Bolero for Heart & Bath

Spotify has been very nice to me. I usually don’t like when things are made for me on Internet. I want to do myself! Presented music I listened to most during the 2016 in a special list. Now I was in a good mood and the bath tube was filled with hottest water so … I might as well listen when having my refreshing bath.

Turned on …. soft quiet tones …. ah Bolero … Perfect … I started to sneak into the very very very hot water. My nipples turned inwards in fright but I told them it was safe. Perfect music this Bolero I thought while feeling like a mermaid billowing my body like she would do. Following the music. Heavenly this and good for my back – the muscles. The only thing that differ me from a mermaid now is that I can spread out my legs.

I am moving to the music and enjoying heaven. In time exactly to the grand mighty final – the last seconds of Bolero – I drop my head into the water. Splash!

Now ready for next song and shampoo.

Bolero is a favorit of all times! Combined with dance – ballet or contemporary – oh I can watch interminably. This year I have several times. I admire dancers ability to control their bodies – wow – performed art at highest level. They handle their bodies like a director his/her orchestra.

Maya Plisetskaija is also a favorit – she is a terrific ballet dancer – here choreographed in contemporary by another favorit Maurice Béjart.
Now listen and take your bath! Follow the music … enjoy!

 


I could go on writing about next …. but … maybe later … I got up to Zorba’s dance.


 

Crazy Art by me - Scarlet Crabfish Claw

I Lied Yesterday

I’m sorry! I lied yesterday. I totally forgot about one occasion. We were invited to an August festivity – a crayfish party. Lots of shots and songs around the table. But it wasn’t actually the ”shots” that made me feel bad – looked like I was drunk. I was really sick. It was the crayfish – possibly together with the snaps. After I felt an immense aversion to crayfish and do so today too.

So – No thanks to crayfishes!

Seafood delicacies – Yes please!


Yeah! I just got an extra Day. Thought it was the 15th …. Tjohooo!

Crazy Thoughts

When I was out walking with my Canon and bracelet Fitbit I suddenly got a lot of funny thoughts in my head. I often do actually – poems are popping upp and I am amused by them. Today they were of a mischievous kind. But not the first.

people in streets
young and old open their faces
when I smile

Mostly I am smiling when walking about – if not in a deep consideration. Then I can look angry I understand. Well today was a day for giggling and smiling.

I want
to get drunk with you
how funny

Thinking of a nice full bodied red wine but I don’t know what you want. Maybe whiskey? Well that’s OK. And I haven’t had a glass of wine since my sister left a week ago.
I also must confess I don’t usually get drunk. Last and only time was …. let me think …. wow … it was exactly 50 years ago! It was Lucia day and I was supposed to be Lucia. Ha ha I remember very clearly.

and then
I want to lay down by
your side
feeling the essence of your soul
open up a glimpse of mine

That sounds good dosen’t it. perhaps it’s coming more ….
Now some music … ”lay down by my side” … is popping up in my head … isn’t that Kris Kristofferson? One of my favorit songs.

That Kind of Mood

I am in a kind of mood to write about love. Don’t know why. Just experiencing. Like I did before about sadness.

The thing is …

I love to write!

Love to listen to music!

I love to take part …. well actually I don’t any longer … in one way … but in another I do …

I love to watch … people … people’s behaviour … performance arts … creativity …

I love to … love …

I love having the flow …

oh my gosh
with mind of joyful ideas
crazy me

… sometimes … often … in right time … the writing time …

Well!

Ticket to Heaven

Sov hela natten så gott. Till slut steg jag upp. Stängde av P1 på radion och satte på SVTplay – Forum.
Snart dags för morgonens första goda Skånerostade kaffe. Alla som kommer och bor i min lya här betalar ”hyra” med kaffe – Zoégas Skånerost. Själv brukar jag kunna ta med 2-3 paket i mitt handbagage. Denna gången hade jag tre långlagrade bitar herrgårdsost också. Osten brukar säkerhetskontrollen vilja titta på. Den är nästan slut nu och därför var jag tvungen att fylla på ostförrådet.
Åkte först till WestEnd för att skriva ut ytterligare en biljett. Har många event som väntar. Jag har till och med två biljetter till Nötknäpparen ifall jag händelsevis skulle få besök till jul. Jag stannar över både jul och nyår.
Åkte sedan till en saluhall på andra sidan sta’n och andra sidan Donau. Köpte tre bitar av olika getostar. Åkte slutligen till centrum och kollade på Vigadó om det fanns någon konsert på G.
Sedan gick jag hem med mina kassar och några nya bilder i kameran.
Det jag ser allra mest fram emot är konserten den 3 januari med Boban Markovics. Himmel vilken musiker! Sannerligen Master of Trumpet. Fick hela kroppen genomströmmandes av kalla kårar när han spelade i stora Synagogan under den judiska kulturfestivalen. Inga lätta svepningar då inte. Vilken känsla!

Skrivpuff: Svepa.

I don’t remember if I recorded with iPhone or camera – anyway the sound could have been better. I’m not at all god at recording 😦
Boban is the man in black. If you listen – listen to the end!

Möte med betydelse

Träffade en så trevlig och intressant man. Han satte sig bredvid mig. Kommenterade min kamera och objektivet. Skulle fixa en överföring på mobilen. Han gjorde så och jag fortsatte med gatufotografering. Sedan pratade vi. Öppet. Så det kan bli! Hur mycket avslöjade vi inte för varandra! Där på bänken. Två främlingar för varandra. Så märkligt livet mellan två kan vara. Två människor på en bänk. Och en massa andra människor bara passerar förbi.
Ett möte med betydelse.

två liv i möte om livet

Blir trött på

Jag gillar förändringar. Blir liksom trött på både blogg teman och profilbilder. Måste byta då och då. Det kan ta många timmar. Tid har jag ju. Jag tröstar mig med att jag lär mig mer under tiden. Bra för hjärnan! Som att lära ett nytt datorprogram. Jag har massor med tid. Jag har också massor med saker som jag kan fylla tiden med. En vacker dag ska jag ta tag i sortering av alla tusentals foton jag har på mina externdiskar. En vacker dag alltså ….

Idag har jag ägnat massor med timmar för att leta och testa nya teman för denna bloggen. Det slutade med att jag återvände till det jag hade …

Nu har jag skrivit en HAIBUN med HAIKU i.

Taking off now …

I took the flight. Like I so often do. To my favorite city in Europe. Budapest in Hungary. The center of all kind of arts. The city of many festivals. Now it is Christmas market. Everybody is out and I love mingling around with my Canon. All kinds of handicraft. All kinds of Hungarian food – made out in the air. Chimney cakes baked for never ending queues. All kinds of languages spoken. Some people or many actually like the mulled wine but I don’t. But I wouldn’t say no to an Unicum.

#HAIKU – Blue sunset

Carpe Diem Special #177 Cor van den Heuvel’s ”a tide pool”, three favorite haiku.

I choose this haiku because it´s hopeful and optimistic.
Here is mine:

#haiku – Blessing

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #45, The Beatitudes.

Two nights before the earthquake in Nepal I dreamt there was one close to me. A long crack about 40 cm wide appeared and I was so amazed. I couldn’t stop taking pictures. No one was hurt in my dream.
I feel so sorry for the people in Nepal – for the children losing parents. It’s so sad. I’m glad I am part of a generous country. Sweden has sent people, search dogs, food and other kinds of help. The Swedish people always send their money when disasters strike in different parts of the world.

IM – is an organisation I like a lot.

This haiku challenge is the hardest ever – for me.
