Saturday, seven thirty in the morning. Soft sunlight, wet grass, close up pictures taking shape...

Miss M. left for the Cascade Locks (Oregon) early this morning. Her left arm in a sling (= 'mitella' in Dutch) because of an earlier fall this week that involved an air mattress and water... She will be camping there with a family and observe her friends in different sailing competitions.
The rest of us will be driving to Georgetown this afternoon (just south of Seattle) to go to a music festival celebrating Sub Pop's 25 year Jubilee. (Sub Pop is a famous record label from Seattle) The weather is fabulous so it should be a fun event.... Here is a funny ad to watch (just click on the word 'ad') and I am proud to say that I have actually met all these people! <wink>

In the mean time I'm reading Henning Mankell's book 'Den Orolige Mannen'. (from the Kurt Wallander series) Yes people, in Swedish!!! <wink> I must admit my brain has to work a little bit harder on this one (we left Sweden 20 years ago this summer so it has been a while), but boy do I love to read in Swedish! {smile}

Lovely pics and looks like a lovely weekend ahead. I am a teensy bit jealous!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! Read in Swedish! Why do I write in English to you?
ReplyDeleteRoligt att du läser på svenska!
Kram, Monica
Jag vet inte varfor du altid skriver pa Engelska heller Monica?! ;-)
DeleteNu slutar jag skriva på engelska, jag hade inte en susning om att du är så duktig! Imponerande.
ReplyDeleteVi säger också mitella, stackars lilla C.
Och är du alldeles säker på att det är en symaskin du fått? Det ser mer ut som ett rymdskepp! Lycka till.
Aggie hugs
Jo, men det visste du sakert nog Aggie? ;-) Jag har bara inte umlauterna etc. for att skriva ordentligt. Jag mast erkanna att skrivandet pa Svenska tar en hel del av mig. Men du kan skriva mig pa Svenska och sa svarar jag pa Engelska ok? :-)
DeleteEtt rymdskepp ar en bra beskrivining. Sa kanns det ocksa. Den har tva knivar inne i som ser fruktansvarda ut!
DeleteBeautiful pics! ...but yet again your banner and blog buttons are delightful! I love how you change things up a bit! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Pippa, I am glad somebody (like you!) notices these things. I don't know why but sometimes things just start stirring inside and a new banner has to be made! :-)
Deletethose look like good reads.....Heidi
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures. Really stunning.
ReplyDeleteI also like Wallander. Especially in the tv-series with Kenneth Branagh as Kurt. Have you seen it?
And in Swedish! What a courage you've got. I like the sound of the language but I don't make much of it. There are 3 words that keep on coming back in almost every Swedish detective:
'kvinna", "ingenting" , 'bra'
