Laughter Is the Sun

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Victor Hugo

The sun is here! The sun is here!

Okay. Deep breath.

Calm down.

Relax.

Glance around.

The sun is here!

Okay, now I’m done. But can you really blame me? It has been a loooong and grey winter, and I’ve spent most of it waiting for the spring. And finally, it has arrived. I feel like a bear waking up from hibernation. My energy levels have hit the roof and it feels like I could conquer the world.

Past experience tells me, this will only last about a week or two, but I’ll enjoy it as long as I can.

The sun, also, equals sunglasses. These ones I found in Rome last year. They were suitably quirky…and cheap (7 euros.) So of course I had to buy them. Let’s see how long these ones will last. I haven’t had much luck with my glasses. You might even call me the ”Destroyer of Sunglasses”.

Please don’t.

Fortunately, they’re not my only pair of sunglasses. Not by a long shot. But they are one of my favourites at the moment, which means I’ll inevitably sit on them or something.

As for the photos…Well, my mom always told me: If you keep making that face, it will stay that way.

Obviously, I never listened.

I Think I’m a Banana Tree

When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you – oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?

Queen

 

A while ago, I found this Jean Paul Gaultier for Lindex vest hiding on a sales rack. It was one of those rare moments, when I was in the right place at the right time. Just one vest, and it was in my size. Victory!

I don’t know from where it had materialised, since I had no recollection of seeing it before at the store…and trust me I visit the local Lindex store plenty. But there it was. It must have been destiny.

Okay, let’s not get carried away, after all it’s just a vest. Call it a lucky chance. A stroke of luck. A…Oh, forget about it.

I figured I’d just combine it with one of my (dozens of) simple T-shirts, but then, accidentally, hung it in the closet with my – one and only – band top. Queen obviously – the greatest band ever. You may disagree of course. You’d be wrong, but you may still disagree.

Just kidding.

I may or may not have been conditioned to love Queen since childhood, as my dad is a massive fan of the band. I could probably hum my first Queen song before I could talk.

Anyway, I think the combination might actually work. What do you think?

I’m one card short of a full deck
I’m not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I’m not at my usual top billing
I’m coming down with a fever
I’m really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I’m a banana tree
Oh dear, I’m going slightly mad

Queen/Slightly mad
