i’ve been out of the loop for more than a week. don’t know what happened. from today and almost a week ahead i’m on easter holiday - feels great!

pictures from my grandmother’s kitchen and from at home. i got the red spring branches from her garden.

thanks for all your comments lately! i really appreciate it. and i’m glad to know i’m not the only pancake fanatic out there : ) ops just realized i’m posting a lot of red photos these days.

happy easter folks!

if only i could eat pancakes every day…

the first photo is of a parking space tag of some sort (seen in oslo). second photo is of the last two remaining pancakes from the pile of pancakes i made this sunday. oh well, two pancakes on a monday isn’t half bad. : )

i really enjoyed NE’s chess tournament photos yesterday. as several of you noted their concentration is almost palpable - thanks for sharing NE!

i hope you’ve had a good start to the week!

today NE is guest blogging

First thanks to Lea for letting me be the guest blogger today. The pictures above were taken at a chess tournament I attended yesterday. My team lost 7-1 but I managed to win my game. I know you’re all anxious to know how it went so here we go: 1. e2-e4, e7-e5 2. d2-d4, exd4 3. d2-d3, exd3 4. Nxd3, Nd6…

the last oslo photos that is. time to exercise my camera again soon. it has been a busy week and now after spending several hours cleaning (much needed) i enjoy a good cup of coffee and some blogosphere catching up.

happy weekend everyone!

more oslo - pictures from the slightly greyer afternoon. i really like their housing style!

i have so many photos from oslo - here are just a few. we started out with the most spectacular sunshine saturday morning. it was almost too bright to take pictures, but oh so lovely! overcast photos from our saturday afternoon to come tomorrow.

i have been on a ferryboat trip this weekend to oslo. it was a gift from NE and such a great trip. thanks for all your sweet comments about my sunny kitchen photos!

i’ll be back tomorrow with more photos from the trip.

afternoon light in my kitchen, the current state of my knitting and a dark blue and white patterned shirt i bought in a thrift store today.

i took this photo in berlin last summer. i found it while looking for something else in a folder. i really like the face of the building - and i feel like going to berlin…

the weekend is here and i’m enjoying it as much as possible. the weather has been very spring like the past few days. it feels so good to finally feel the warmth of the sun and to see the beautiful light. i hope your weekend is equally sunny!
