Disappeared for a few days for a good reason: we went for a quick road trip around Costa Brava and Occitanie!
In only five days we drove 1600 km and visited Tossa de Mar, Peratallada, Pals, Tamariu, Cadaquès, Besalù, Collioure, Narbonne, Lagrasse and Carcassonne. 💙⛵🏰
I took my illustrated journal with me and tried to draw and write about the trip while on location, which proved impossible, so now I have half the trip on the journal and the other half I'll get done this weekend. I'm pretty happy with my drawings, will definitely publish it for the world wide web to see and rejoice in my art.
Decided to leave all cameras at home and shoot only with the Xiaomi 15U. Told myself I would be super mindful about every frame and shoot like film. Instead, got all excited about the different lenses, found a leica filter I liked, and ended up with 750 photos (and Jaanus shot about the same on his phone), lol. Hopefully, Excire will make it easy to cull. We'll see!
Yesterday we watched The Mandalorian and Grogu at the movie theater. It was great, and in fact it would be impossible for me to not like it, as a Star Wars fan, a Mandalorian fan, a Grogu fan, so my o...

A two-weeks long week in the homestead. 🌱 This year I decided to not worry about vegetables and starting seeds in the garden; instead I was going to plant some hardy flowers and that's it. But basil i...

🏋️♀️ Went to the gym 3x this week! The hard part is getting myself to the gym (which is inside my own house! I don't even have that excuse of being too tired to go outside!), but once I am done I fee...

I have been trying to work on my illustrated journal since November last year. That's when I bought my little sketchbook and signed up for Danny Gregory's course. I thought Danny's course would be per...

Luna woke me up extra early today. We went out before the first rays of sunshine showed up. We saw five or six wild rabbits, a squirrel, a cat, millions of colorful wildflowers everywhere we looked. Love spring!

🎹 Played 5 days out of 7, for at least 30min a day! Currently working on an étude by Elena Gnyesina. The score suggests "moving" as a tempo and I can play it comfortably at 100bpm. But my teacher seem...

The pandemic changed many things, for a lot of people. Personally, I bought a treadmill. And I decided I would learn the piano on my own, no teachers, just me, a book, and my musical geniality (ahem!)...

I don't know why I didn't get one before? I love this thing. I have used it every single day since it entered my life, 14 days ago. 🔥 So far, the air fryer was used for: ikea plant balls, ikea vegetab...

One of those days I was desperate for a quick recipe that felt "meaty" without actually including any meat, and that I could make in 5 minutes to pour over homemade fresh pasta. I wanted Swedish peppa...
