Turning clocks to summertime, cooking new foods, it feels like a real spring when there is sun. Today is a gray day, the kind you want to spend on a sofa wrapped into a blanket, and a third day of mysterious searing joint pain. Or not so mysterious, perhaps. But today there were also the best pancakes of my life, lots of coffee and magazines.

On most other days I’ve been feeling well. And not just well, but better than ever in my life. Dreaming vivid dreams in the night. Feeling awake before my morning coffee. No fighting off sleep after every meal. A couple of days ago I laughed so hard my stomach hurt (in a good way), tears streaming down my face, because I just couldn’t stop laughing once I got started. I think it’s been years since I laughed like that. I hope there is more where that came from.

Enough is enough.
I couldn’t agree more.

Happy Easter! I am off to a week long holiday, visiting family, and boy do I need it… just to sleep really late, read a lot and eat some chocolate. Oh, and perfect my tofu cheesecake recipe.

Lately I’ve been into cooking:
gluten free day
have cake, will travel

Visiting Porvoo made me wonder whether I’d like to move back to a small town some day. It was so quiet, and dark, but still felt like home after almost ten years. I love giant cities where each district has it’s own feel, like Berlin, but it can’t be a coincidence my old hometown and my favourite spot in the world (for now at least) share some characteristics. Crooked streets, old wonky buildings and the possibility of getting everywhere by bike.

P.S. I’ve been working on my portfolio a bit. I like the super bare look for now.

Drawn to bright colours. I need the energy.
Later today: going to my old hometown Porvoo to take photos and see my cousins’ gig.
