Everything has its ups and downs and I got a message from a friend asking how deep my dip actually is. My blog has been quite pessimistic lately without me even noticing it. Well, I am neither suicidal nor desperate but maybe I have been a bit self-centered lately and that shall now change. I guess the winter months here were a bit tougher then I expected but luckily I was the only one caught by this virus. Jochem and the kids are enjoying life fully by skiing, playing football, going horseback riding or taking part in whisky tasting events (you have to guess who does what!)
I am enjoying my work and am trying to structure it better in order to be better at evaluating results as they come in. As I constantly work on different projects I need to know where they are going and how successful they are. The financial situation in the municipality and in the world puts more pressure on people but I also see advantages when new ideas might get more room and changes are seen as possibilities.
Today the sun was shining and spring was in the air. It is no longer possible to drive on the lake and birds are singing in the still naked trees. I feel inspired by the light and soon we will start our next renovation project – the summerhouse in Vegby (15 minutes south of Ulricehamn). I am filling it with auction furniture (a new hobby I’ve developed!) and funny gadgets. I tried to get a moose head at the last auction but it was a bit too expensive. Instead I came home with an old typewriter, some chairs, a bed, a drawer and some sun chairs. Our summerhouse will look great when its finished though the road to completion lies further ahead then we want to admit. Last weekend the radiator in the kitchen exploded due to expanding ice but we wont give up. We still bravely invite you and hope for visits this summer!
Lots of sunny kisses to you all!!!
