really the right level to burn my ass through the Jeans and warm up my cold butt.

Chainsaw feelings

A Sunday with rain and nothing better to do, oh there is a lot that I seem to forget.. I used some time on Youtube looking at Chainsaw movies. Yeah this is only for us males who start drooling and got so much emotions on the subject. Many of the films have 40-50 comments with so much feelings inside mostly on the different brands and I must confess, I am also that fan who says; Husky rulez.. Would have been awkward to be caught holding some other in my hands..

Look at this man who got his kid filming and the pride he has in owing this Husky professional chainsaw. This things about chainsaws really make men show their feelings..

Opposites attracts

Thought of it today, perhaps there is something with that monster and beauty tale. Girl from the street meets boy from library or clever girl meets garage guy.

If the both where copies they hadn't got anything interesting to talk about. Just sitting and nodding "I agree" at the first whisper from the other. Hahaha!

Fire

One advantage living out in the woods, you could always make a fire and get rid of a lot of stuff. Like advertising, bills, pizzaboxes, milklids and other things that will burn.

I like to look at fire, it's consuming all it can manage and gives heat, also gives a lot of imagination into your mind..

A walk on memory lane

Last weekend I did a trip back to the town I moved from some years ago. This is a special town with a very special feeling, not so easy to describe like a blues that's so present you can almost touch it.

Walking on the same path that I use to do so many times before in this suburb. Looking at the old house that still looks the same today, so much memories I have with that house.

And the sea, this is real sea and not some inshore lake, the same water that you could sail all around the world. And I moved to the inland..

If you look closely there is a couple standing to the left holding hands, admiring the view, like I did a hundred years ago..

I really miss all this.

Soon to be Halloween

Daughters have struggled to do some ordinary and slightly less ordinary Halloween pumpkins this evening. The small ones tend to overheat so they was more comfortable with a raised cap.

Burda Blogger

Mess goes into fashionblogging

I'm not the guy who use to spend some time over what clothes I should wear. It's usually jeans and a shirt. But I do notice what women use to wear and often I start drooling on them just because of their outfit.

This autumn I notice that there are a lot of women wearing these black leggings and a mini skirt. I really like to look at these sexy legs. It must be a gem since there are so many around who let my heart pump the blood in such an eager.

Searched on the internet for some appropriate picture but there where only this fashion-pics, women with pencil stick legs and they are so cold for me. I want these naturally legs with lots of curves to caress with my eyes, knowing exactly how it would feel to do it also with my hands..

For some reason

I got this in my head today. Done some dancing to that. It still makes me move my hips..

Appletreethinking once again

Have you ever thought of what gender there is in an appletree?

It must be female.

Look at at all that curvy shapes.. the fruit that taste so good.. it use to blossom in beautiful colours.. and it's sturdy and stubborn.. the last tree to leave the leafs in autumn..

Boring blog

I've had some time to surf around in the bloggosphere today, life was cool at the job.. Thought that there are these brilliant ones with lots of humour and people who has having so fun lives. And there are those who puzzles your mind with their thoughtful writing and makes you think a lot..

There are also a lot of boring ones, a lot.. like all these fashion-blogs.. And all those plenty.. church-loving ones that all comes from US.

My own blog looks a bit yellow :) A middle age man who sort of walk and walk but never reach the door.. no fun at all.. needs some brightness and sparkling.

Think I make an ad and search for the sparkling..

Full Moon

Bright light with long shadows this evening.

Could it be that the moon reflect us all since I have had so much eyes from women today.. or perhaps they just caught my eyes..



Wouldn't have mind getting close to her..

Yellow Sunday

I like yellow, it's my favourite colour. It was really warm in the sun today, got some ideas of having fun with a nice women, outside in October.. another thing to have on the list..

Saturday morning

I've had this tune in my head a couple of mornings. As always I can't explain where it all comes from, the weather is rather cloudy today..



Plans for today is to go down to our little village and visit the library, search for some interesting books and drool over these sexy females you always find at the library..

Then I buy myself some beer and lit up the sauna, have this cosy time when you pour in the woods while the temperature is rising. Before I had these sort of strict sauna-morale that you are only allowed to go into the sauna at evenings, today I've lost that too..

Last glimps of sun today

I did walk up the hill and thought who else has been standing here and thought.. what a lovely scenery..

Wednesdayevening 9 PM

Got these surrealistic emotion this morning when there was this thick fog down at the train station so you really couldn't see your own hands.

