Life lately: September 2015.
Watching | I usually only mention the things I actually enjoyed watching, but this month I must include Mad Max: Fury Road which was one of the worst films I've ever seen. Really don't get the hype at all. Per felt so guilty afterwards for making me watch it. As for a really good film, I watched Little Boy which was one of the sweetest films I've seen in a very long time. It might just have made me cry, on more than one occasion. Finally, we went to see the hilarious Vacation at the cinema. On TV my guilty pleasure show Lyxfällan came back and has me gasping in horror at people's stupidity every week despite how predictable it has turned. Also, I've been watching Vem tror du att du är? and feeling jealous that I never found anything as exciting when researching my family tree. It seems like no matter who's on the show they're always related to royalty or other famous people, or at least manage to dig up some juicy crime story.
Listening to | My Disney playlist which I seem unable to grow tired of.
Consuming | Hotel breakfasts galore what with spending ten nights at six different hotels in September/early October + lots of delicious Croatian food, including Ćevapčići and various seafood... And plenty of icecream of course. Oh and my beloved satsumas are in season again! I even bought some straight from a farmer in Croatia.
Reading | Since I was on vacation I had time to finish two books - Little Bee by Chris Cleave and What Milo Saw by Virginia Macgregor. I enjoyed both but I don't think they will stick with me in the long run because I didn't really love any of the characters... Lately I've taken to visiting the library on a regular basis and it's worked wonders for my reading. So simple really... When I buy books I end up not really enjoying I force myself to get through them because it seems wasteful to buy new ones and let the unread ones pile up, and thus I lose interest in reading. With library books there's no such guilt; I can just return the books and pick some fresh ones.
Visiting | Just the parents from what I can remember but I might be missing someone because September was such a long and busy month.
Enjoying | Above all, the sunshine, blue skies and beauty of Croatia (+ Montenegro where we went on a day trip). This vacation was everything I dreamed of & more. Croatia will always hold a special place in my heart and I hope to go back there many times in the future.
Making | Digital Project Life pages for my 2015 photobook.
Looking forward to | Scrapbooking my memories from Croatia. But first I will share the photos on here; it's my rule that I can't scrapbook any photos that I haven't blogged.
Project Life: How I scrapbooked 20 years in five months.
Monday, 14 September 2015
In the scrapbooking world having your entire life scrapbooked seems to be somewhat of a holy grail, something many aspire to but few people ever get close to reaching. This year, I've got very close to reaching that goal and today I thought I'd share how I did it in five steps.
Life lately: August 2015.
Thursday, 3 September 2015
Watching | Most notably, Far from the Madding Crowd and Testament of Youth, both of which contain beautiful scenery and love stories. Watching them really made me want to go travelling on the English countryside. Also, this, which I claim is the best Swedish documentary series in a long time.
Listening to | Panflute music. I feel strangely drawn to the often melancholy sound.
Consuming | All the delicious chocolate I got for my birthday.
Reading | Augustiresan by Anna Fredriksson which I mostly read because it takes place in August in an area of the country that I love... I can't say I loved the book, nor did I expect to, but the way it was written managed to draw me in anyway.
Visiting | The parents several times, my friend E & various other places I went to during my summer vacation.
Enjoying | The perfect summer weather we had, being on vacation, fun busy days at work, excellent photo lighting, celebrating my birthday...
Making | Less progress with my photo projects than I would have liked, but I hope to make up for that in the autumn. When the weather is nice I obviously prefer to be out doing things and taking photos rather than staying inside, editing them.
Looking forward to | Going to Croatia in three weeks!
