skägglav

As we were walking yesterday my husband told me that 

if the trees have a lot of "skägglav" growing on them

it means that the air is very good in that area, 

so if the skägglav begin to grow on you 

it means you live in a good environment!

just cant wait until i get my own "skägglav"

(I dont know the name in english but its a form of moss that grows on trees 

and in swedish its called like "beard moss")

Moss

I went out walking and found some nice moss

Glad Påsk

Easter is closing in on us now,

so i made this easter-drawing.

I just wish it could get a tiny bit warmer,

the winter is a stubborn bastard this year!

10 years

This spring its been 10 years 

10 years since we met on that bus stop 

and started to talk to each other 

its odd how time flies by fast

 I still love you like crazy!

Norway Tour 13/3-16/3

Hurray!

we are finally back home for good (or for at least 3 weeks...)

the last trip went to Norway in a Night liner

together with the crew of Stein Torleif Bjella

we went to 5 cities in Norway

This was our first night-liner tour

a very luxurious way to get around

you just wake up in the next city 

at first it took some time to get used to the moving bed 

but the last 2 nights it was real good

I mostly took pictures of the astounding Norwegian Nature

I almost starved with the lack of good nature during the German tour

the Autobahn-weiws have nothing to compete with on that bit.

HOME

The drive home was long and blurry

i mostly slept through it

in Germany we stumbled upon a nasty snow storm

but when we came to sweden the sun welcomed us back home

And Im so happy to come home,

to meet the cat again and breath this familiar air

hopefully this will make us both get well quickly

because tomorrow we are off again

this time Norway for 5 days..

Day 20 10/3 Berlin, White trash LAST GIG

Day 20

the last gig of the German tour!

and i guess the last 3 weeks has started to get on us

Im still sick

and i spend most of the day sleeping in the car on our way to Berlin

the weather in berlin was a huge disappointment

snow, cold awful wet snow

hungry, cold and no place to go and chill out

but it got better during the evening..

i would say that the boys totally "knäckte" White trash

and we sold a lot of records.

Day 19 9/3 Erfurt, Franz Melhose

Day 19

I think the lack of the fresh forest-air-of-home

made me get sick

fever and a soar throat

or maybe Im just not cut out for a life on the road..

Anyway,

this day we spend some hours in the car, going to Erfurt

and a place called Franz Melhose

we got a good welcoming and

a backstage/bedroom just next to the venue

good food, good sound engineering and a very good audience

a good feeling over all

i would place this gig among the best ones so far

Day 18 8/3 Detmold, Kaiserkeller

Day 18

The longing for home increases each day now

This day we woke up in a foggy, gray and small German town

 called Detmold

me and Gunhild "did town" as we say

it wasn't very much to see
