let’s talk about little pockets of joy

 












Things and situations that continue to give me moments of joy in these times of overwhelming angst and worry (that I have no power to control) are (in random order) as follows:

A plate of home made vegan Swedish chocolate balls (which I was a long long time since I made).

Changing shoes and adding colours when spring is finally here.

Next up is finally begin using all the pretty spring/summer dresses in the wardrobe.






















Having all the ingredients at home to make Mapo Tofu.

The arrival of buds and spring flowers. I love when large parts of my garden consist of scillas. Alas the beauty isn’t really fully visible in photos.

I am so looking forward to wood anemones, crocuses and tulips next…

A decent bowl of vegan overnight oats. This one with organic rolled oats, blueberries, oat milk, coconut shavings, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, organic raisins and dito peanut butter.
























Making plantbased scones for breakfast. 
Saves money and adds a bit of luxuary to a weekday morning. Win win.

Lighting vegan candles in pretty candle holders.






















Meet cute á la neighbourhood dogs. 

One of the hoods dog ladies have adopted an 8 year old Norfolk terrier. She was adorable and looks very much like loaf dog Malte extraordinaire. But lacks the confident, energetic, happy personality. I hope she will grow more confident and relaxed in her new home.

Last and literally least that day was tiny sausage dig puppy Otis, 9 weeks old. Too cute and impossible to capture properly.




Finishing a satisfying book. Like ’Jonathan Livingston Seagull’. I now can’t stop thinking about the secret life of non-human animals. Is it really all about instincts. Can’t it also be about hopes, dreams and personal pursuits of happiness?
