apple

I am very much here in Kajalakoti even though I have not been writing the blog actively lately. I am preparing some things for the open day and then I am living life in Kajalakoti like it is a very natural thing to do. Today I had some technical problems with my apple mac. Now the whole room smells of apples after I picked apples. Even though I am working towards the open house, it feels very natural to go and sit and wait for the next meal half an hour before it is served. This I and many others do even though we know for sure that the food will come exact on time.

Hairdresser in your living room

I feel like at home and that I have a place here. Quit relaxed actually. Today was the hairdresser here, sometimes my haidresser friend come to my home to cut my hair as well. Life is convenient that way, when all that you need is offered just outside your bedroom.
