It seems that Ingela and I have differing views of how to use Pete Townshends album "All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes"...:)
It all started last Sunday when Lukas and I went to the yearly vinyl record fair in Vasa. I was browsing through a big box of unsorted albums, 3 EUR each, when I bumped into this album in a very good condition, removing the record out of the inner sleeve I couldn't find any scratches whatsoever. To me it seemed unused.
So I immediately bought it of course. This bargain spurred my thoughts onward to start searching for "White City" but I spent another 1 1/2 hours searching for that one without luck.
When I came home and showed the record to Ingela she immediately snatched it out of my hands, thanked me for this nice piece of decoration and installed on a shelf in her office!
Well, I must admit that it looks very good there alongside withe the quotation from "Baba O'Riley".
The inner sleeve containing the record is though stored in my collection of vinyls. :)
In the meantime we have got a lot more of this bloody white stuff we love so much... Not!
Well it makes the surroundings brighter and is rather decorative as you see. But when you have to clean your driveway repeatedly and it makes your biking rough you get tired of the stuff.
The picture is shot across the street from our kitchen window last Sunday.
And the temperature plunged down to -23 C again today.
The tealights are keeping us warm and cosy though!

Love the album cover! But so sorry about the white stuff. We haven't had any since New Year's day, and it's been a very mild month, but the temperatures have plummeted here again to -3, although relative to yours, that's nothing hey? Anyway, just dropping by to say hi very quickly. Love to Ingela too. I often think of you both! When are you coming to Rotterdam??
Hi Val,
Nice to see you back here!
Well, I really like snow if and when it arrives in decent quantities once a month but definitely not when it repeatedly accumulates to 12 inches more in one single day... Aargghh!
Well I can't complain now, we had a good thaw last weekend and a lot of it went literally down the drain :)
And we have decent temperatures now, around -5 C.
Well... No trips to anyplace are planned for the moment being, we are renovating and painting Lukas'
old room now, he moved out and got himself his own apartment as per end of November and we are turning his room into a guest room and as soon as the snow starts melting away I will resume working on our new greenhouse!
But have patience, in our next five years plan we have plenty of ideas for travelling in Europe, maybe some excessive Interrailing that would include Rotterdam as well :)
