OH AUTUMN, MY FAVOURITE


Living in a city that's actually is on the same latitude as the southern point of Greenland it's generally considered insane to prefer any other season than summer. But still, I sort of secretly like autumn the most, even though it is more the thought of autumn that I like, than the real actual shit weather we have here most of the time anyway.

I associate autumn with all the nice colours, walks in beautiful crisp weather with huge scarves, cute little jackets and a beret, holding hands (well these days I'm mostly just holding my cigarette but anyway), drinking hot chocolate or warm blackcurrant juice. Even the occasional rain and fog is ok, if one indoors sipping on that hot juice then. Normally it just rains, is raw and windy and I complain, but lately it's actually been my kind of autumn.

It's said that if there are many rowanberries it's going to be a cold winter, but I'll just rely on the global warming that I won't have to freeze for the next six monts.

Part of my autumn-things is, as already mentioned, the whole dressing up nicely and semi-warm, looking gorgeus under blue skies and wonderfully coloured trees. My stockings are decorated with small leaves. Very autumn-y.

AWARDED / TAGGED


I've been given the Arte Y Pico award by Casey (she has a very pretty blog so be sure to check it out if you havnen't yet). Thank you sweet Casey :)

The "rules"of Arte Y Pico are - you must pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting content, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language! Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to their blog. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself. The award winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of the Arte Y Pico blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

There are many blogs I could pass it on to, I always find it a bit hard to choose... There were some similar awards in the summer, so I will try to "award" different blogs each time.

So here are the five ones I picked:

*Chick n' Kistch
* Lady Melbourne
*The Cupcake Diary
*From Betsy with Love
*Esme and the Lane Way

(the picture above is made from pictures of these five blogs or the blogwriter's etsy)

I was also tagged by Ranna to list seven of my favorite songs for the moment. Now this is fun but also really hard because I listen to a lot of music all the time, (some of which you can read about under my label 'music') and I mostly listen to a band at the time, not a song. I did a similar tag early in the summer but since it's autumn now I'll try to pull myself together and list onlyseven songs or bands that I've listened too a lot lately...

1) Fatboy. They have a great new album out.
2) The Mustangs (well, and a whole lot of similar bands too...)
3) Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire . Hot.
4) Batmobile - Lucie.
5) The 22-20's in general. Hot band. Wonder why they split up.
6) Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing moon. It's been playing in my head for some while now. (Sometimes also the Nouvelle Vague version.)
7) Volbeat - Sad Man's Tongue.

I'm not going to tag anyone specific this time either so if you want to give this a go then go ahead! (...but I would be a little bit keen on knowing what for example Never Love you More, MissWoo and Betty Lou are listening to for the moment...)
