It’s lunchtime, and I just emptied my feed reader.

Just emptied my feed reader, and now I know three things:

Andy is on a five-month journey, hiking along the Appalachian Trail. And blogging about it on his glorious pixel art website. A Trail Tale is a must-see. 🌲

Endurance is most essential when hanging out with my nieces. Here’s three of them and yours truly during a theatre rehearsal. When they write the script, I often get the role of a horse. Day 31. Photo by Sanna.

Robin’s tap essay from 2012 is about a dead fish. But also about the difference between liking and loving something on the internet. Day 30.

A smartphone on a shelf. A fullscreen app with a solid pistachio background and text set in a serif font. He'd sit them down in an empty room with a dead fish in a metal tray, and he would say simply: Look.

If you haven’t checked out Sarah Andersen’s webcomic, you should! Stripes for day 29.

The cover of a book named Adulthood is a Myth by Sarah Andersen. A girl with messy hair wears an oversized, white sweater with red stripes. Or is it a red sweater with white stripes? The girl is followed by a white bunny.

September last year: working, fueled by wine and fair weather. Day 28.

A spectacular view from an open door. A blue sky with clouds and the sea at a distance. Inside, a woman sits at a table working on a laptop accompanied by a glass of fine. Opposite her, there's another laptop, a glass of wine, and an empty chair. Maybe the photographer's seat?

Luckily, we stumbled upon this written communication during our stroll today. Day 27.

There is a big wooden sign surrounded by trees and greenness, seemingly in the middle of the forest. The word KABEL is written using giant, black letters in all caps.

When this post goes live, overdue will change from 3 to 2. Day 26, schedule.

Smartwatch with a to-do list app showing. It says scheduled 36, 3 overdue.

Hiaklitten is probably more of a hill than a mountain. But, for day 25, it will have to do.

A lovely, somewhat cloudy day. A woman looks out at a spectacular view from a hill. She observes trees, a stream, and a large body of water in the distance.

I love when intricate patterns emerge from simple rules and mathematical formulas, like this bit field. It appears so complex, but the math is concise: (x ^ y) % 5. 👌 Check out Martin Kleppe’s thread from last year if you want to go down a rabbit hole.

On the twenty-third day, we had sweet potatoes and salmon for dinner. Accompanied by this avocado dip. The recipe? Mix green peas, avocado, and plain yogurt until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste.

Six years ago, Sanna and I visited the Textile Museum in Borås for the exhibition Game Over by Per Fhager. Seeing the games we played as kids – and to be fair, still do – blown up big, crossed stitched, warm and fuzzy was fascinating!

With just about an hour left of the day, Music’s Autoplay serves this one up on a silver platter. Symmetry for day 21. Phew. 😮‍💨

A phone with the music app front and center. The album cover is an abstract, symmetrical shape in ANSI art form.

Today’s smoothie: frozen raspberries, banana, and vanilla oatgurt. My typical afternoon beverage. 😋 Day 20.

A delicious looking, pink smoothie in a old fashioned glass.

Weirdly, I’ve never stumbled upon http.cat and http.dog before. Joy! 🥹

Day 19 – comics indulgence.

Three comic books in a spread. The topmost one is Efter oss, syndafloden by David Olgarsson. The author and title of the bottom two are partially obscured. However, Moa Romanova and Inne i […] Liv can be seen. All three covers feature portraits of women.

Day 18. There are 875 entries by 116 photographers in the May photoblogging challenge. You will be taken to another random photo by tapping my entry below. 👇

Oh, man, we had friends over, and I almost missed today’s photoblogging challenge. 😅 Hold – day 17.

Let’s go back in time for day 16.

If you open the pendulum door and peek inside, you will find a piece of paper with typewritten words. Signed by my grandpa. The clock was a gift to him from his wife in 1961.

Every tick-tock reminds me of them.

The top half of a grandfather clock against an eerie black backdrop. The case's color is bone and the white clock-face features black numbers. Westerstrand Sweden can be seen at the bottom of the clock face, and the hands show seven minutes until five o'clock.
