bracke gave me a small paper bag full of saffron bulbs! Anyone who knows me IRL might know the significance of saffron for me ( Read more... )

nazgman was in the country over the weekend, so wonder of wonders, our little Austen-LARP gang managed to gather on short notice at Esmeralda's place on Sunday to drink tea and dance for three hours. We quickly danced through the three "official" dances for the LARP (Mr. Beveridge's Maggot, The Hole in the Wall, Upon a Summer's Day) and then refreshed our ( Read more... )

Gosh! I biked over to the Nova area where all the big superstores are, and came rolling down the slope to the underpass under the road. Too fast to brake -- and ended up in a vast puddle under the road bridge that was at least 20-25 cm deep and many metres long. Enough to get my shoes soaked even though I tried to carry on pedalling through. Some ( Read more... )

It's been impossible to either post or comment on LJ for the past few days, so I have no idea whether this will show up there or not.

Anyway, sneprinsesse has emailed me to say that she and solbirger will be visiting København over the weekend, and asked if I wanted to tag along to Brede Værk on Sunday. I've already been there, but I don't mind seeing it again, ( Read more... )

When I arrived in Gbg yesterday and made my way to frualeydis's home, I found out about the terrible thing in Norway, which had happened while I was on the train. It seems so unreal, nothing on this scale has happened in Scandinavia since the second world war. When I got to Gil-galad and Fimbrethil we looked at the news footage and were just dumbstruck by ( Read more... )

Friday: Went to Sjöbo for the big country fair, with bracke, nazgman and the Seamstress. It's a huge country fair and it took us around six or seven hours to walk through it all. I got myself a mandoline vegetable slicer and a beautiful Tibetan (purported) yak wool shawl (although I haven't yet tested the fibre). Also a mother-of-pearl necklace in the shape of ( Read more... )

Yesterday acropetal and myself went to Malmö to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Afterward (since we went to an early showing) we went to an Indian reaturant that she knew of and had scrumptious food. All in all it was a very nice day. We had to go to Malmö since the cinema in Lund isn't showing the 2D version. (It's actually not showing ( Read more... )

A call-out to all the Tolkien fans on my flist: pnr has just started making some really pretty LotR themed necklaces, that she is actually selling. Check them out! (She also has an Etsy shop.)

I actually felt pretty OK yesterday. I think part of it was that my home feels a lot more cosy now that Rosa lives here. I took it pretty easy, washed my hair, combed the cat, hoovered, cleared the kitchen table and put a nice tablecloth on it, and then made some yule-y food. I made rödkål (a red cabbage side dish) for the first time ever ( ( Read more... )
