When I’m sick and am feeling kinda bad over being broken he comes home and makes me blueberry pancakes with a smiley face on them. Because he is the best.
I would be lost and starving without him. ❤

The great tiredness
I napped for almost an hour earlier and I slept almost nine hours last night and still I am ready to head for bed and it’s only 9 pm. I might have been in serious deficit on my sleep account.
Dear grandmother managed to fall and hurt her wrist and ribs after getting here, usually not a huge problem except she only has one leg and uses crutches to get around. So she wasn’t really up to navigating the metro so I drove her and the others around today, did more city driving than I’ve done before and it went splendidly. Even managed to parallel park on the first try!
After being so social for two days I am staying home tomorrow and doing some much needed house work. And some fun things, like planting chilli-seeds and maybe doing some knitting!
Disappointing news and a family evening
So there will be no babies this month either. That sucks.
Spending time with family is good and needed. That does not suck.
Discussing politics with family is complicated. And does mostly suck.
But tomorrow there will be yarn petting and Italian food. That does definitely not suck.
Wine is pretty good too.
Happy Birthday grandma!
Today was my Friday and the reason for that is that today is also my paternal grandmothers 80th birthday, I am taking tomorrow off to be able to get her and my dad from the airport and deliver them to town. Later we are all having dinner at my sisters. This is something that happens very rarely, me and my siblings live down here and dad and grandma up north. Also we are a family of introverted homebodies who do love each other dearly but can’t seem to get around to meeting that often. It works for us.
So, looking forward to this weekend!
New polish!
Tested one one my latest buys, Pretty and Polished April showers. I’m not sure how visible it is on my short nails but this polish is termal and reacts much like a mood ring, it from the temperature of my fingers. I think it’s very pretty in any case!
#blogg100 Themed Tuesday – Haunted Houses
Nowadays I am a pretty pragmatic person, I believe mostly in what I see and have a healthy does of scepticism versus the supernatural but that doesn’t mean it can’t scare me shitless! This weeks theme for the themed Thursday is haunted houses and it made me think of one of the few horror movies that actually scared me for real. And it wasn’t even in color.
I happened on this movie from 1959 late one night and just couldn’t turn it off. It uses very fem special effects, mostly just sounds but I still remember the creeping fear it instilled in me. The fear that stuck around a good long while after. The haunted house troupe is still my favourite scary movie troupe. Other good examples of it are The Others and The Orphanage.
Energy = low
This was me, most of the afternoon today. So that’s why this is all I am gonna blog today.
A photo an hour
I almost forgot but in the end I went for it anyway, one photo an hour from 10 am to 10 pm, -ish. You can see it all with my little comments too over on Instagram (link in the sidebar, but here is a nifty little overview:
Glitterball spaceships and pizza
Today was the day Sweden picked their contestant for the Eurovision Song Contest, there’s been qualifications on the last five Saturdays where the ten finalist were chosen and tonight it was decided. Now, usually I don’t listen to the kind of music that features in this competition but still it’s something I watch each year, I read up on the contestants and speculate wildly all the way through. It’s all in good fun!
This year I invited a bunch of people to watch with me but sadly all but one couldn’t make it. It was really no worry through as I still discussed the competition over Skype, WhatsApp and imessage with three different people. I couldn’t keep up with twitter at the same time so ‘dreas just read me tidbits. It wasn’t as good as having your friends there for it but it was still awesome. And we didn’t have to share the pizza!
As for the results, well, it was very close, I like that, but the fact that the winner plays fast and loose with the English language makes me wish Ace Wilder had won over Sanna instead of the other way around. Alcazars glittery discoball spaceship thing would have done well in Europe though, and it was by far the best show.
Tomorrow I am heading into town to meet my mother and sister. I might do an improvised One Photo An Hour just because it’s been a while since I did and it seems like a day with enough different things that it will be at least remotely interesting!
Sunny nails!
This is how you do sunny nails if you are of the slightly gothic persuasion.
That is, with the bleak sunrise reflecting in your dark dark polish! Suitably enough the polish is from A England’s collection Gothic Ladies, this is Ophelia and while it looks black up there there’s actually tiny purple glitter in it. I almost got it to show up in this picture:
I love the light in the bathroom at work, it also allows me to take selfies like this one!
