Architecture and knitting

Without Lili, who was spending the afternoon at her friend Josefine's house, today we paid a visit to Moderna Museet /Arkitektur Museet, as Pete and I were respectively intrigued by two exhibitions which recently opened: one devoted to Le Corbusier's "secret laboratorium", ie some of his less-known creative activities such as sculpture, painting and sketching for never-built projects, the other showing a typical 1960s Swedish flat that had been translated into a whole knitted 3D installation - fancy that!

Neither Poppy nor Otto were that impressed by the Pope of modernism's talent, so we kind of whizzed a bit quickly through the first lot... They regained a marginal degree of attention when we went into the different rooms of "the knitted flat", Otto even tried to wash his hands from the floppy woolly tap! A bit disappointing that the rooms were empty and not furnished with knitted furniture, we thought. 

The best moment for everyone, though, was the stop at the café, with the magnificent view over the water (and lovely cakes). Still freezing cold here, but a bit better - we're talking -7 instaed of -18 on Thursday...

Waow.+7! It feels like a long way ahead for us here...The forecast is actually for positive temperatures during the week (+1 or 2 if we are lucky) but then the -10 or so will be back...We saw quite a few birds today, in fact, desperately trying to feed on the little bags of nuts or seeds left for them in trees by local residents. With all the snow everywhere still, they do not have much option...Hope you are both well, speak to you soon! Love from us 5, AK

Architecture and knitting...not two items usually linked together! Sounds an intriguing

combination. Imagine Otto's (and your) surprise if water had come out of that knitted tap!! Hope Lili enjoyed her day, too. All our snow has gone at last and it's a nice sunny day with temperature about +7 here. There seems to be almost of hint of Spring in the air with the birds tweeting excitedly. Can't wait, it seems to be have been a long, cold Winter. Take care

Love from Rosemary/Mum/Grandma
