On a grey February Sunday

Valentine's Day is a day when the fairytale version of love is celebrated. Therefor, a poem that tells you what to do when you're stuck in a fairytale seems suitable:



The wisdom of Neil Gaiman seems indefinite.

Good luck!

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 present on Halloween

Today is Halloween. I got an early Christmas present today, too, and I am so happy about it!

In December I'm going to see Eddie Izzard Stripped in Malmö together with somebody I love so much.

Thank you sweet wonderful young man!

Winterson, Atwood and Woolf

In my mind there's a strong associative link between Jeanette Winterson, Margaret Atwood and Virginia Woolf. I can't really put my finger on it, yet, but I think it's something I'll talk more about once I've had time to sit down and think about it for a bit.

Meanwhile I'll just settle for recommending you to read some of their works, they're all really great writers.

Is he dying?

I hear rumours that the great nobel savage, the impressive, the strong and mighty and seemingly unstoppable Zakk Wylde is dying, and it breaks my heart. His kids are so young, and his wife - oh she's such a sweetheart and they seem so happy together!

I hope it's just rumours!

Cute as a button!

We were watching Swedish Idol tonight, and the first contestant stole our hearts! Did you ever see such a cute artist? Durna will get my vote, every week, if she goes all the way.

And if she doesn't, guess who'll not be voting even once?

That's how cute she is!

Missing

I have told you before about how great a teacher Robert Archambeau is, haven't I? He gives us a tiny sample of his enthusiasm and huge knowledge in his his blog post Intention & Accident, Authenticity & Artifice and I thank him for this boost of inspiration only a few days before the students arrive and return to Hvilan.
