Sweet peas look very pretty, but the best thing about them can’t be conveyed in a photo - they smell divine 😍

Looking down on a small bunch of sweet peas in a deep blue glazed vase. They are sitting on a light blue coaster on a wooden table. The flowers are in various shades of pink.

It rained today, all day, the shoots of green in the grass was a wondrous sight. Listened to Twin Peaks on vinyl. Made tzatziki, Greek meatballs, potatoes, and pitta breads. Scotland beat Engl*nd at the rugby. Later going to do a 90s song match-up.

A pretty great day to be honest. Grateful to the cosmos as always!

A new batch of postcards ready to enter the world. Using my latest fountain pen (a gloriously red Kaweco AL sport EF) to write happy messages.

A collection of postcards on a cork mat. Several tourist cards, a surreal image by Max Ernst, a red minimalistic card of a Norwegian landscape, a drawing of Norwegian tea kettles, and vintage cards of Sonja Henie and Jimi Hendrix. To the right a red metal Kaweco fountain pen.

Visiting fibre art shop Spødet in Stavanger and I couldn't help myself. I guess embroidery is going to be my focus hobby this spring.

Mike & Ikes Don’t Care About Your Trends

Daily writing promptWhat's your favorite candy?View all responses I don’t have a favorite candy because I’m quirky or nostalgic or trying to reclaim joy. I have a favorite candy because most candy went off the rails somewhere around 1998 and never came back. The answer is original flavor Mike & Ikes. Not sour. Not tropical. Not “berry blast apocalypse.” Original. The way it was meant to be before everything needed a reboot and a gimmick. Mike & Ikes are honest. They don’t pretend […]

From the garden: first capsicums, perfect for stewing with celery, tomatoes and basil. And two small cucumbers for sides. Love my cucumber spiralizer 😊

Ah, and Alpine strawberries for dessert!

In Oslo this weekend to visit my daughter. Saying hello to one of the cats of her room mate. He likes to play fetch with his little albatross.

The story of a rose.

It was in a bouquet. When the petals fell I cut the head off and put the stem in a pot in the garden. Kind of forgot about it. I don’t know anything about growing roses, I didn’t do anything special… it took! And now I have a beautiful single stem rose. #Feelinghappy 😊
