things I like lately

winter weekend brunch | Agfa Precisa 100, Canon EOS 500N

- Sunday brunch at our friends' place - Sara absolutely loves playing with our friends' kids

- homemade apple muffins - with the last batch of (frozen) apples from our garden 

- kale salad with tahini dressing looks yummy (via Susannah)

- matosofi - were I found out what to do with the pork hock I spontaneously bought at the grocery store

- no cavities (I thought I had one) at my annual dentist visit

- two classic pairs of new shoes - I have big feet, so I have a hard time finding shoes that fit well

- the first crocus and coltsfoot of the season - even though it still is a bit too early

- blå Farris (sparkling water)

- two new to me lovely blogs: sulvis and et dryss kanel

- washing Sara's hair and there were badly any tears - for a change!

- chocolate ice cream

- homemade chocolate mousse 

- a little interview with author Caroline Kaspara Palonen

- the hand-me-down Bitte Kai Rand coat from my mum

- sending mail, the old fashioned way

- the photos in this post by Jana

- breakfast lunch dinner by Bleubird

- Muzungu Style - I was at Svalbard (for work) with this lady back in 2008 - she's great fun!

- productive work days after too much procrastination 

- the best - and longest - run in months

- being inspired by Ine (via Instagram) to wear red lipstick 

- a sweet and juicy orange 

- planning to bake Ina's sweet buns with Sara tomorrow 

- planning to paint my nails red tonight whilst drinking white wine 

- wearing the white Filippa K silk blouse I got from my sister Mari for Christmas for the first time - it makes me feel elegant (but I'm also worried I will spill something on it)

- Ingvild is making a bunad for her sweet daughter - so impressed! 

- the news about the birth of our friends' daughter - she was born today!

things I don't like lately

- a lot of mixed feeling about a possible huge change 

- emotional eating

- procrastinating - it makes me stressed and in a bad mood

- giving Sara eyedrops for her conjunctivitis - she really, really hates it

Answers to questions in comments:

A few of you asked about the book in the photo taken at 7 pm in this post. The book is "What Do People Do All Day?" (Hva gjør folk held dagen, in Norwegian) by Richard Scarry.
