Bike tour / 205

Sometimes, things exists in environments, to fill up the space or to create a sense. It’s clear that they are there for a reason or another. These are often common things that not really creates any particular reaction. They fit so well into the environment that they become easy to ignore…or maybe not. That is, if it’s not too excessively or seems too unnatural. I am thinking of bicycles, as an example. Such as when these are placed in a hall … or becomes an eye-catcher in a part of a room. Not that it’s really needed because there are some clever solutions for that. Someone, has designed a shelf / rack that supports the cycle, while the shelf is used for small items. But it seems likely as more cool to just lean the bike a bit loosely against the wall.

Bikes are used frequently in various interiors. Perhaps because they give life or realism to the environment. There’s of course a need to bring in the bike into the home, given the housing situation or the residential area. You want to know & ensure that you have your bike left there, the next morning. Well, anyway, if it works indoors & you have the space then why not… just take a look at the images below.

Sunshine / 200

Hej friends,

It’s been a special day today because my darling has been able to walk, without any help the entire day in the city. We’ve been strolling around after a nice breakfast in the sun. Coffee  here & some shopping there  & then back home for some rest. He’s been through a hip replacement recently so I’m amazed that you can heal so fast … amazed & grateful too of course.

I’ve now been blogging over a year & this becomes my 200th post. It’s remarkable that I’ve continued blogging, considering the time required. It takes some time to reflect on & collect images for different themes. Many photos recur in different media again & again. In addition, many blogs are filled by similarly images, which is not surprising given that a lot of these deals with current issues, trends & tendencies. At the same time, I should probably mention that it’s a bit of a therapy, to browse the web. You enter a different world or rather worlds, of characteristics, news, diversity & overwhelming mix of old & new.

I never thought I would take the step to use technology, because of the internal resistance. I’m not technical at all. But if you’re not into it, then you are outside. I have no problem to remain ignorant of certain things sometimes. However, in this case, it probably does more harm than good. So I’m trying to keep myself up to date with social media, blogs etc. I’m even downloading books & music via iTunes … AND I’m reading in bed…even though Ipads are hard & books are soft. It’s never too late, I guess.

Accessories / 175

Hej friends,

I don’t have time to blog nowadays, too busy with ordinary things which needs to be done. Life has taken over & dictates the conditions for my everyday life. It feels like I’m  just doing things with the left hand & it become what it becomes. Not much time for reflection really. I guess it’s the same for most people…you’ll just have to make the best of it…go with the flow until you can turn it around, or what else, really.

And that’s my friends, that’s when I need something in life that beautifies & highlights…such as accessories. Home accessories as well as fashion. Not that I use that much accessories personally, but a bit more at home. I like the big change they provide, with the small means.

Colour splash / 137

Hej friends,

I’m currently sitting outside, in my backyard, drinking my coffee, turning my face towards the sun blogging & pondering. I suddenly felt that life is actually completely wonderful. It’s just one of those days in which everything feels great without any specific reason. One of those days when one should take the opportunity & rejoice over the small things, when you feel so fortunate that you want to share it with the rest of the whole wide world, when you suddenly feel that life does not have to be perfect to be really good. And since life is unpredictable it’s important to just stop & really enjoy the moment. That’s what I’m doing right now:) AND wondering over an appropriate birthday present for my darling, which we will celebrate tomorrow.

I do believe that it would sit well with some colour now, although I’m a lover of black, white & simple base colors. After all, colours stands for happiness & joy, right?
