Coffee



I recently started to grind coffee beans instead of using normal ground coffee and it taste so much better! It's worth the effort.

Have a look at Mettes coffee-ritual, you can use some advice from her!

We're putting up things on the walls now..They have been quite empty.

Tomato harvest!


My tomato plant is almost giving up but I got quite many small tomatoes. Thinking of maybe doing this tomorrow!

Parasite Art event



Two pictures from Friday and the show. It was filled with noise, videos, photos, turkish food, tattoos and a performance. It was successful and fun.

Hope you too had a nice weekend!

The Blue Mosque







Last Istanbul pictures.
One day we visited the Blue Mosque. The first time ever I went in to a mosque, it was exciting! Inside it was very impressive and BIG.
The last picture is Hagia Sophia which we unfortunately didn't had time to visit but it was next to the blue mosque so at least I could see it from the outside..

Here you can really see that my camera is broken, bad bad pictures:(

Istanbul food










I ate so much good in Istanbul! A lot of turkish food. I really liked the turkish meze, a dinner or appetizer with various dishes in bowls or small plates which we all shared and ate for a long time.
And of course I drank many cups of turkish coffee:)

Istanbul: Brunch & Joseph Beuys









One morning we went on a boat which took us to a nice brunch together with a tour of the Joseph Beuys and his students exhibition. Amazing place.

PS. My camera has decided to break again so some of the pictures I'll be posting are bad..sorry. The camera still works but mostly it takes bad blurry pictures. I think I'll buy a new one when I can afford it. Until that, I'm going to use Rasmus camera and the broken one when I have to!

Istanbul Biennial









Phew! What a week! We came home yesterday night and it's been quite strange to come home to my calm little city... Now in the end I can say that Istanbul is almost too much of everything. But I had a great time and the city is really worth visiting!! It's like a different world:)

I have loads of pictures to go through and see what I'm going to show you, I start with just a few from the Biennial. There was much good works, also lots of good videos. Lot of political work and collages..
I'm going to check for the names of these artists and write it down later.
