The lovely, white snow disappeared overnight. 2022 is here and everything is the same as it has always been, and at the same time it’s completely different. Orust is as lovely as always, with or without snow.

Mathilda and Siri come out with us for the weekend. We braved the icy road and walked down to the water where we swim in the summer and have a hot coffee in the cold, still afternoon. Siri looks like she wants to go for a swim but it’s a good thing she doesn’t because it is really cold. It’s peaceful, still and quiet, a spiritual moment.
