eurovision and me

May 17, 2009 23:23

 caught the end of the eurovision finals  on tv just now. and norway won. and it reminded me of being in bergen with laurie and flora, and battling the snow and finding quaint cosy cafes up the hill in some random back lane, and the wonderful train ride with rolling hills and frozen lakes, snow on treetops and pure, untouched nature.

and hearing the winner give his thank you speech made me miss that heavily swedish-accented english, and being able to listen to people around me speaking swedish and picking up bits of words that i understand. (and although the winner was norwegian, i'm pretty sure he said something about tomorrow)

and because of all these, its opened up my little box of malmö memories. 
like warm milk and honey in the kitchen with bianca and laurie.
like nutella and crepes and lemon and sugar.
like "the terrible threes trip to norway"
like movies in laurie's room, huddled under blankets.
like cider (which i miss dearly) and poker and drunk fredrick.
like the excitement of planning and going away every month to some new and unexplored corner of the earth. 
like the cobbled streets of shopping and the shops tucked away in little corners.
like the christmas lights and light snow and going ice skating.
like our cosy underground cafe with awesome coffee, comfy seats and beautifully painted walls.
like the friendships and love and laughter that i left behind in that little red brick building called celciusgården.

at the end of the day, all you have is a little box of memories buried deep in the crevices of your heart and life goes on.
