Rooftops / 163

Hej dear friends,

Rooftops have always been exciting, from the time when I as a child ran around with the big kids at building / construction sites where you really could not be … & were so exciting precisely for that reason. To the rooftops you get to see from hotel rooms … when I dared to look out from the windows from that hight. I loved the movie Aristocats where the characters ran around on the rooftops in Paris. And something exciting always happened. I think I watched it hundred times with my boys. It’s not only the view that is exciting or the height, but also the fact that you are on a roof, at the top, where nobody can see you but you can see everything.

It’s exciting, fun & uplifting, but also romantic, isn’t it ?

Lightblue / 162

Hej friends,

Lightblue, a color I think of as rather unusual, these days. Not on kids maybe but generally on adults, in fashion, buildings or whatever. Some colours seems to just disappear for a long time. It’s like they’re not relevant anymore, for some reasons. It’s the same thing with, you know, actors, cities, music, food. I guess it has to do with what trendsetters, ad’s agencies, magazines etc. communicates. We are what we are presented, one might almost say. Too much around us are influenced by others.

Don’t know what you think about light blue, but I liked what I saw, anyway.

Hidden treasure

Hidden in the snow, with windows & roof that sticks out, like a submarine coming up out of the depths of the sea.

With drifting snow, and tracks in the snow – like a scene from an exciting movie.

Home cinema / 145

Hej dear friends,

The weather the last days hasn’t been much to talk about – rain, some sun & rain again. It’s rather boring, to say the least. We’ve been sitting in the sofa with various TV shows & movies lately. It’s pure joy to be together now after months with family & friends on visit from overseas. I’m just so happy to spend time with my sons in peace & tranquility & to get back some of our own time now. The rain is hammering on, outside right now, it sounds almost like a whole army stomping their feet. My oldest son Karl Anton just made me a cappuccino which I’m sincerely grateful for:) It’s rather unusual since he works part time as barrista at the airport & he refuses to touch the coffee machine after work, after hundreds of cappuccionos, lattes, espressos, etc. It doesn’t matter when I’m trying to tell him that it’s special when doing it for his beloved mum. He just mumbles quietly but smiles as he think that I don’t see this.

He’s sitting with Axel right now playing guitar & singing in the background while I’m blogging. This is life at it’s best. This typical ordinary days & moments are worth more then anything else in this world. That’s something you realise, the older you get … with some luck. I think that’s why I love our moments together, whether the guys are singing, sitting in front of the TV to watch a good movie or around the dinner table talking about anything & everything. Moments of happiness is the height of wealth – that’s my motto in life.

Nice set up in the sand, around the fire place, the view & the big screen / Designwithinreach
