THANK YOU all 110.000 individuals,

A BIG THANK YOU, to all supporters who have been with me since the beginning, to you who have come on board during the journey & to you who arrived recently. Many thanks for every lovely comment, your encouragement & for that you find inspiration that links us together in common interests. We are now 110,000 individuals on an ordinary woman.

(I am fond of old sayings. They have survived the passage of time. They tell of something that were once whilst they often fit into what is now, too).

Daily inspiration, piles,

I’ve just gone through piles of books & magazines to try to clear some of my collections. I have not the heart to throw any of this although much of the magazines are old. It’s simply not possible. That’s why this picture fit as well as today’s image love.

Pool-life

I have checked in on family & friends on FB during the Swedish summer & all seemed to enjoy their summer, when the sun is up & working, which haven’t always been the case. Summer is over by now, back home. At the same time, we are heading into the first days of spring, in Australia. Not that we can complain about the winter weather – sunny, hot & truly wonderful, all in all.

We have pool thoughts in terms of our backyard. We have in any case come so far, that we’ve agree that it should be a tall form slender pool that’s ideal for swimming. We want to save some of the garden to fruit trees & greenery, of course. This is still in its infancy & a lot could happen before we take the first steps. So meanwhile, I’m enjoying all kinds of pools around the world, through some web browsing. Life can be so simple sometimes, right? Everything is within reach in terms of inspiration. These pools are more from a holiday angle but it’s nice anyway. That ‘s what pool-life is about, after all.

Daily inspiration, white kitchen

There is a lot going on in this kitchen. I like the white & fresh expression. Open shelves in combination with glass doors makes the kitchen area interesting. It’s exciting when you can see the contents inside even though it might require some structure for it not to be perceived as messy. The lower kitchen area in front gives stability to the room. (I only think it is too much with six pendants above).

Daily inspiration, hamburger

Now & then I get a craving for a hamburger – but it has to be homemade burgers with fresh bread, vegetables, onions & somewhat sour cream alternatively natural yoghurt. Or as the ones below – looks nice enough to me 🙂
