Early

soundtrack: detektivbyrån (at Flow festival this weekend, I am also going to see Ane Brun!!)

A couple of rainy days now, a distinct feeling of Autumn. This Summer felt endless, yet where did it go? I spent a lot of time with family, picked some blueberries, got mosquito bitten, read a lot of books and tried to adjust to this new gluten free life of mine. I try to look for blessings in every difficulty I encounter, so I wonder if this might be the best thing that ever happened to me, because it’s teaching me about being more clear and assertive, taking my space and standing my ground instead of just pleasing everyone endlessly. There is no maybe or just a little bit with celiac, you know.

Right now I am excited about:
- my friend moving to Finland (and me maybe being able to rent her flat in the Hague for the spring, oh what a relief that would be).
- paring down my possessions (good to start early, I need to pack most of my stuff away for spring because there will be renovations while I am gone). It is good to have less stuff.

    Maria, wish you could have come to flow too… but have fun at the wedding!

    Hope it isn’t too cold with autumny weather though, I was freezing at last years flow and it was so much warmer then.

    Silvia: But red pumps are good for the soul (I got some from Berlin last year).
