Reporting: inspired by spring

Hestehov - spring is here!

After a week off the internet I am back. I tackled my google reader and am now somewhat caught up with the blog world. For news I resorted to the radio, so I might have been more in touch with what was going on than usual.

I was surprised by how easy it was to be without my computer. (I dont have TV, so it was a lot easier to avoid that time consuming screen.) A couple of times I was a little restless, but for most of it I had lots of projects going on or I was hanging out with friends. It is surprising how much you can get done without the usual distractions!

The week consisted of crafting and cooking/baking (check back for later posts), walking, skiing, reading, visiting and receiving visitors, fixing things at home, writing letters and watching the stars and the planets. With spring settling and growing among us this was a perfect week for being outside and planning for the months ahead. 

It is good to be back here, but I am considering restricting my online time or schedule a screen free night a week to make room for more creativity. Analogue time for a longer period is definitely recommended!