When the train arrived so gentle and quiet it was only visible as these three lights that sort of whispering come closer. I felt that this must be that "Silver-Express" the ghost-train who only take aboard people but no one ever gets out since inside the time has stopped.. And I was not surprised that nobody stepped off..

Inside I picked up yesterdays newspaper, I use to read it on the morning train..

There was this very interesting review from a book by Vigdils Hjort "Hjulskifte" really got me interested, must go and find it at the library.

The train was evidently not the "Silver-Express" since we all got out at the last stop, but had these announcement of next stops with a strong English accent, the driver today was a Brit who settled down in our soil.

Tonight there is these clear skyes that probable make the temperature sink below zero later at night.. Bright stars this evening and a half-moon who lit up and sent out some long shadows.

Wednesdaymorning 5 AM

It's -3 outside, feels that spring is far, far away.

It was not a full-moon

this evening.. miss.. that moon, we use to exhange thoughts..

Stormy weather

It's windy outside, one of theses autumn-storms that tries to rip of the remaining leaves from the trees. Making a lot of shivering sounds when it burst around the house.

It's rather cosy, a perfect stay-inside day. Laying on a sofa with a blanket on and reading.. an open fire.. some chocolate..

Life is a challange

You always find these moment in ordinary life when you have to be brave. Like this find from the deeper regions of the refrigerator.

Come on.. man or mice.. ;-)

Last day of work in this old house.

Next Monday we will start up at our new site.

The company has been in this same old premises for 138 years.. there must be so many people that has been here doing their everyday work, going into pension and fade away, now we are the last to remain.

Spent some time in the attic, thinking about this squirrel-wheel.

Motorcycle Woman

The tune and video got into my head this morning as I was closing my eyes on the train, The Finnish hard-rock band from Kuovola "Peer Günt"



Really love this video..

Yellow mellow

I like yellow think it's a warm and nice colour.

Now September is closing and you dream of having this cosy relation with lots of love in the autumn. Go together and holding hands with scarf around your necks and big warm eyes to look into each others.. Yeah.. I have done that sometime in the past.. but wouldn't mind doing it once more..

Digging a hole

"Take a shovel and dig yourself a hole so I don't have to see you" more funny in Swedish although. I have some problem with the water into the house. Have to find a conjunction between the the two houses. I actually called him the man who dug with excavator when the "new" waterpipes where lay down. He was very helpful although he couldn't remember exactly where it should be since it was 1964 he did the job.

Sun was quite warm and my body isn't used to do much work nowadays, found a cap from a bottle in the ground and took a break, wondered that it probably had been sugar-lemonade and perhaps someone else had been just as hot as I that day in 1964. The cap was marked GB and it must be Grängesbergs Bryggeriet an old ancient brewery that still exist but have changed name to Spendrups nowadays after the owners name. That cap has been laying in the dark for so many years and now I took it up into the sunlight, it must be very happy now.

Morning mist

Quiet and peaceful. I actually like the autumn when you let go of the anxiety that the summer's almost gone.. Just relax and get this cosy feeling that the nature is going to sleep and you have surplus of time..

Nice to do a morning walk in the fog, listen at quietness and smell the autumn. And then get inside to fetch a cup of tee, got one with Persian Earl Grey.

Sun eclipse

Pure art in nature.

Folding the box

One of Wrights best, really like the different parts in it.



I was very surprised and happy when they did that gig together 2005, waited and waited with all these uninterested(!) musicians all evening until, at last, they entered the scene together for the first time since 1981..

A stroll in the woods

The plan was to search for some mushrooms to do some stew.

Of course I had to climbed up to to the top of a hill instead and found this.



They where built in the 1940's and where mannered mostly by women. So many hours they must have spent there searching the sky for unwanted planes. But.. The war never come to Sweden.

Decided to not climb up today..

Wondering of some of their thoughts are still left in the cabin, did they find a good man..



View from below was not so bad.

Bike for sale

Summer is gone and i'm selling out. This is a 1979 years 850 in very good original shape. The model is rather funny because it was made to a request from the German distributor. He wanted a shaft driven bike that had at least 800cc (to challenge BMW). Suzuki replied with this and you should know that the largest motorcycles that are allowed in native Japan is 750. Another wish was to also have a kick-start just in case... it's on the other side.

Anyway I haven't got any special connection with this one and the only female that has ridden on the backseat is my daughter..

Best offer will get it.

You don't have to be perfect

She must have thought about her teeth a lot. Alone in the bathroom looking at the mirror.

