global warming...

This abandoned rose on my balcony, in full bloom, at Christmas time... (in Sweden). Entirely without care, it passed the vinter so far ....... global warming (?)

Absolut

A hotel in the form of a 60 meter high Absolut bottle. Does that sound like a ''crazy American dream''? Soon the hotel will be ready in Åhus, Skåne. Åhus - "The Home of Absolute" - may soon have a new building to be proud of. In a twelve floors giant bottle, with the same dimensions as Absolut Vodka, containing 60 rooms and space for vodka bars and restaurants.

rights and freedoms

Human rights are basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. Examples of rights and freedoms which have come to be commonly thought of as human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law, and economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education. 

homemade

Today I baked bread. An old family recipe, with plenty of rye flour, cracked rye kernels, syrup, buttermilk, and as usual it tasted wonderful. Will bring to the shop tomorrow, for my coworkers.

stormy weather

So, it's here again, the usual autumn storms. Trees falling, the bridge between Sweden and Denmark closed, accidents, etc. I was out in the storm, the cold rain lashed from the side, umbrella is impossible. Such weather should be banned ....but I'm happy to have a warm, cosy home.

Once Online, Always Online

It is important to be aware that once you put a photo online, it is always online. Robots categorize and record every piece of activity that goes on within the realm of the Internet on a daily (even hourly) basis. Therefore, once you upload a photo, it will become cataloged in the Internet archives.  Years down the road, these photos will still be available online through Internet archives. Therefore, it is important only to upload tasteful photos that you would be proud to share with future generations. 

Venice Beach

Today my daughter sent pictures from Venice Beach, LA, where she is visiting her sister. Different but beautiful images.

Lady GaGa

my daughter Victoria

My daughter thinks it's as fun as I think, to dress up. These images were taken in L.A. halloween. As Lady GaGa she really succeeded.

Goose

Today we had goose at Östarps Gästis, a tradition in my part of Sweden. Always nice. For dessert, apple cake with vanilla sauce. Coffee and chocolate cake at my parents house, so now it's diet untill Christmas, I hope ......
