Bålar's fortune is not money or golden trinquets

BåIar's fortune is a collection of all his happy moments and sweet memories stored away on a safe place…

Whenever Bålar wants to move to the next level, he will take the stairs…

Bålar likes to wander around the house at night.

The darkness softens the harshness of the daylight that shows too much detail.

The silence softens the reverberation of the roaring sounds during the day that prevents you from listening to the beautiful music the world makes.

When Bålar was invited by Toad into Mario's world, he was very impressed by the size of the shrooms there…

With this hot weather, Bålar's ice cream melts faster than he can eat. It drips over his hand, on the floor

Målin likes to peel some golden delicious to offer as a sweet while we watch TV

In the Land of Fallen Letters, even Bålar needs a map to get from A to B.

In his younger days, Bålar was an avid dodge ball player. Now you see where he got his dance moves….

When Bålar and Målin take a walk in a field, Bålar does not always follow the same path…

If Bålar was born in a family of spiders, he would probably have invented the (more or less) rectangular web.

During last weekend, Bålar has cleaned the Death Star.

I don't know if the residents were so happy about it because the tie fighters immediately went into pursuit…

Bålar wishes everybody a Happy Bubble gum Day!

Hopefully this one won't explode in his beard…

John in New York City

Inspired by a song of my daughter @klementineplaysmusic

"John in New York City

Place of broken dreams

Thought I had it in me

Nothing is what it seems…"

You may not have heard of the annual tool rodeo, but it's a game where participants have to stay on their favorite tools for as long as possible. Here you see Bålar on his mouse sander called Sandy (he is not so original in giving names).
