I needed buttons and i did'nt want to wait and i was too comfy in the sofa to go looking for a flee market. This will do for now

2011-07-25T23:00:00.001+02:00

I just realised that for being a barefoot person, i have quite a few shoes...

2011-07-22T18:07:00.001+02:00

I've entered a biking race... I thought it was for fun and packed the basket with chocolate and mp3s, the others are dressed in neon coloured tights and funny shoes... I'm going to be SO last!!

2010-10-01T08:53:00.002+02:00

i was supposed to be on my way to berlin with work right now. but i'm not. i have the worstest cold ever! head ache, face ache, neck ache, couching fits, sinuses packed with snot, dizziness and itchy rashes on my arms. so, i'm not on my way to berlin right now.

2010-09-19T15:04:00.004+02:00

we've had a chicken mystery going on here! last saturday we left the chicken family out in the garden when we went shopping, and when we came home the babies were locked up in the chicken house and the mothers were gone. we went looking for them but couldn't find a single feather.

the afternoon the next day the neighbours called out that they could see mama brown, so the husband and i went down to meet her and follow her home. she had lost all the feathers on her behind and looked like half a hen, but we were all happy to see her. still no sign of mama black though, and we started to think that we would never see her agian.

on monday i spent some time with the girls in the garden, as we were a bit worried about letting them out again. and mama brown decided to have a flying lesson with the babies. they were all very brave and strong!

i had to leave for work a few days, but on tuesday the husband reported he had found mama black down by the river! she was too nervous to come home though. but on wednesday he managed to trap her with a little help from one of the chicks.

so yesterday the entire family were gathered to celebrate the chicks' first month. we gave them princess cake, but they didn't even taste it. they loved the rice though :) and mama brown loves my cinnamon buns, so she chuckled and looked pleased.

2010-09-14T19:05:00.001+02:00

I'm not at home

2010-09-13T22:46:00.001+02:00

Those may very (ie VERY) well be the smelliest feet i've ever met. And i get to spend 35 more minutes in their company. More than enough...

2010-09-12T16:33:00.002+02:00

The mothers disappeared yesterday, and the chicks had to sleep in the house with us. Luckily mama brown returned just now. Rumpless but alive. So amelia, edith-fredrik and i are out looking for mama black. I so so hope we will find her!!

2010-09-05T18:58:00.001+02:00

Because we're worth it. Kind of.

2010-09-04T17:35:00.001+02:00

We're having pasta with the new princess

2010-09-03T20:34:00.003+02:00

Niiice and cosy. I had to pay 10 sekr to use this... But soon i'll be at the parents' and it will all be forgotten

2010-09-03T20:34:00.001+02:00

One of the black chicks

2010-09-02T18:53:00.003+02:00

the ballerina girls are growing up. from left to right: anneli, olivia, edith-fredrik och amelia

2010-08-29T18:11:00.002+02:00

the babies are 11 days old and i'm starting to have names for them:

the yellow and brown: anneli - after anneli alhanco, as she looks like a prima ballerina
the black with the biggest little rump: olivia - after olivia newton-john, as she is a bit stout but still slender and grand
the grey: amelia - after amelia earhart, as she is tough and brave and independent and a bit reckless

the only one still without a name is the black one with the smallest rump. i called her edith for a while, after edith piaf, as she is small and ordinary looking, but with a great and shiny personality. i might also call her fredrik, after the friend who wanted us to call all the chicks fredrik... that way she would have a godfather, which i think she would like

2010-08-19T13:36:00.001+02:00

The adventure has begun
