SO FAr so good!

Woke up this morning with a growing aversion to all things social. Not completely sure why? Maybe a mix between the endless stream of moronic messages from vacuous drunks, & recent irrational behavior of loved ones...I dunno. But I haven't given into it yet, so moooving on! ;D

My sofa's found herself a new owner. They're such a match! Cute as a bug both of them. :) So now I'm in the market for a new one! I want something sturdy & unique. Been looking at a few from IKEA...but the uniqueness instantly jumps out the window & commits suicide just by the thought. But I do want something that's kinda L-shaped. I know that isn't very Feng Shui... But it's cosy to snuggle up in a corner, isn't it? ;) I've also snooped around for "shipping pallet sofa"-ideas. & some of them are quite cool. 
LOOK! ☟

I think this originates from Bo bedre.

BUT, is it a tad bit ShabbyIndustrial for me? Will I quickly grow tired of it? o.O I sense that a yes is the answer to that...sooo how can I get my victorian inspired camel-back, yet, comfy tufted corner sofa with a hint of industrial feel to it in a week? Cause YES, I'm having a eostre gathering at my house in a couple of weeks & I can't have them sitting on the floor now can I? ;P ...or maybe, if I make some plump pillows of some sort & scatter them all over the floor. Moroccan themed easter anyone? ;P Hehe...

I want a NewOld table too...& an old window. :P Can feel the flea market bug brewing in me again...it's that time of year!! ;)

I got a lot of firewood from my lovely neighbours today, so now I have this huge pile in my garage & a nice & toasty house. 



I take my hat off to him, that has worked a lifetime doing that…chopping down trees, tending to the woodland. Hard work...& think, he’s way over 80 & still does it with a smile. 
Then there’s her, gosh, her kindness radiates. I can’t even explain it, but she somehow teaches me gratitude on a whole different level - & grace. She reminds me that there’s a lot to be thankful for, it’s just a matter of perspective… 



Guess what I’m most thankful for at the moment is that this hollow space in my heart’s slowly being filled again…through kindness & the simple thing of being seen, & opening my own eyes to the little things in life - that actually is life itself.

Fluttering

Stood in the backyard this morning & got surrounded by white butterflies of some sort.  They were everywhere, especially in the field below my garden. I’ve been noticing a few flying in a whirlwind motion around each other for months now, but today was absolutely amazing. I filmed them, but my house & garden look derelict at the moment, so this pic has to suffice...

The hops that are growing at the bottom of my backyard have been spreading out on my f’ugly chainlink fence, quite decorative actually. Wasn’t a bad idea to take some & transplant them into my garden last year after all...

I still wonder how they came here though, cause they were just outside the fence when I moved here…& my neighbour haven’t got a clue why they’re there. Makes me wonder what was on this plot of land before this house got built. Next door is a church which got rebuilt in the mid 1800s to accommodate more people. But there’s reportedly been a church there since 1200…sooo I’m thinking that mayb…

In flames

So, tonight Sweden is burning, again… At least part of it. To me it seems like the Swedish government’s a bunch of ostriches burying their heads in the sand, or up each other’s arses. Either way it’s disturbing that they’re allowing it to continue. It’s such a disgrace that they let a huge chunk of their citizens live in that horror every single day. …& on top of that people are throwing stones on the firemen & police... Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.

I have people in Sweden that are near & dear to me…& I don’t want their kids to grow up & face any of that s**t. They need a government that aren’t all talk & no action. …or else it’ll spread like wildfire & there are no amount of water that can extinguish those flames, only live fire.
