Yes, I know. I look angry when I'm focused.
I've been writing almost the entire day. I really love to write.
I haven't done that like this for ages. You know, I write in my diary every day, I blog and David and I have been writing screenplays but it's been a while since I wrote like this. I have a few different projects going at the same time. A novella of sorts, a couple of screenplays, some random ideas that I don't really know what they will turn into.
I love how my brain gets switched on and all kinds of ideas pop up. I'm writing down stuff in my phone all the time, things I don't want to forget. And it feels like I'm having more dreams at night too. Some of that could be because of this house as well. The calmness and the feeling that there's so much time here to think of new things.
I hope I can carry this feeling with me into the future because I really do have a lot of great ideas.
Today is David's birthday! Hooray!
It turned out really lovely but not at all as we had planned.
Breakfast first.
It was starting to snow really really much.
We wanted to book a table for tonight at a nice restaurant in Simrishamn but when we called they said that the only restaurant in Simrishamn that is open on mondays during winter time is a hotel.
Hm. Not what we wanted.
So we decided on cooking mussels instead and drove in to town in a blizzard.
When we got there they told us No, no mussels on mondays.
Okay, then.
New plan. Fish soup!
When we came back to the house we got a call from the people owning the place where we're going to get married later this year.
They wanted to have a chat and we went out again in what now was a snow storm.
We walked past some beautiful scenery.
We had a nice little meeting and set the date for our wedding. Woop woop.
On our way back it was hard to walk straight in the cold wind.
With all the snow flying around the world look almost like it was sketched by an artist.
David looked ruggedly handsome in a fine layer of snow.
(Look at those amazingly blue eyes! Swooooon!)
When we came back inside we decided that we're not walking outside any more today. I took the opportunity to fall asleep on the couch.
Then it was time to start with the cooking. I was head chef and together we made a fish soup with lots of white wine, cream and fresh thyme.
Dinner served!
And that was this day.
It's so quiet here now. No traffic, no people. It's all dark and wintery outside but inside we have candles and tea.
And it's finally stopped snowing.
Today we went to the beach right before sunset to take some photos. I've been longing to see the ocean all wintery and cold. Love how different it looks from summer time.
It really was freezing today and we walked along the beach for quite some time. I was taking lots of photos of the beautiful surroundings and saying things like Ooooh, look! and Aaaah, the colours are amazing!
I almost screamed with joy when I saw this icicle tree! So beautiful!
Spying on David while he's recording the sounds of the ice cold ocean sweeping in.
It was weird to walk on completely smooth and hard sand. Not a single footprint left behind.
I love how everything was covered in a layer of ice. It looked almost pre historic. Or like I imagine it would look like, anyway.
The rest of the evening will be spent writing stuff, drinking tea and getting warm under some blankets.
Certainly one of my favourite kind of evenings.

I woke up to this today with a lingering dream in my mind.
I dreamt that I was in New York and it was new years eve. I was running around town with a bunch of friends and we were having a really great time. One of us found an open door on the side of a really tall building. We ran up all the stairs and when we were on the roof with the entire city below us everybody was laughing and screaming and breathing hard from having to climb all those stairs.

All of a sudden it started to snow. We turned our heads towards the sky and saw snowflakes slowly floating down. Every single snowflake was captured in a bubble, you know like those soap bubbles you used to play with as a kid.
It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
We stretched our hands towards the sky so we could pop the bubbles with our fingers and feel the snowflakes melt in our hands.
I stood there, smiling and almost forgetting to breathe, when I realised I had to take a photo of this amazing moment. All around me my friends tried to do the same. We were laughing and giggling and pointing our phones up in the air and saying to ourselves that this must be some phenomenon, this is magic, this is a once in a life time experience.

And just like that the bubble snow stopped falling.
It was over, but the feeling of having experienced something truly magical didn't go away. Not even when I woke up.
