Brilliant. Her way of portraying someone who is over-acting without over-acting herself is profoundly impressive.

Make it 8. I just finished it. I hope I will be coherent when I'm making the speech this afternoon. But it stood between sleeping and writing so...

Writing a speech between 4 and 7 am on the day of the celebratory dinner is completely normal, right? *

*= Those who know me know that I usually write a song. I had it all figured it months ago. It was half-written when I found out that someone else had written one too so a speech it is...

I love it too. This year they've been harder than ever to find so we've stocked up when we've found some that we like. The last few years I've printed my own (w photos fr prev. years) before going to the archipelago but this year there was no time or energy. Recieving postcards is very special too.

After sending postcards to "oversea relatives" I sent one to someone I met during a trip many years ago. Tomorrow the plan is to send one to a relative of a relative (which means the person in question is my "sort of" relative); a person I have not yet met. Real life social media, in a way.

In all their crowning glory...

When you haven't felt like painting with watercolours for a while and you sit on your favourite island and pick up your pad and your paint and your paintbrush with absolutely no expectations and you accidentally paint something you really really like...

It has arrived! YAY!

Oh! That's wonderful! 😍 I hope you're having a lovely time. x

Walking through 100 nuances of green to 30 nuances of blue and back again is beneficial for the soul.

Indeed... (but the Snoopy stamps are lovely!)

Thank you. For me it's a healing view.

All bets are on the search tomorrow apparently. Even my own. 🙂

Yesterday I searched for my phone for a minute before realising I had it in a runner's pouch on my arm. Today I desperately searched for 10 minutes before I realised it was in said place. Currently taking bets on weather I've learned something or if I'm having a half-hour search session tomorrow.

It was a lovely day. 😊

An archipelago view. Grey granit rocks covered with lichen slope down into the blue sea. Clouds are mirroring themselves on the surface surrounded by dark greenery and a remote island.

Yes, thank you. Just waiting for the cortison side-effects to wear off.

Have you been to Mainau before?

Oh! I haven't been to Bodensee in ages! (Went to Mainau when I was veryvery young.) Lovely photos.

We had a "big purge" in Swe after a food journalist wrote books about this about a decade ago. "Äkta vara" (which in Swe can mean both "the real thing" and a genuine product) labels were put up in stores. And then C19 and the recession/inflation came and now the only worth is the low price again.

Very much looking forward to this weekend! I will be teaching a series of master classes at the Carinthische Musikakademie in Ossiach, culminating in a performance on Monday evening. If you would like to attend the master classes and/or performance, visit this link:

Many public lawns have apparently let out a joint statement that they don't like to be walked on. Why would there otherwise be so many signs about it?
