I’ve been swimming 3-4 days a week for 6 weeks. Started at 1k, and now I’m doing 1,2k. I’ve had 50 % less migraine, and could decrease the use of triptans. My 11 year old just told me I look ”maybe a bit thinner and much more energetic”. I guess I have to keep this up now for the rest of my life 😅

There was no fire though. The guard told us that a hair dryer had somehow malfunctioned and triggered the alarm. Everyone kept swimming, although it took 5 minutes for them to get the alarm off. I was wondering if we would have to run out in swim suits in 5+ degrees and rain..

#finland in November. Waiting for my daughter to finish her training. Tuesday evening is becoming my favorite: I get 2 hours alone time in the swimming centre. Today I did 1200 m 💪 A bit eventful tonight: a lady had a nosebleed in the showers, and just when I got in the pool the fire alarm started..

Listening to streamed seminars is a perfect time for me to paint 😅 Connects well to the topic today: Life requires art (Elämä vaatii taidetta), a book release seminar by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Very interesting book, and I’m waiting for my copies to arrive on mail soon. #art #painting

Love that my kids have started collecting #LP #records 🖤 Today we visited an international record fair in #turku Funny that it’s mostly older men at the event. My son said maybe they are looking for rock mostly. He joked that his taste is more non-binary 😆 (we bought Melvins, Kraftwerk and Gorillaz)

Happy birthday to my beautiful, sweet mom today ❤️ these old pictures are so wonderful, taken by my dad in the 1980s when we lived on the west coast of Sweden.

Late October 🧡 #autumn #october #turku #finland #photography #photowalk

October is rhinestone month 💎 once again I’m gluing thousands of these on my daughter’s gymnastics costume, so that the whole troupe shines on the mat. On Saturday the competition season starts. And these are a nice #visualstim too.. rhinestone #asmr 💎😁 #crafts #costume

Snabbt besök på #helsingforsbokmassa idag. Ett supertrevligt Prata bok med @henrikaandersson.bsky.social och eleverna från Kervo 🧡 De var verkligen superduktiga intervjuare! Och jag hittade den senaste lättlästa boken som jag formgivit för S&S: Norrskenet ser på oss 🩷

I have a group exhibition coming up in January, and about 5-6 paintings that are all half done but potential candidates for the exhibition. Took some closeups of parts that I like about them today to sort of remind myself what I want to do.. we’ll see how they end up! #painting #workinprogress #art

What a superduper day and it’s only 14.42. The morning was frosty and I went swimming 1k. After that a visit to a book release at Mökkigalleria in Kaarina. The feeling there is always so warm and welcoming 🧡 Now I’m hanging out with the fam the rest of the day ❤️

This rainbow is telling me that going to the swimming pool after work today was a great idea. The post-swim euphoria also says so 💪🥰🌈 Also there was a really nice community feeling in there today. People were nice and polite. Even some words exchanged with strangers 🩵

Climbed up the little hill in the forest today. But since I still have trouble walking (now my heel), I decided to get a 4 month swimming+gym card to get enough exercise. I love swimming, but don’t love all the hassle with getting there, locker rooms, crowded lanes, ill fitting swim wear etc.

Nästa vecka 23.10 kl. 12 blir @henrikaandersson.bsky.social och jag intervjuade av elever från Svenskbacka skola i Kervo. Vi ska prata om boken Alldeles lysande som samskapades med 272 barn i språköskolor runt om i Finland! Kom och lyssna 📚#helsingforsbokmässa2025 #barnböcker #illustration

I think October might be my favorite month, when it comes to nature and light. #autumn #october #nature #trees #finland #turku

I’ve had several dreams where I’m attempting to photograph the moon. Evidently it’s really important to me. I saw a good daylight moon today, but i felt too low to try to photograph it 😒

I have to go out and work in cafés more. So much better focus, creative thinking and clarity. Perfect amount of stimulation for my brain. I’ve been reading up on narrative analysis methodology, and it feels like I made some good connections to my material. Anyway, a moment when writing felt easy.

Disappearing people, disappearing morals – how two years has changed Gaza and Israel | Orly Noy There can be no healing until the world stares into and acknowledges the void torn open by this conflict, says Israeli journalist Orly Noy

Powerful article.

Haven’t posted #knitting or #crafts in a long while, but I’ve been mostly working on this huge blanket while watching all the Vikings series. It needs about 50 cm more to cover a bed. My 17 year old already reserved it for her room ☺️😍

An inspiring second day of the #cultureandhealthforum #turku Our presentation went well and it was especially nice with positive feedback after, and exciting new contacts in the arts and wellbeing sector 🙏

First day of Culture and Health Forum in Turku started with magical circus performances 🤸‍♂️ Tomorrow my collaborator and I are having our research and demo presentation about a drama workshop with teens. We’ll be acting a bit too 😅 #cultureandhealthforum #turku

Life is lifing hard with too much work eternally behind on housework still a persistent cough from the flu that started 3 weeks ago. But I stopped a moment and took a picture of this light cloud to send to my son who is back on the 3,5 hour bus trip to school again. He appreciates good #clouds

5 and 7 trying to not cough every 30 seconds, and when will this flu end, I’m really fed up with it now 🫩

I’ve had a sore throat since Saturday and also constant violent cough for 3 days, failed to deliver for several deadlines and had to cancel many meetings because talking hurts, and everything sucks. But at least I got a pic of a morning moon when driving my kid to her bus for school 🌖
