Yesterday I peeled a gazillion apples and the last one I peeled was extra special because I peeled the entire apple in one go.
Here's a little picture series showing the pride and joy of my accomplishment and the complete and utter disappointment when the peel string broke.
Today it's sunday for most people. For me it's more like a monday since I'm off to work soon. Even the weather is grey and monday gloomy. Not that all mondays are rainy, that would just be too sad.
Two months ago it was summer still but only for a few more days.
Two months ago I wore a green dress and you had a vest that made you look incredibly dapper.
Two months ago we hung pocket watches around eachother's necks and told everybody that we belong together forever.
Two months ago was our wedding day and since then I've been learning to call you my husband instead of boyfriend. I practice every morning: Good morning husband, I say. And you smile and say "Good morning wifey".
We've been eachother's for almost seven years so our lives together have not changed much just because we are married but those words: Husband and wife. Man och Hustru. Make och fru. They still make me giggle.
At work when I tell a new colleague about you and refer to you as my husband it's super hard not to smile with my entire face and look like a total lunatic.
Actually, I think I fail every time. And that's more than okay.
Today we've been married for two months and I just wanted to take this moment to think about that and giggle and smile like a lunatic.

Pictures from our little honeymoon the days after the wedding. We bought a new camera, went to the beach and set the camera timer to click away.
And here's a gif to make everything even more cute:

Hi hi!
We are home in Gothenburg again and it's starting to feel really good after, hm, five or so hours. I always feel sad when I leave Österlen but the long drive home is a good way to make me long for our apartment.
And now we know how it feels to be married in Gothenburg too!
It's really great to be back home again actually and the autumn air is definitely breezing in right as we speak, and that is a GOOD thing. Gosh, I love autumn. I feel so energized!

Well, this was a lot of babbling for what was supposed to be a non babbling post.
Here's a Two Two Two for you:

Two dramatic skies:
One that comes with angel choir sound and one that looks rather sinister over "our" tree.
Two date nights with David:
One from a few days before we got married and one from our little honeymoon a few days after we got married.
Two of me:
One under our tree wearing a vintage skirt, my wedding pocket watch and a jacket i bought really cheap at T.K Max in Glasgow and one balancing on wobbly stones wearing my latest thrift find, the over sized cardigan.

And here's another little text in swedish. About autumn arriving.

Har morgonkaffet i handen när jag ser höstens första solstrålar genom fönsterrutan och jag drabbas av en kombination av lycka och innerlig längtan.
För sådan är lyckan; en enorm längtan som tar upp all plats i bröstet.
Längtansmålet, det väntansvärda, är fyllt av saker jag vill mest av allt, sådant jag hoppas på, det jag önskar.
Känslor så starkt sammanflätade att de inte riktigt går att skilja åt. Och varför ens försöka?
Duschar och tänker att jag är så lycklig nu. Just nu är jag så obeskrivligt lycklig. Det har med här:et och nu:et att göra, tänker jag.
Min man som tvättar håret bredvid mig och höstsolen som letat sig in bakom duschdraperiet.
Doften av löv som ännu inte nuddat marken tränger genom kvisthålen i taket, lugnet i luften som inte hunnit få upp farten igen efter sommaren.
Höstens första solstrålar drabbade mig idag och inget så trivialt som husväggar kan hålla ljuset borta.

You can read it google translated here. It works quite nicely today, if somewhat twisted in time and space.

Tjingeling for now!

We're having the laziest, loveliest honeymoon ever. Doing nothing but lovely things and calling eachother husband and wife in as many ways as our launguage skills make possible.
Like every time we are here I get the urge to write so I've been doing a bit of that too. Writing comes in waves for me. For quite a long time I've been writing less and taking photos more. That's just how it is and I need to do what I am passionate about whatever it happens to be in that moment.
But lately I've been longing to write so I'm trying to embrace that now.

Here's a little text I wrote about our honeymoon picnic by the beach the other day. It's in swedish but google translate made quite a good work of parts of it, if just a bit surreal. (apparently it doesn't know about whiny thermoses, egg sandwiches and sun warmed forts.)


Vi är de enda där. På ett stenfort vid en strand intill ett hav.
Stekt äggmackorna är uppätna och kaffet är uppdrucket. Vi lägger min cape över oss som en filt, och tittar upp mot himlen som känns ännu mer välvd än vanligt.
En kupol, säger du och jag håller med. En kupol som omsluter oss. Kaffetermosen gnäller nån meter bakom våra huvuden, syrsorna spelar i nyponbuskarna runt omkring.
Vi är nygifta; färsk make och hustru, inte ens en vecka gamla, och detta är vår smekmånad.
Vi ser kvällens första stjärna på himlen som börjar röra på sig och förmodligen inte alls är någon stjärna.
Det är nog en rymdsatellit, säger du, och jag visste inte ens att man kunde se sådana från jorden.
Där ligger vi, under en cape från 1976, på ett ännu solvarmt fort i skymningen och håller varann i händerna.
"Använder man fortfarande väderballonger?" frågar du.
Jag vet inte, men vi funderar lite över det.
Vi ligger och tittar på himlen tills stjärnorna kommer fram på riktigt och det blir kallt ända in under capen.