I don't like mirrors, they show an old guy that I don't know. Anyway that's how it is and you live your life from the inside not from what you see in the mirror.

Todays theme

For some reason this got into my head this afternoon. The video isn't so sharp.. you can always see it as something surrealistic..

The music is definitely sharp!!

Second thought

Tomorrow must be Friday..

Morning

For some reason today is Thursday.. why not Tuesday.. then Monday would be far away..

I have to look at tv this evening

I usually never look at tv, last time must have been sometime in May when I did watch some news. Hahaha no I have no interest in sports either..

But tonight I`ll make an exception and look at a program at 08:00 pm.

Don't know really why I got interested in this band and their original members, probably because they where kind of weird. like I always have been..

In prehistoric times, when I was young.. I use to bring home girls and let them listen to music like this and they suddenly got very busy and have to run away.. leaving a cap..

More from the coffe table

Seems that all my blogging comes from the coffee breaks.. hmm..

At the morning coffee we heard that a division in the company that works in Stockholm was to have a cake this day because they had such low absence for not being ill. We five at the coffeetable came to the conclusion that nowbody here never use to be ill and we phoned a boss and expressed the case, you never see any bosses here (and that's the best with this job) her reply was:

Buy yourself a cake.

At the afternoon coffee with a cake we somehow got into this thing about having sex..

One man said that it was fun many years ago but now he would rather prefer a cup of coffee instead. Anyway he had to stand on his hands to get some reaction..

A women replied that they newer do it nowadays, he only use to do some massage on her neck and they both think that is all they needed nowadays.

A third man said that he use to upset his wife, and that was evidently very easy... Then she would turn her back towards him in the bed and he could get to sleep without having to do some unwanted exercise..

The fourth guy did a diplomatic reply and said that the matter is a little bit tricky.

I only laugh...

Cofferoom talk

At work we often have so much fun at the coffebreak that I laugh so the tears are rolling. Today there where some talk about things someone had done in 1976 and a women replied that she was one years old that same year. Then there was this serious conclusion from one thinker:

We have all been one years old sometime and now we sit together at this moment, what has led us here... and what went wrong? hahaha!

Yes, why did we all sat in that room today?

Art

Went to an auction in a nearby village today, newer know what you find.. There was a lot of summer-people in the crowd so the prices went to high for the things that where really interesting. Rather funny to hear Germans bidding in bad Swedish..

Did bought this original painting with this navy motives that I'm so fond of, actually I like it more and more, now I can sit and dream in front of this painting instead of the internet hahaha!.
One small problem is to find some unoccupied wall that is big enough for it..

The price was quite reasonable 20kr 'cause no other gave a bid, perhaps it was too large for their summer cottages.

Cold shower

Didn't bother to put on the furnace for some hot water this morning..

At least you don't spend so much time in the shower hahaha!

Still on fire..

I have all records and also the one with only his poems, on LP of course.. hahaha! These records has really been played a lot a thousand years ago when I lived alone without kids and and all that..

Used to spend evenings listening to music without any lights on in the whole house, just listening..

Sundayrain and thoughts of Canada

Got an offer around -86 to work one year in Canada, in British-Columbia. The job was to operate a forestmachine, a Kockum that was on a sort of tour to make Canadians interested in the short timber harvesting. The name Kockum comes from Malmoe but the machines where built in Stensele.. Very tricky to tell the whole story..

It would have been nice to work in that Canadian forest but I turn the offer down.. perhaps it was some girl or what..

In my recent job I had to deal a lot with some guys from Canada and there was an offer to go and visit them in Montreal but it newer suited.. A funny thing was that we where just as bad talking English to each others because they always spoke French in Montreal..

Look at this Canadian.. who has doing so many love songs.. and here he is with his wife on the scene.. glad to see that she was not a bimbo..

Saturday supper

I consider cooking as an art. Well cooking spaghetti can anyone but the minced meat is special. and I always invent so that it will newer be the same recepie and taste.

Started with onions, a lot of them that I cut into pieces and also got a lot of tears in my eyes while doing it.. Then I pressed a whole garlic, chopped a paprika and after it had got the right coulor in the pot, put a kilo of minced meat in. I also empty tree cans of tomatostew into and some salt and whitepepper and some dry herbs, salvia, basilika and oregano. And a big spoon with honey..

When I served it to the two kids that where left.. one didn't want any of the meat, the other tasted a bit but said he wasn't hungry..

Anyone who wants to come and eat with me? I can always warm it up in the micro..

