Summer or fall?

Right now we have a heatwave over Scandinavia. That is remarkable or maybe scary, depending on if you believe in global warming or not. I do. But for now I prefer to enjoy the warm weather and not think too much about what it could imply...

I woke up this morning and was FAT, which should not come as atotal surprise, I know. But I just haven´t calculated my BMI for a while...so I decided it was the TIME to do something about it (not for the first time in history though, we´ll see how it goes) and went for a walk with music in my ears. I also took some pics of a lovely Stockholm, basking in the sun but with autumn colours. Enjoy!

Some Friday evening blues

I´m back on my feet and have spent this day away from work reading through my own little manuscript. Its a First Draft, and although a lot is rubbish some is actually good, too:) So this weekend will be spent revising and writing, now that I´m no longer sick.

Still I have some Friday evening blues - wondering if this is really what it´s all about...you know?
And so I play the perfect song for these occasions.

That is a great song by a great artist. Enjoy!

Give me a reason to crawl out of the bed!

I´ve been sick an home from work a few days, but finally I´m getting back on track. Still at home, but able to do something besides feeling sorry for myself. I still need a bit of motivation to crawl out of bed though...

So what do I need for motivation?
Well, surfing the Internet is always good. For instance have I been planning which cottage in Suffolk or Sussex or Cornwall I want to retire to, when its my time to shine (that is when son has gone to Uni and I can start living). I have found several useful sights but damn, it´s expensive! I will most certainly have to sell a few books before then  (you know, those books that write themselves while I´m surfing the Internet)....and I have to decide which part of the UK I like the best. Any ideas out there?

And ofcourse I surf for inspiration for my never-ending quest for a perfect wardrobe.

And I keep finding interesting blogs. Sometimes you do find yourself trapped reading something you would never have imagined - like the blog of a young guy who has recently moved to London and trying to find work and lodgings...nothing spectacular, but well written and straight out of reality. I love the Internet!!!

She who searches shall find

I´m sick right now, but in between bouts of sickness I got out of bed and searched the Internet and found this great blog for those of us who are inclined to some writing of our own

I have ofcourse signed up for the newsletter...

And a pic for me and everyone else who needs encouragement in life right now:

This is the pier in Helsingborg and doesn´t it remind you that summer is not that far away? And even if it is actually, then how great wouldn´t it be to lay on one of those sunbeds and look out over the sea to Helsingör (where the beer is cheap and the chocolate is free:))

Autumn is the time for new-ness!

September is the month when you want things to happen - new things! New Job (haven´t done that one yet), New wardrobe (doing my best) and New project (thinking about it). Others that should be included would be New Body and New Hairdo and New Book. Those are still in processing.

I really shouldn´t, but I have. Been doing some serious shopping.
