Oops, it's been a while again... During the last couple of weeks, my friend Mia and I have been to Engelen three times to hear some live music.
First was Rockprinsen & The Legends. It was our first time seeing them, but definitely not the last time. đ
One of my absolute fave singers, or maybe THE fave singer, died last week, only 63 years old. Jack Russell from Great White. He suffered from Lewy body demetia and multiple system atrophy.
Not only has he always been a fave singer of mine. It was also thanks to his words in an interview that I picked up my portrait drawing after an over ten years break. I don't remember the exact words now, but he said something about that if you have been given a gift you are supposed to use it. So, knowing my drawing talent is a gift, I did what he said...
Jack was also the first person I decided to draw after that long break. I sent the finished result to him, and I'm very flattered that he said I'm probably the most talentet artist he has seen. đ
I had hoped to be able to see him in concert again some time, but that didn't happen. I'm glad to have seen him and Great White at least once, back in 1989.
Long time no see again... Ten days. I'm obviously not that good at posting daily...
This week I received several postcards both via Postcrossing and Postcards United. I'm so glad I started getting active there again, I love getting fun snail mail. đ
I recently set my Postcard United to active, after not having been active for a four year's break. Last week I received my first postcard, from Germany.
Sorry, for Swedish followers only. đ

One of the things we did when I visited mom was going to Trollharen, very close to where mom lives. My dad used to have a boathouse there. Well, not an actual house, just a place to keep your boat, I don't know the correct English word for that.
I guess I should post more about what mom and I did during the ten days I spent with her (we didn't do something every day, some days we just stayed at home, working in the garden or getting other things done, as well as just relaxing, playing cards, reading, watching TV etc).
I already made a post about our visit to Axmarbruk the day I arrived. While there, we went to see JĂ€rn-Britas Koja (in English, Iron Brita's Hut). It's made of leave shaped pieces of iron, with glass inside to protect from rain and wind. Inside is a room you can rent and spend the night. You get the feeling of being outdoors beneath a forrest of leaves.
