Gggrrr - self control...

Do you remember? A very sweet daughter, whom I love very very much and would do anything to see smile, dropped my camera in a lake one sunny summer day 2008 and it affected my blogging severly. Last Friday bad luck struck again - the camera is broken in the same pair of hands. Unintentially, I know, but still...broken.

Therefore, an old picture. Isn't it amazing what a tan and a new set of eyes can do??

Let there be light!

Days are getting longer and longer, more and more light. Growing things bring hope and promises. Even old orchids that refuse to die no matter what treatment they get. My granny had an orchid when I was small. I was always told what a rare thing it was and how difficult it was to have it bloom. This one in my bedroom is nine years old as has been in bloom pretty much since day 1. Question: Was my granny totally without green fingers or are orchids nowadays tougher?

Olle has been walking around the house with the new camera (you remember that it was another child who dropped the old camera in the lake last summer? I figure it's safe in the house...) and I'm thrilled with his perspective of things. This is the lamp in the living room - from beneath.

The sense of light that a weak winter sun brings calls for funky tights!


Turn your back to darkness! Spring can be a state of mind!!

Someday my camera will come...

...tomorrow actually! I'm off to the post office to get it, shoot some and learn how it works. Amazing, isn't it, I ordered it yesterday afternoon,a reminder from a faithful blog reader who thought I was showing too much old stuff, and it's here today!
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!?
