About the need of a boat, I think.

It's been raining for two days. The snow is not so much melting away as it is collapsing like an unfortunate soufflé. Most likely there'll be a grand flood this year, houses will float away, roads fall apart, the face of the landscape will change.

Nature does things like that every now and then. She has her reasons.

#My2009

Nattens Bibliotek asked her readers to sum up the year 2009 in 140 signs or less. I quickly decided that for myself, the most honest way of doing this would be to write spontaneously the first things that came to mind.

I've seen worse, but not often and never for so long. Darkness, coldness and hard times approach but we'll get through #mitt2009

I tweeted it and then looked at it again, realising I'm talking more about politics, here in Sweden as well as global, than anything else.We seem to have lost the balance, lost sight of the point where there's room for everybody. There seems to be a short sightedness in the governmenting, again both localy and globaly, a childish way of ruling as if there was neither a tomorrow nor any consequenses, and that worries me.

Because there is a tomorrow, and after tomorrow there's another day.

Skåne in snow

Skåne is still covered in snow, it's been almost a week now. It may seem like a little thing for those of you living in other climate zones but we haven't had this much snow in.... I don't know, but it's beautiful!

Buses don't run, cars slide off roads if the driver is not overcareful, it's cold and snow silent and the nights are as bright as they should be in wintertime.

Christmas Tree

Christmas is coming up and regardless of whether we like it or not it's one of the really big and important parts of what makes us who we are. And because of the iconic status of this holiday, statements made during it reaches around the world. In Paris, "French designer Fabrice Peltier used the holiday season to raise awareness to the environmental issues of our time" Go have a look, these are really cool trees, and a great way to reuse plastic bottles!
