Burned Dance

There was a party going on. I didn’t know at first. But suddenly I was aware of it and got invited. I couldn’t say NO. This was a special party. Looked so fun.

Dancing out there …

Crazy Art by me - There is a Party going on.

my pencils
not me – was asked to dance
incessantly

While I was at the party I completely forgot I baked. So now I can say that my seed bread is very very well baked. I tried with som cheese to check if it was eatable. Perhaps tomorrow when the smell of burnt is gone.

Unlucky me – for once. But lucky anyhow.

Men visst passar den in på huslig – ungefär så jag är på det området. En Skrivpuff.

Green Tea – Ginkgo Biloba

my tea bowl
green like my tea – ginkgo
so soft and warm
Just now enjoying this lovely tea … after a dance evening … first performance I didn’t like very much. It was too odd. Too much of acrobatics, to little of dancing and more of experimental liftings and turn-arounds. And also some talking in Hungarian so I didn’t understand. No, I didn’t like Prospero. Not at all!
But the woman playing several instruments and also singing – was great!

Next is Bolero – I know I will like that one – because I love Bolero! This time Győri Balett Company. Thursday will bring this great event.

Lilac and Snow

A day without a sunrise. A day without a set. Just a day – another day – in the coldness. Hostile coldness inside. (I mean of course indoors not inside …. that English!) No flowers would like this and I don’t either.

So I made some strong coffee – really strong – south Swedish – a special kind of dark roast. And I also was in need of dark chocolate. A day like today. Has to be at least 70 % cocoa.

Wish I had some beautiful flowers …

long stripes to reach blossoms
all in lilac and snow

… though … glad I have my imagination for a Japanese Ikebana …

Crazy Art by me - Ikebana.

I turn the heat up. Listen to the ‘classica‘ piano concert. Glance towards my colored pencils beside. Or – in fact – they glance at me – and very insistently.

Finest Dark Chocolate at least 70%.

Men Kämpig

Vilken tid! Då bodde jag med min familj i Abu Dhabi och Dubai. Då startade jag en modebutik i Kävlinge – av alla platser. Butiken gav jag namnet Step in Style. Jag sålde märkeskläder – Getti Spa, X-it, Boomerang, Dobber, Lee … Jag hann både starta och sälja butiken. Sedan flyttade vi till Bjäre för ekologisk odling. Jag skaffade första efterlängtade egna hunden och första hästen. Goliath en riesenschnauzer och Mia en vacker nordsvensk. Det var en spännande tid där mycket hände under en kort tidsrymd. Katter hade vi också förstås. Ulle-Missan som var yngsta dotterns samt Assi. Samt Cirkus som vi trodde var en kattpojk tills hon fick ungar. En underbar tid. Så oerhört intressant med ovärderliga erfarenheter. Men kämpig!

oh la la
that fashion – huge
shoulder pads

Great Fashion - X-it Sweden.
Tror till och med att jag hann ta ett steg in i politiken innan 90-talet startade. Det gjorde jag eftersom jag påtagligt upplevde bristen på barnperspektiv i de politiska besluten som rörde mina elever. Vilken erfarenhet! Alla borde göra några år inom den praktiska kommunala politiken! Man får ovärderlig erfarenhet omkring hur samhällsfunktionerna fungerar … eller inte fungerar.
Fax, telex och sedan köptes också första datorn till företaget. Sonen skapade musik på datorn och jag skötte ekonomin i tre aktiebolag. Himmel! Fick köpa till minne till datorn ideligen.

I cannot help smiling when reading about ”beyond control” and Chevrefeuille’s problem. Sorry Kristjaan 😉 I’m thinking about when I deleted my first hard-disc about 20 years ago. I went to one of my IT Gurus to get it restored. He said to me:

– Freshly dared half erased! The world will not succumb!

This had a great impact on me. It always can be fixed. Now my son is my Gury. He started to work very young with these technical boys. They also had the first BBS in Sweden (I think in all Scandinavia). We got our first computer an IBM 1980.  That’s when my son started to learn programming – by himself.
Before that it was Fax – when connecting to the world – do you remember?
It’s fun to be part of the early days.

My Mac, my miniPad and my iPhone are very important to me. I must have ”back-ups” of all kinds to secure. But ….

wandering my way
puzzled by life and html

every way or track I enter – want to
find what’s worth learning

… beyond control … I lay back and live life a bit more intensive … and then I take control again. I’m very persistent and solution-focused when I decide to.
One could say – I have learnt by life – lessons – the hard as well as the easy way – and I’m still learning – love to learn ❤

Now I would like to add a quote I read yesterday in Forestbather’s  blog. I think you understand why …. 😉 Hamish I hope you don’t mind?

Quote - Miyamoto Musashi
I try too … but sometimes …. I fail ….