Happy Saturday

Yes I feel sort of happy today. The plan for today is to do nothing.. Perhaps read some books or search in some old magazines. I will not watch sports on tv hahaha! have no interest in sports.. I will not do any cleaning or fixing that really should have been done ages ago.. And the chances are not high that I would fix that car who desperately needs some mending.. Yes now I know what I definitely will be doing.. spend a lot of time on the internet hahaha! And I must make some special dinner hmm.. spaghetti and minced meat sauce.. not so ingenious but the kids will love it.

Got this on my lips when I woke up. I almost always have a tune in my head, the selection seems to be random..

Just some thoughts from today

Conversation on the phone with a female college who has this wonderful hoarse voice that is so..

She: Can I use your XX (my employee) to work for me, Is it possible to negotiate with him?

Me: No problem he is always willing..

She: So if I go and meet him and lift the skirt then he'll do anything for me?

Me: Yeah.. after that I think he'll do what ever you want..

She: Thanks for the tip and I wish you a nice weekend..

We sure have a lot of laughs everyday at work..

Thursdaymorning

Todays big thought is that some questions will newer be answered.

How does it feel to wear pantyhoses?

Sunday afternoon

There was this soft rain all the day and I've made some fire in the sauna and will be going to spend a long time in the heat this evening.. come to think about playing an instrument in the sauna.. I have newer experienced that.. it would have been nice to play with a saxophone when laying in the mist.. Does the instrument handle the humidity, has enybody tried?

Don't know why I have had this in my ears today..



Where did they find the snow?

Tuesday

I got to work earley and all the critical problems that came from yesterdays mishap where solved quite easy. And at coffebreak I had to laugh so the tears where rolling.. really a fun place to work at...

Also spent most of the day thinking of how nice it is for us males with all this females that are so light dressed in the warm weather. Yes I do have a window in the office..

Dreamed on the train home of women and the touch of their skin, gently with your hand.. Woke up and we where standing still with some signalproblems...

This old tune has been in my head for a couple of weeks.. And still running..

Fun at work?

Yes it was just another boring day at the office but I had some quite goods laughs too, at paid time.. You could have many ideas of what kind of work that you would like to do and if it will be challenging your brain just enough and all that kind of thoghts.. I have a work where there is a lot of laughs everyday. We deal with people and people are often so funny to deal with if you just open them up a bit.. And our way of solving problems can sometimes be very unorthodox.. Hahaha!

I actually long for going to work tomorrow.. uhhmm.. perhaps there is some medicine?

Afterthoughts

Thought today about these girls that I didn't went into a deep relation with.. Like Erika that I met in a pub in Varkaus. The normal thing is always that the male takes contact and the females are just waiting and picks up what she think is the best... And somehow I managed to do that and we went home to the apartment she had together with some other girls that also was studying in Varkaus. I really liked her and thought what the heck I could move to Kuopio, the town she was from, and live with her for the rest of my life.. Hahaha! tuff decision when you are nineteen..

Anyhow It didn't work out that way and I didn't move to Finland, but I'm not an easy guy to live with.. so perhaps she was lucky..

Sundaymorning swim

You have to be early if you want to be alone, I haven't got any bathingtrousers in my chest of drawers.. no towel also just slip into the leather a bit damp.

Todays plan A is to take the train 10:03 and go to the office and put that letter on the mailbox that I forgot last Friday.. and plan B is to find a women that wants to have some serios sex...

Friday

Nice to get out early this summer morning. A cup of coffee in your hand, listening to birds and bumblebees that also has come awake.

Sun is alredy warm and the smell.. smells summer :-)

Thursday

Then yesterday must have been Wednesday and tomorrow will be Friday.. Ok I got it..

A gleam of sun

Today it was that day with sun and rain. But.. I got a moment in the sun looking at the clouds, always some resemblance in my mind..

Midsummer

Today it's the day for these heathen rites that makes so many children to be born in Mars..

But I'll go and put some fire in the sauna, sort of my Midsummer tradition.

Regular or Premium?

Remember when you choose between these at the petrol station? A hand operated wheel at the pump, and then you got the liquid you want. Regular was suitabale for en Opel. But a BMW always needed Premium...

Nowadays they all go on that same unleaded stuff and we don't have this segeration when standing at the pumps and looking down on that lowclass people who had regular in their lowclass cars.. Haha!

I'm sort of unleaded today, driving safe, and with no answers on my own questions. Hmm.. but I can always have a cup of tea..

Where is that wild guy who goes on Premium?

