Have a Fika with me!

Fika is a swedish word for a break that usually includes coffee or other hot beverage together with something sweet, like a cinnamon roll or other baked goods. You can fika alone or with people.
This is a project I came up with as a one person business where you don't have that fika break that most companies have where they chat about all things going on (tv, politics, movies, weekend plans, etc).
I invite you to have a fika with me. Put the kettle on and have a seat.

This is going to be a web series with more short films on the subject of Fika.
My new home page is sooon ready (yeah, I know I've said that forever, but now it truly is close!) and I will be back here to tell you when that happens! Here's the adress if you want to have a peak on what's going on in my life: lottalosten.com Lots of pictures to look at.
Thanks for your patience and hope you enjoy the video.

Past weeks.

Sorry for not updating so much here. I'm blogging mostly at my swedish site lottalosten.com. If you want to see more pics I recommend you to pop over there. I actually will turn that site into english soon and blog in both swedish and english but for now it's all written in swedish.
Well, I've been up to quite a bit the last couple of weeks. Here are a few highlights:

Turned 30!

Had friends and family over for an entire weekend of fun! Here is my dad, my niece and my best friend.

Beautiful sister!

We went for lots of walks.

Had dinner at a nice restaurant. My dad, niece and mother.

Had brunch at a great place.

Lovely David.

Having fun with my niece!

Taking pics of flowers in the kitchen window.

Had friends over for the weekend. Went to a fleemarket.

Waited for assistance with a table.

Tried to squeeze said table in to a small car. This did not work. But it fit in our car so everything worked out fine.

Foggy days.

Woke up to a foggy day. Put my clothes on and ran outside with my camera. I didn't need to rush, the fog was staying for the entire day but I didn't know that by then.

It was milky white everywhere. Couldn't see anything further down the road.

Walked to the cattle in the field close by. This is not the usual swedish cows, I don't know their name but they are hairy and got amazing horns.

Found this beautiful spider web that hypnotized me for a while.

Ah! All of a sudden this big guy was standing super close to me! I jumped backwards and waited for him to go and find something else to be curious about. 

I'm truly amazed by how beautiful nature can be.

Love how his horns turn in opposite directions.

A rose outside the house stopped me on my way in for breakfast.

Later in the day David and I went for a long walk over the hills.

A hen house without any hens.

More amazing spider webs. Can't not take photos when I see one! 

Such beautiful landscapes.

Hullo!

David contemplating a career change. Sheep herder would suit him great! 

This photo reminds me of some strange european art film (beautiful but a bit tedious).

 Click for better view!

So red and vibrant! 

After this photo we got stuck in a big grove with lots of the hairy cattle from earlier today. We walked close to the fence and repeated load to ourselves  "They are probably nice, they are probably nice" and hoped this wouldn't be known as our Famous Last Words.

They weren't.

Where I go to write a script.

 We're at Österlen trying to write a movie script. 

After a bit of hard script thinking we went for a walk in the beautiful hills.

Walked pass the big farm house.

It was so windy I had to keep one hand on my hat almost the entire walk. It was so beautiful everywhere. I've only ever been here during summer time before and it felt amazing to see my favourite place in my favourite part of the year.

Look at those misty hills!

I love all of these pictures of David under the big tree. Couldn't decide which one to show you so I'll show you all of them instead. :-) They remind me a bit of the poster for the movie Big Fish.

Backlit sheep.

This tree was standing there all lit and colourful! So beautiful. 

Framed view.

Wide screen view.

The pumpkin says Hundbord which means Dog table. I thougt that was so hilarious!

When we came home after about an hour we made hot vegetable soup and continued our script brain storming. This should turn out quite well!

Trees in golden light.

Yesterday was so beautiful! Autumn at it's true state. We went for a walk in to town and had soup and bagel sitting outside in the autumn sun. When it got colder it was really nice to have the hot soup to warm us from the inside.
I love these days when it's sunny and just the right amount of chilly crispness in the air.
