Today - new pants. Tomorrow - The world!

Mission finally completed! I now have two pair of jeans that fits!! Lindex seems to be the only place that actually have my size (curvy with short legs and huge thighs & big butt) and since they seem to have *some* touch with size-reality I shall hereby name them Fias New Favorite Store, formerly known as Lindex.

Here in Skåne, the autumn rain has started. It seems to be raining all the time, and I'm really not in the mood for excercise at all. And I'm cold. My feets are cold (even though I'm in my grannys knitted socks), my hands are cold, my nose is cold... it feels like I'm cold into the core... But the upside of autumn - the lovely colours!

I just havent got around to taking pics, but.. Oh, the pletty colours! Autumn leaves, orange trees, mushrooms. Maybe I'll go to Bokskogen this weekend, if there's time. And then, you'll see...

The best season of the year

Today I'm a little sad and still a little happy. (It's funny how these things can coexist.)

Autumn is here, or at least it will be very soon. For me autumn is The 'feel good-time' of the year. The wonderful colours, the cozy evenings in the sofa, with tea, a good book and a blanket (and a cat on top). It's time to buy some nice cardigans, a scottish scarf, a warm sweatshirt for exercise... It's time for my pelargonias to be put in from the balcony, and for the heather to take it's place. It's time to buy some extra cushions, maybe in some darker colours, like deep purple, orange, red, yellow, winter green and so on. It's time to relaxe...

Autumn is also, for me, a time of reflection. My brain, which has overheated during the summer, now cools off. The tempo slows down and I start to apprechiate the 'now'. The world in which I live in, the people I share it with. I'm happy about making new friends, missing my old friends, and of course my family. When I miss my loved ones, I usually listen to this song. (One of my favourite songs! I love the lyrics, and of course Scotland, Caledonia, but for me the song is about my own home, Norrbotten...)

Caledonia
I don't know if you can see
The changes that, have come over me
And these last few days
I've been afraid that I might drift away
So I've been telling all the stories
And singing songs that make me think about, where I came from
And that's the reason, why I feel so far away today
And let me tell you, that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia has been calling me
Now I'm going home
And if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything, I ever had
Caledonia's been everything, I ever had

Miss U guys!
(Btw, it's raining cats and dogs outside ant the lightning just killed the TV, at least for a second.)
