I hate to make a post with no pictures and no news really, but it was just a pretty pleasant day here today. Here are the things I liked about today in list format:
1. I went for a jogging, at seven! Seeing the morning sun coming through the trees was actually enough to distract me from how much I hate sports that don't take place underwater.
2. I had a REAL coffee, made with freshly ground locally roasted beans, courtesy of my Hungarian next door neighbor Andrew.
3. Our textiles teacher Lene decided that we should take a walk to enjoy the strong sunshine and so us textiles people spent the morning (up until the coffee break) walking through down and then sledding down a hill on little plastic discs.
4. I ate an avocado.
5. I washed my hair!!!
6. We have afternoons free every Wednesday, so I went with a couple people to the church thrift store in town which is only open from 2 to 5 on Wed. Thurs. and Fri. and I finally found on old bed sheet the right color and weight to finish my first project with. I also bought a vintage looking bright red day dress in a soft kind of fuzzy but not as fuzzy as swede fabric.
7. One of the towns people who was eating dinner with us as a part of our community meal thing on wednesday nights complimented me on my hat with bear ears.
8. I watched the movie "Seven Pounds" starring Will Smith, and it was kind of sad, and then listened to some music, including a silly techno song version of a traditional Finnish polka, and a band called the Panics that I liked, and then part of a live show of George Carlin. Also I ate part of a Toblerone bar.
9. On my way to my house I ran into the British student, Lee, who was preparing for a presentation on his hometown of Brighton. He showed me some pictures of the Starlings gathering in a big flock/swarm at dusk to spend the night under the pier, and also video of the annual Brighton pride parade and festival which they are famous for. Brighton was also apparently the site of one/several? huge clashes between Mods and Rockers back in the day. Which reminds me, Lee told me to watch a good movie about that which I can't remember the name of but it started with a Q.
10. and, tomorrow morning I will do some yoga with Marta and actually get up in time for breakfast again.
What a good day.

The useless wanderings of one mind in several locations.
Did the jogging plan work?
ReplyDeletebonzer day Brita, did you say thanks in Danish to the Bear ear hat admirerer? Dad
ReplyDeleteDid you get up in time to do yoga and eat breakfast? One of my goals is to get up in time to ride my bike to work (sort of frequently) this biking season.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that you've learned how to spin yarn on a spinning wheel, and that you're going to knit something for yourself out of yarn you spun! I'm so jealous! I've thought about taking up spinning, and I'm pretty sure I'd really enjoy doing it, but it would cut into my knitting time and produce more yarn, which could create a problem :-)
Love,
