Scary fairytales for grown-ups… Love Anette in this video, ter-ri-fic!

My Lazy Lunch

today. I did not even make the salad, bought one from K-Supermarket and just added a few cherry tomatoes. The pale pink nanotomato pieces that were in the salad originally did not have a taste.

The good news is that full fat milk is back in Finnish supermarkets. Okay, 4.4% is not yet FULL FAT milk but it’s 2% more than average, that does make a difference. In 10 years from now we might be drinking normal 6% milk, yahoo! I even dare forecast that milk consumption will grow rapidly. This does not only look like milk but it smells like milk, tastes like milk and has a thin layer of cream inside the package as regular natural milk would. Makes you want more. We drank 3 packs this weekend only. Outstanding.

When that fashion for low-fat prods goes away I will not have any regrets

A-la Provence or what it may be – new kitchen curtain

It’s so retro and so very village.

Farmhouse

Actually, there’s not much choice between styles when you try to cozy up a 1980s farmhouse kitchen. Metal or glass would have ruined the harmony here, with those wooden floors, wooden ceiling, rustical kitchen cupboards etc.

You either start from zero point by demolishing the whole kitchen and building it, say, in black and white and a bit of grey, rectangular shapes and other things modern – OR go with the flow and only bring in a few details to add to the original decoration. Which I’m doing.

However, a change of floors from wood to cork or stone is an option, really. I simply do not get the idea of having a wooden floor in the kitchen, especially close to the oven and sink. It loses face in a few years from moisture, grease, and heat. I mean, if anybody at all does cook in da house

Happiness, here and now

We’re living through the time of strain.

Too much noise, too much information, too many faces, too many rules and exclusions… by far. Nor even time to think which of this abundance you really need if any.

Sometimes it feels like the energy is going to cut off this very moment and the reality falls apart into pieces. Like a glass window. Yet, the inner source of power keeps running and it keeps you rolling.

A human never knows to which limit he can go to get himself really squeezed out & wasted And I will never get tired of testing it, woohoo!

However, it makes me happy just to realize that tomorrow this time I’ll be sitting with a glass of spirits (good girls do not say alcohol, right?) and listening to the Kilkennys. Being, hm, normal.

Today, I’m looking for a new crazy goal to follow. For me & my little family…

I’m Counting on You

Like a King Midas but a different kind: everything I touch turns into… vintage

Alisa’s first ever gala dress.

That’s a good one

And just think: I got this in an automatic mail message following a winning bid at Huuto.net – next to seller’s bank account number and all.

I’m bäck!
