Melancholic Saturday

Anna Ternheim - Shoreline

I've been standing on the shoreline
Always waiting
For something lasting
Loose your hunger, you loose your way
Get confused and you fade away

Oh this town
Kills you when you are young
Oh this town
Kills you when you are young

I'm not the boy i used to be
This town has got the youth of me
All eyes turn hollow
From the work of sorrow

Standing on the paving
By the office building
They've got so much to do
Never time for you

We are shadows
Oh we're shadows
Shadows in the alley

You die when you're young
You die when you're young
You die when you're young

You Are My Sweetest Downfall

Give me a piano and a great voice and I am all yours - "Samson"

Relaxing Easter

Had two of the best friends over yesterday, M & P, taking advantage of the fact that I had the kitchen on my own. M and I surprised our self with actually succeeding with the chicken with pesto and chili and we managed to throw together a decent chocolate cake as dessert. I must have had too many rum and cokes (by myself, everyone else has a medical reason not to drink…) because today I feel slightly hangover. Great evening anyway, and hope we can have some more of them (with more alcohol ;-)).

We are currently babysitting this little fellow above, not very easy to handle as the female has understood the meaning of Easter – egg time. Yesterday she took advantage of taking a shower in the sink, reluctantly leaving the bowl she is nesting an upcoming egg…

Enjoy your Saturday!

Holidays

Time

Tomorrow I will see M again. It’s been approximately 2 months, separated by distance and time and then back to only distance again. We are used to it and we know we can do it and that we want to do it.  

There is too much going on in life than to be attached to one person physically. But mentally, we are always together and in the end that is the most important thing.

Nevertheless, the physical form of M is very much appreciated tomorrow! I can finally meet up with my friends that somehow are all in pairs now, with my own partner in crime. I guess I forget that time passes also at home when I am away.

Napa

One of the most perfect areas in the world is Midwest California, with San Francisco, the ocean and Napa Valley. Here you will find it all; great culture, amazing food, shopping and wine. If you are heading to Napa Valley, take the Golden Gate Bridge and enjoy the beautiful scenery overlooking the city. Once you are in Napa, make sure your first stop is Robert Mondavi vinery… and that you have a driver ;-)
