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.

Purple rain / 87

Hej friends,

I have several jacaranda trees outside my window, they are in full bloom & enormous. It’s color is absolutely stunning in purple. The leaves falls onto the ground & colours the walkway completely purple…not just around my place, it’s all over the town…it rubs of on me. Todays post is about this purple rain…& it’s fitting since the rain pours down over Sydney. It has been raining for a while now but it’s a pleasant rain with comfortable warmth in the air. My in-laws are eagerly waiting to be entertained, I may well take them for a ride somewhere. I’m posting this while I wait for everyone to be ready. My beautiful son are sitting with the guitar in the kitchen & entertaining them in the meantime. His voice glides up the stairs & while I’m blogging, I’m thinking that I’m an extremely happy person who gets to experience it…it has to be the hight of happiness. I want to stop the time & be in this moment. Who cares about a little rain, purple or not:)

Casablanca / 51

Hej friends,

Casablanca – what kind of head line is that? Well, there’s an explanation. We have been watching Star wars in blue ray over a few weeks now. I’ve seen these films a dozen times but don’t ever get tired of the story. I like this genre or sagas…whatever they’re called. It’s the same with Harry Potter & Lord of the rings. I’m not overly found of romantic movies but my husband is, so it’s more then enough for both of us. I don’t know – I find these movies incredibly boring & never ending. But mind you, that’s just on movie, in real life, my believe is that romance is of real importance. It’s exciting, beautiful & necessary.

So back to the head line: The American Film Institute chose Casablanca as it’s top U.S. screen romance movie in a list recently. The film institute began issuing annual lists on different movie themes in 1998. The love story list was chosen by about 1,800 directors, actors, studio executives, critics & others in Hollywood, who voted from a field of 400 nominated films. (Just as pure general information for you) Casablanca is about romance & that’s todays post.

I thought this was romantic, a surprise when picking up the mail / Visual poetry