Summertime

Now that the schools out for summer I resemble that day we graduate from the elementary school. It was in that church in Haparanda. The choir sang this song and one of the girls in the choir was sort of extra special for me at that time. I sat and had a lot of feelings in my mind... But a translation today feels good...

Friday

The day people long for every week, and then they burn up a lot of money like I used to do, long time ago.. But friday is something special for many people.

This evening I have been study some old magazines, surfing on internet and would have liked to have a spin on one of the motorcycles but it's rainy outside and i'm not fond of driving in wet, yes lazy is the word..

But I have't looked on any TV, I really dislike TV and prefer to search for some old magazines like Bike from 1985, yeahh!

A picture from today

Sat at the cliffs and took a moment thinking about women..

Morning swim

You have to be early to be sure you are alone. The water was really warm and all this birdsongs, a nice start at the sunday.

Got it straight?

Life is like a road. For some people the main target is to reach the destination as fast as possible and in that case a motorway is ideal. But I prefer to have some fun on my way..


There is something wrong in the picture can you see it?

Two more wheels on the yard

Bought a new old bike today. No it's not a model that I have dreamed about for years, only a short unpremiditaded decision that I made today.

The most important thing was perhaps that the bike was thirty years old. Something to rely on. Like I can rely on girls that have come to age because they have been through heaven and hell, haha! like the ones that had to deal with me...

Anyhow my bikes will now be from -78, -79 and -81, hmm.. something's missing..

This motorcyclemodel is sort of made for touring to Venice and not claiming to be sporty. But I tested the limits today as you can see on the flowers, from a left turn..

It's a beautiful day

Really warm weather, lots of smell from all the flowers everywhere. Going out on this almost deserted road with curves like a female body that you gently caress..

No wind at all when I stop by the lake but lots of birdsong, perhaps I should undress and take a swim?

Morning picture

Woke up half past five this morning and I had Silja Europa outside the window. She was slowly going backwards into her mooring.

It was my first stay at this hotel and I actually got a room on the 13th floor.. Wasn't that floor in most cases jumped earlier and you only got 12 and 14 to choose in the elevator.. Perhaps nowadays people are not so superstitious.

Summer shower

It's a great feeling to have an afternoon shower under the Cherry tree. 50m of garden-hose that has been laying in the sun makes the temperature of the water very juicy...

And to sit afterwards on a bench and let the last glimps of sun dry your body isn't bad.

Wait, did you hear that?

Somehow this old favourite come up to my mind this evening. I remember when I bought the record, listening to it in the dark with all lights in my house turned off..

A thought from today

I wonder what's behind that next curve.

Appletree wondering

They are the last tree to leave the leafs in the autumn and now they are the last tree to stand in full blossom. Why? perhaps the appletree is the sturdiest one and have some secret plan to invade and colonise the earth with appletrees all over..

But the flowers are so beautiful..

Wild'n crazy

Today I woke up with the feeling that I just had do to do something that would shake my mind. Something daring or perhaps illegal, Now I'm not so good at doing much illegal stuff but in my youth I had a moped that was modified, yeah it did close to 50 (km/hour).. It felt good to have that brutal force between your legs but I was so scared for the police that I almost never drove it.. just sitting at the petrol station and talking with other moped guys, it was by the way a genuine BP-station.

But today when I examined the hair on my chest, while putting on the shirt, I decided to do something that was indeed illegal. So I took the old Mercedes that still has the wintertyres with studs on and drove down to our little town to go to the library, sunroof up, shades on and Lou Reed on my lips.

Summertime

And it's also downhill.

A picture from today

Where is the watersupply to this fountain??

The wife has other things in HER mind..

Sunday pictures

This is pear-blossoms but I have newer got any pears from that tree.


In the sun you always find some cat, this girl is the one I had as a newborn kitten in a picture last year, in another blog in another life or something like that.



The Cherry-blossoms is mandatory in this region that's called the Cherry-valley, but they are not ready yet. Perhaps waiting for some more sun.

Lost in another Saturday

Have you ever wake up early a Saturday morning and felt that the direction is changed. Went to the window and looked at the dawn and in that direction it should be south or it was yesterday but now, who knows, it could be something else like west?. Is there anything that you can trust and be really sure about?

The original

That I dropped, but there is only one original. And it really is springtime now, feel it in my blood.

More of Nigel

And why his spring disappeared I will tell more about in my memoirbook. I have always been drooling at those who can play an instrument and feel envy, must be so fun..

