The truth is.

Dear readers, friends and followers. I feel it's time I share this with you. I usually don't post things that are this personal since this is more a "blog-of-nice-stuff" than it is a blog about me.

The thing is, that for the second time in my life, the evil little bastard called cancer moved in to my body. I'm furious, frustrated and very sad. I thought I had done my round but suddenly he is back. Not as ugly as last time perhaps, but ugly enough

The good news are that it was detected at a very early stage and the doctors tell me that all the evil stuff was removed with the surgery I had. I will be undergoing chemo therapy for the months to come though, to make sure that awful son-of-a-bitch doesn't move back in. Therefore, this blog will be silent for a while.

Meanwhile I will be spending time with the ones I love and find ways to cure both body and soul.

I thank you all for stopping by and I hope to be back soon!

Isn't it strange

When life is tough, people you've known for most (or all!) of your life strangely disappears. At the same time, people you've never met before turns up from nowhere to give you strenght and help you out.

Today we had a really awful day. Suddenly the doorbell rang and outside our door was this wonderful person with three books he wanted to give to my husband. Just to cheer him up. We've never met before.

Thank you so much! You saved our day, Egill!!

Everything will be fine

Today

Sometimes life hits you in the face big time. So today, when I have no words, I borrow from Isak Dinesen aka Karen Blixen. I won't be posting for a while, but I'll be back. I just need to be close to my salt water for a while. Love to all of you.

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.

Jag älskar min mamma!

Jag älskar dig mamma, du är bäst!
Happy mother's day mom. I love you. You are the best!

Happy last day of Easter!

Doodles

Found these over at Jokemijn (thanks for many inspiering posts). Lovely. The bags are by Monja Gentschow.
Easter is coming up and we are going to Sweden for a wedding and to visit Simon's family. I'm really looking forward to it. Just three more days of work and then some vacation.

You shouldn't let poets lie to you!

Muller Fien photography

Love these images from the studio of dutch (here we go again) furniture designer Maarten Van Severen by photographer Muller Fien. Beautiful.
Correction: Not Dutch! Belgian! Good to know my taste goes beyond the borders of the Neatherlands :)
I'm not the best blogger at the moment, I know. Still trying to get into my new job. I love it but it takes a while to adjust to a new place after all. Possibly the best job I've ever had, btw :) But, so you know, I'm still here!

So pretty.

 

Everything that comes out of the Netherlands looks good. Or at least, so it seems. (Sorry for the lo-res images, but I couldn't resist posting :)
