I've been down this road
Walking the line that's painted by pride
And i have made mistakes in my life that i just can't hide.
But I believe I'm ready
for what love has to bring
I've got myself together
Now i'm ready to sing.
I've been searching my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
to find my way back home.

Bored?
Det här med att vara sjuk är riktigt tråkigt! Att det neverending vilandes gör att jag vänt helt på dygnet gör inte saken bättre. Men idag fick jag iaf träffa
Mary och Mami i små sejourer. En väldigt välkommen liten rast från allt vilande. Dessutom har jag rensat bland mina saker o lagt i olika högar (also called rensning no 2). Som sällskap har jag inga mindre än Ally McBeal o John Cage. Inte så illa trots allt att vara ensam, inte när man kan sätta sig på min lilla balkong och lyssna på fontänen å fågelkvitter.
Not too bad at all.

Midsummer's
What a Midsummer, huh? I think it was the first time I went sailing on this holiday, unless I did it as a child (in which case I don't remember it). In the beginning I was nervous of falling in the ocean, but after a while I got accustomed to climbing around the boat and I really enjoyed it
I think it's important who you celebrate Midsummer's with. For me that means surrounding yourself with people you care about! The past few years I have celebrated with friends from all over the world. This year I celebrated with Swedes, Brazilians, an American and an Austrian it was quite the experience!! Really. Haha.
Thinking back on last year's Midsummer's, things were totally different. Last year I spent Midsummer's in NYC. First at the annual Swedish celebration in Battery Park and then to numerous clubs with the girls and trips to Brooklyn for Russian partys with my French party ppl only to end up in Meatpacking again for some more club hopping. It was a crazy Midsummer's.
This one unfortunately brought with it some sickness on my part which had me turn in early, but if I could go back and change something I wouldn't have missed this Midsummer's for anything! Some things are just that good!

Däremot va det riktigt svårt att säga hejdå till O å M igårkväll! Hur förklarar man att man inte kommer tillbaka på väldigt väldigt länge för barn?
Efter det jobbiga hejdåsägandet träffades vi med gamla MTB på Josefinas o hade en trevlig kväll trots regnovädret.

Lonely boy and young mr Bass
Eftersom det är dags för världsrekord imorgonbitti fick det blev en relativt tidig kväll, men jag är så excited för imorgon (trots att jag måste gå upp 4 på en lörd!) så det gjorde faktiskt inte så mycket!
Näe nu ska jag försöka sova. Eller iaf gå o lägga mig. Det blir en tuff dag imorgon!

Sol i sinne, brun inne?
Något lite roligare är att en av mina italienare hörde av sig o ev kan hjälpa Mathilda hitta en lägenhet för hösten i Milano. Ibland är det bra att hålla kontakten med alla man träffat på under åren ;)
Jaja, det är väl lika bra att jag försöker fortsätta läsa i de här nedrans böckerna så man blir klar nångång.. Kanske kan ta en paus senare o gå ut å träffa Blankie. Eller åtminstone få läsa vidare i Shantaram.. Det vore nåt det!
