Tzatziki and salmon

Cucumber and yoghurt,
garlic and olive oil,
salt, pepper, vinegar, a pinch of sugar...


Yummy!



Home made bread to dip in it!
Salmon with lemon and vegetables baked in the oven.
Lovely!


Little kitten Shandie Pipkin vas very helpful with the fish.
She needed a long nap after dinner

Life of a living Mop

Sometimes we loose track of what's back and front
of the Sweet Dinkie Doodle

I take a deep breath and grab the scissors
and after a good hour
she looks like this:

Half her size

Still some adjusting to do these following days but still
life for the Mop is better

for a while

Suddenly winter

Back to the cabin : and it was true winter for the first time this year!
Loaded with all we need for a cosy couple of days
we met this:

Cold!

-15 C outside and +10 C inside this morning

A little easter trip to Sweden

Sand and pine cones
lovely beach
and rocks
a bit to eat
drama
and the sun settingLove that place!
so open and welcoming
I'll be back when the wind is warmer
and the days are longer



Last Sunday

It was a lovely day!
A nice farmer cut down the massive tree that stood too close to the cabin.
And while its big body had disappeared,
the sun could shine undesturbed on our happy faces.
It was lovely and warm
The farmer cut the tree into pieces
Like chairs or tablets for a troll

Spring flowers were to see
Smiling along with the sun
We knew for sure: This is as good as it gets!

Easy going and an ice cream

Sausages
Potatoes, carrots and suedes
mashed with butter, milk, mustard, pepper and salt
Add som vegetables and enjoy!
And just because we deserved it
a glass of wine...
Yes, on a wednesday....
.....
By the way, I went to a all day meeting today..
with people from other towns
who work with the same things as I do .
During breaks we could have som coffee, fruit etc as a snack.
But they also had a popcorn machine and a soft ice machine,
and we could serve ourselves..
I liked making my own softice, I must say.

For the girls

I baked us a cake yesterday, but had major problems getting it to you through my blog.
But better late than never:
For the girls on March 8th
For equal rights and possibilities for all both men and women!

Strings - finally found it!

So finally, after searching for years I found it!
I'll tell you the story: (short version)
When I was 15 years old,
I had a job at a library, from 1800 - 2100 tuesdays and thursdays
At night waiting at the bus stop after work
I was listening to my walkman to keep the dark night out...
I had borrowed a cassette (cause that was the thing then) from my older sister
It was a bit different from my liking, and obviously she didn't like it since she lent it to me..
After a while I tucked to one of the songs
and most of the lyrics stuck to my brain..

I forgot what band it was,
and it has been itching ever since..
I've tried to search for it on the web
and tried to search for it in the music sharing network..
But nothing...

Finally today..
I found it!
And here it is:

From Dr. Hook:

STRINGS
Strings, there's always strings,
attached to the things,
we think are free to take

Lines, thin shiny lines,
so very fine,
but so very hard to break

Threads, just hanging threads,
weaving a web that we can hardly see

But Oh,
we feel the strings,
pulling on you,
pulling on me

Strings,
invisible strings,
tying our wings,
keeping us on the ground

Strands,
soft silky strands,
takin' our hands and leavin' them tightly bound

Vines, clinging vines,
twisting they wind,
covering everything

Strings,
pulling on you,
pulling on me

So tangled together,
we don't want to be free
We're hurting and crying,
but trying endlessly

Strings,
there's always strings,
attached to the things,
we think are free to take

Lines, thin shiny lines,
so very fine,
but so very hard to break

Threads, tiny threads,
weaving a web that we can hardly see
But Oh,
we feel the strings,
pulling on you,
pulling on me

Oh, strings,
we feel the strings,
pulling on you,
pulling on me
pulling on you,
pulling on me
pulling on you,
pulling on me
pulling on you,
they're pulling on me....

What do you mean I'm not a tomato

This is where you keep them isn't it?

Acting all innocent


Humming discretely


Busted...

How on earth could you tell?

The Eggy feeling

I like boiled eggs
boil for 3,5 minutes
and they're perfect.
yellow and soft in the middle
Simple and lovely

Walking in sunshine

a sunny day.

Close call

One horrible moment I thought my laptop had collapsed
or not exactly all gone, but I couldn't get online
and I felt the cold turkey sneek up on me!
Luckily it was false alarm
someone had pressed a button I didn't know was there
and when I found it
I was back on track...
Phew!
(The keyboard on the photo is my old and dusty one at work..)
