One evening last week Moa came running (she's always running, that girl) with the above card in the air, "Look mum, what was in the mailbox!" From the considerat, creative, handy and nearby Handmade! Just when I needed a reminder of why I don't eat apple pie every night (there's an ongoing apple pie marathon among the three sisters..). And photo of the dress I still don't get into. But it's going the right way. Thanks a million, Jeanette!!

Neighbourhood interference.

Ditten och datten. This and that.
This is how I've felt. Like in a spin-dryer.
Jag har saknat er i veckan! Tiden räcker inte till, eller snarare orken. Om jag hinner ska jag ta en liten bloggrúnda senare i kväll och se vad ni har haft för er. Arrividerci!
I've missed you this week! There's not enough time, or rather stamina. If I make it I'll take a round along blogland later to night and see what you all have been up to. Arrividerci!

För full maskin! At full tilt!
Have you seen this before?? Same face, same linen, same facial expression.. But a brand new camera!!
On the whole a good day - new job and all. I'm totally blank in my mind, it's tough being nice and interested!
Tack för att ni stått ut med mina gamla bilder från arkivet!
Thanks for putting up with my old photos from the archive!

Someday my camera will come...
Here's the dress I want to be able to wear again, vintage Finnish design.
I was given a wonderful present today, a leaving-the-old-job-gift; a calender with bitchy statements for every week, and I give you this wonderful quote:
I was on a diet for a month and lost 30 days.
Yeah, that's how it feels. But I really think it's working, but then again, I don't own a scale...
Kära vänner, jag ska äta kräftor om en stund - jag hinner inte översätta - men visst är ni med mig!?

Holiday dreaming...



söndag 10 augusti 2008
Old photos - new news!
Now summer holiday is over for me, the kids have another week. Feels a little good though to think about autumn. Clear days, open fire, woollen sweater and wellies on the walk and maybe a chanterelle or two...
It's important that everyone in a family help doing the chores. This is what it looks like when Olle does the laundry hanging.
Jag tycker jag ser lite affärsmässig ut här, vilket passar bra eftersom jag nu blivit erbjuden och tackat ja till jobbet jag sökte i början av juli! Jag byter bransch för ett tag och ska nu jobba som chef för Daglig Verksamhet inom omsorgen i stället. Spännande!
Jag har inte klippt mig, bilden är något år gammal. Ni vet varför.
I think I look a little business like here, which is appropriate since I've been offered and have accepted the job I applied for in the beginning of July! I'm changing field of occupation and will be manager at something I haven't a clue to what it's called in English... It has to do with creating meaningful activities for mentally retarded people at a day centre. (Or persons with recent brain damage.) Exciting!
I haven't cut my hair, the picture is a year or two, old.

Småland or My camera is gone 2
Nu är vi hemma igen efter en liten tripp till Småland - Glasriket! Denna bild föreställer Moa - förra året - när hon får prova på att blåsa glas. Anledningen till att bilden är från förra året är att Moa och Olle gick på upptäcksfärd vid en badsjö häromdagen, Moa med kameran i byxfickan. Plopp sa det när kameran föll ner i vattnet! Storgråtande flicka kom springande och vi trodde ju det hade hänt något allvarligt, så lättnaden var stor när det bara var kameran... Så därför har jag inga bilder från det underbara Småland med skogar, hagar, badsjöar och glastillverkning. Men vi hade det härligt!
Hello again dear friends!
Now we're home again, after a little trip to Småland - kingdom of glass! This picture is Moa - last year - trying glass blowing. The reason the picture is from last year is that Moa and Olle went on an exploration tour along the shore of a little lake, Moa with camera in her pocket. "Plopp"!, the camera fell into the water! Girl with tears squirting came running, and we thought something serious had happened, so relief was great when we found out that is was just the camera... Anyway, that's why I don't have any photos to share from the beautiful Småland with meadows, forests, lakes and glassmaking. But we had a lovely time!
