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!
