The other day I got to go to the zoo with my job. Isn't that the definition of a really good job!?
I was looking forward to seeing the racoons as they are my favourites but apparently they were shy today and only showed me their backside. (Not like last time I was there when they were all over the place) I was a bit dissapointed about that but I got to see lots of other amazing animals so I was happy anyway.

The savanna is the most beautiful part of the zoo in my opinion. It's so amazing to see all the different animals together like that. And they seem so happy. I hope they are!

Spot the bears!

Flamingos!

This is such a gorgeous animal! Love how the stripes of the antilope are so sharp and bright.

My favourites of the day must have been these monkeys sitting in a line cuddling. If you look closely you can actually see a tiny arm in the middle that doesn't seem to belong to anyone. It's a baby squeezed betweeen the two larger ones! My heart almost melted and I could have stood there looking at them for hours, I think.

If you want to you can check out my tag for the zoo Borås Djurpark to see more pictures from my last visit there. My favourite is the post with the Monkey and the baby human. It always cracks me up.

So these days has been quite slow. I've been working at my "real" job and not really having any strength to get going on my own business. I guess it's the summer vacation feel that won't really leave my body.
As I'm slowly getting in to everyday routines again I look at all the photos I took with my phone during my week at Österlen and feel all warm inside.
Have a look with me:

A boat in a pond. Does it get more idyllic?

Hello. Yours truly in a hen house.

I had dinner with Astor the cat. He's got fierce eyes, hasn't he.

They have opened a Crêperie in the little village of Rörum where we live and we of course had to go check it out.

You can see for yourself how tasty it was. Omnomnom.

I had to bring David there when he came to Rörum. Like Astor the cat this dinner date has some fierce eyes...

Hello again, from behind a coffee cup.

Coffee with lots of milk. The only real way to drink coffee, you know.

One day I found wild strawberries, or Smultron as we call them in Sweden. They went straight in to my mouth half a second after this photo was snapped.

Rye in hand (I did not eat this, I promise).

It was very foggy for a few days. This is a parkway in Simrishamn called Suckarnas gång (Aisle of sighs) leading the way to the cemetary. This is also the place for the enormous weekly fleamarket.

I love fog but it gives me head aches. I hate how something as beautiful as this is bad for me. Humidity and I are not best friends, though I sure wish we could be.

Have I told you Österlen is amazing? Österlen is amazing.

Proof of the amazingness of Österlen: We found kittens!

Look at that face!

"Please, please, please can I keep it? I don't have to be allergic..."

You must already know that I'm drawn to capturing stilleben with my camera. This is one of my favourites from the trip.

On our last day it rained almost not stop.

And then in the evening it was that fog again, rolling over the hills.

Did I tell you that I miss this place?

So I went to a hairdresser the other day. It was maybe one and a half years since last time. About time, so to speak.
For me this is a big change but nobody really seems to notice that I've cut off 25 cm of my hair.
Well, it doesn't feel like I have steel wool instead of hair anymore anyway...

Running (well, still mostly walking but it's getting better) through the churchyard Östra kyrkogården in beautiful evening light.

Writing on a new screenplay with David and really loving the story we've come up with.

Eating enormous piles of watermelon.

Walking past the indian restaurant in our neighbourhood with the sweetest misspelled renovation sign.

My new lipbalm with the smell of unicorn farts. Bought it from Long winter soap on etsy and love it!
