Ladies and Gentlemen, the summer is just around the corner. Leave your gloves at home it is time to shake it in the sun. Leidseplein is getting busy again and today there was a man doing tricks there. To be exacte, there was one man there balancing a bike on his check

and at Albert Cyup Market it is getting really crowded again. But the fruit is fresh and tasty!

Two weeks ago I delivered to rolls of film to a photo shop here in Amsterdam. I found the rolls together with a camera at my great grandma’s place and was planning on keeping the old rolls as decoration. But then I got the idea to print them, just in case there was something nice on them. On one of the rolls the numbers 1958 was written on it and while the pictures where sent away for development I kept on wondering ” is the rolls really 52 years old? or did they cost 19,58 kr? or did the numbers mean something else?” Since the rolls where so old, the photoshop could not develop them themselves and had to send them to a “special” place. After one week I got the negatives which looked great and I asked to get them printed. today I picked up the prints. They where 14 great picture all together that I will upload in 1,5 weeks when I figure out who everyone is. What I think I know today is that:

On this picture my grandma, Synnøve is standing togeter with one of her friends, probably Kirsten. If I have counted correctly, my grandma is 16 years old on this picture.

On this picture you can see my Great grandma, Judith at 32 years young together with my great grandpa, Egil who is looking out on the beautifull boats, mountains and sea in Lofoten.

Here is my great grandma and my great grandpa together

I took a little bike ride around the part of Amsterdam where my apartment is to look for the spring. From my apartment I can feel, see and hear the spring. At least once a day I see raindrops on my window, Crows wake me up in the morning and my nose is getting itchy. Flowers are blooming all around me, the grass is getting greener and every now and then I see a ladybird. The weather is getting warmer and the rain is making me wet.

At 17.00 today I took my bike to Dam Square to check out the pillow fight one of my former co-worker was organizing.
“Every year World Pillow Fight Day is celebrated in many cities around the world. It is a free event that is all about fun. Last year Amsterdam participated for the first time and we all had a feathery blast

Our world is increasingly obsessed with regulations, security and commercialism. This threatens our freedom and creativity. That’s why we must reclaim the streets as a place where everybody can simply have fun – without meddling authorities or corporate sponsors” – facebook event

and here is a list over all the other cities that joined the event:
Accra, Ann Arbor, Atlanta, Barcelona, Beijing, Belgrade, Berlin, Bogotá, Bologna, Boston, Bourges, Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Buffalo, Caracas, Chapel Hill, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Coimbatore, Columbia, Denver, Edinburgh, Göteborg, Geneva, Groningen, Guatemala City, Guayaquil, Győr, Ho Chi Minh City, Hobart, Hong Kong, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Kecskemét, Kiev, Krakow, Kuala Lumpur, Lausanne, Leeds, Liège, London, Los Angeles, Maastricht, Maceio, Madrid, Melbourne, Miami, Minneapolis, Miskolc, Montpellier, Montréal, New York, Oulu, Palermo, Paris, Philadelphia, Pilisborosjenő, Porto, Québec, Quito, Raleigh, Roanoke, Rotterdam, San Diego, Santiago de Chile, Savannah, São Paulo, Seoul, Székesfehérvár, Szeged, Szombathely, Taipei, Toronto, Utrecht, València, Vancouver, Vienna, Warsaw, Washington, Zürich
