Tourists at home and roof top drama

Sometimes when you have friends staying at your place you rediscover your own city and remember why you love it so much. Thank you Hanna, Robert and little Lee for two amazing days!
We woke up after the Nørrebro Distortion festival night and discovered a guy sleeping on the roof of the building facing our appartment. He kept rolling closer and closer to the edge (you can see his arm like a little bump on the bottom pic) and us shouting and whisteling was no way near enough to wake him. We ended up calling the police who came and woke the tired man up. I hope he didn't get into touble because of us, but it was just too scary to watch and not do anything.

Iben Birch Bech lamps

Love these lamps that Iben made for a bar at the Roskilde Festival a couple of years ago!

Un Giro di Sporco Sud

Just came back from a short visit in Malmö. Yesterday we went to the world premiere of this bicycle film by Martin Lang, shot at a bicycle race in Malmö last year arranged by my husband and his bicycleclub. Even though I'm not a bicyclist myself, other than using the bike for everyday transportation, I really enjoyed the film and the beautiful shots of southern Sweden in the spring. Great music too! The clip below is just the teaser so if you want to watch the film you can do it here!

Marika Åkerblom

Marika Åkerblom is a talented scenographer and also the big sister of my very best friend :) Amongst all the projects this super creative woman has worked with I want to show you two. The first two images are from the play "Mentalsköterskan" (The mental nurse) at Uppsala stadsteater and the second project is XX video below where she struggeled quite a bit to find someone who could lend her a monkey (!) I hope to see more from her soon!

The future...

Leah Dietrich was always told by her mother to write thank you notes. So she started doing that. On her blog thxthxthx she posts a new one everyday. A good exercise in appreciating life as it is.
Thank you Thursday for starting out in the worst possible way and having the good manners to change, with the help of a coffee and a good friend, into a very good day after all.

Moon and Sun under tree

Remember that I wrote about wonderful Moon & Sun some time ago? Monica made this live recording of her song Ashes together with Kalle and Lars Ekman under a 800 year old tree on the island of Curaçao. Lucky me to have such talanted and sweet friends! She is the best!

A couple of moons and one sun

I know that Easter is officially over but eggs never go out of style, right? My friend Jonas got this lamp made out of an ostrich egg from his grandmother. I was totally inspiered and now I have to find out where I can get a hold of an ostrich egg. It's not something you usually find in Danish supermarkets so I guess I have to hunt down an ostrich farmer or something. But isn't it great how this egg turns in to a tiny moon when gets dark? And talking about moons... My dear friend Monica, artist and musician based in Amsterdam, recently started to write and preform under the name Moon & Sun. Listen to her great music here or if you are lucky to live in a country where Spotify is available you can also find her there.