Small mystery in life

Today it's rain outside and I just sit and look on motorcycle ad:s on internet. Come to think about that if you think on a subject that is a puzzle you don't understand. When you search for the answer and get it then what.. You have lost one mystery and how many are left to think about? Take the one that a female shirt has the buttons from the other side, hmm.. but why? Now when I got the answer I can't think more about that.

It feels like I need more puzzles in life..

Spring is in the air

Went out for a ride to test the rear brake that I've adjusted, always find some reason to open the throttles.. Stopped at this nature-meadow with oaks and hmm... what is the English name for White-sipps?

Easy solution

It's definitely more fun changing to summertyres than the opposite. But it is so annoying when a wheel has decided to not let loose and want to stay together with the car in a corroded relationship. You can use a lot of effort and bad words when trying to persuade it to loosen its grip. But the best way is to use a tool that is big enough. One knock will do the trick :-)

In some way you can make it like a saying: Don't do unnecessarily work, use a larger sledgehammer.

Dreams in sunshine

This afternoon I almost fell asleep in a pleasant dream. Sun was warm and with some effort I did manage to not do a lot of stuff that I should have done but instead lay down on a bench outside and closed my eyes against the sun. Funny this movements that you see behind closed eyes looks like.. well its a bit odd.

When you sink down into falling asleep there is this point when your fantasies start to live there own life and you just become someone who watches like if it was a movie. Now the story in this film was quite interesting;

I was standing next to a women that looked familiar in some way. We were talking and was pretty close, not unpleasant in any way.. She looked at me and we stopped talking just looking in each others eyes. Gradually I moved closer to her lips, she shut her eyes and in that moment there was this loud howl from some birds. Opened slowly my eyes and there were two seagulls who circulate above my head shouting at each other.

Closed my eyes again and wondered why it's impossible to restart an old dream.

Like it was in the stone age

Found this book by incident while surfing in cyber.

Gave me a laugh and I thought what a good ironic title. Then I realized that it was perhaps not an ironic book.. and I had an even better laugh.

Sunday evening thoughts

I stopped by next to the water and thought, do I long for material things? And the answer is yes.

Looking out on the water and feeling the breeze I get this urge for a sailing boat. Don`t have to be something special. Just a small dinghy would be nice to be sailing around and enjoying the view. Of course it must be big enough for two, it's always pleasant with company. And all impressions that you get is double that good when you have someone to share it with.

The resulting question I had in my mind when heading home is if there is better material things, that sort of justifies that you long for them?

Sunday morning breakfast

A cup of tea, earl grey.

Some cheese, prästost, pat of mayonnaise on the cheese, and an olive.

Fold it together ahh.. so tasty!

Aha!

Now I understand where this strange feeling comes from.

It´s a full moon outside!

Perhaps I would surrender and just run out and howl?

Going for a ride

It´s interesting getting out on the road a saturday evening. There is no one else in sight, but it´s also a very uncrowded area I live in. I´ll guess all normal people are sitting home watching TV so that´s why you and your machine are so lonely. But that´s fine when you short cut through the bends..



Funny that with digital cameras you can take pictures against the sun. Turns your old school thinking of photography a bit upside down. I once was that kind of darkroom maniac who could do a lot of copys to try make the picture visible from one lousy negativ, haven´t done any photographs in black and white for perhaps twenty years now hmm..



This is actually my secret beach but I didn´t feel out what the temperature was today..

When you turn off the engine there is this smell from a warm motorcycle combined with the sound from the engine and exhaust system that tickles. But otherwise there is only some birdsong and nothing else. Had it not been so cold (+10 centigrades) I could have sat on the beach thinking and feeling until the sun completely dropped.

Why do I feel so happy today?

Could it be that I didn't bought a new motorcycle today.

Could it be the sunshine that was really warm.

Could it be something else..

Simple things that makes your day

The youngest daughter came inside taking a brake from bicycling and she wanted Långfil (translation?) in a glass and a straw...

Hahaha! what a laugh I got but she did empty that glass with the straw.

Sundaymorning and snow is melting

Snowman looks a bit influenced by cubism.

Three to one

Three things I haven't done today:

I haven't bought a new motorcycle, but it was close.

I didn't find a new mistress, and it was perhaps not so close..

I didn't go to the library, and that is unusual because I always use to do that on Saturdays.


But

I bought a Saab a used one from 1993. Yes there is already four cars on the premises but they all got some sort of problems that I will fix.. when I got time and the right feeling..

It's more easy to by a new car that is ready to drive :-)

And what I like is this label.

April fools

From my window at this moment...
