Courtesy of my sister, I somehow ended up spending the Saturday in Stockholm watching Inca gold and musical theater. I admit I had my doubts about the idea to go to the capital in January, but it turned out quite good. I got a free day out, and my sister got someone to entertain her son while she and her daughter got shopping time. Less suffering ( Read more... )

Since dzioo for some unfathomable reason wanted to see my family's Christmas gingerbread constructions efforts. (A.k.a. niece and nephew came up with the ideas and then it was up to my mom and me to try to assist in the realization.)

And suddenly, I'm reminded of my childhood winters. Back in those days when winters meant snow. However, it was also back in those days when the actual moving of snow for utilitarian purposes was mostly someone else's duty.

( I admit everyone already know how things like this look, but why should I let that stop me? )

While looking for other photos on my camera, I found some three weeks old photos from back when I was bored and had two hours of waiting to kill. So here is a random boring tour around Norrköping, one of the twin cities I call home towns, and this one is my childhood one to boot.

( Beware! Boring city photos under the cut. And lots of 'em. )

This last week in pictures. Not because it was anything special really, but because I wanted to. OK, so the weather was nice, if that's an excuse for the photo spamming. Image heavy behind the cut, obviously.

( Random photo walk, mostly on walking distance from the uni campus in Linköping. (I.e. half the town. I like walking after all.) )

Time for another year to end, and as has been usual lately I have problems making up my mind if it's been a good or a bad year. Anyway, happy new year to all of you!

This has been the first weekend in at least one month that I actually have felt somewhat free. "Free" of course being a relative thing. "Not incredibly stressed" is probably a more exact description. Oh well. And no matter which it is still a case of dark November having passed over into equally dark December and all I really want to do is sleep.

Spent the day - and a couple of days before that - doing family socializing things as a result of my aunt visiting. Today that among other things happened to include a countryside flea market visit ( Read more... )

Some days ago I was crisscrossing my hometown in lack of anything better to do (it was nice weather, and the transport connections unsynchronized as usual), so since dzioo sort of asked for it, here's a pic post from the exotic (my apologies to the Swedish audience) east central Swedish city of Norrköping.

( Heavy pic post behind this cut. You are hereby properly warned. And feel lucky, these are only about a third of the total amount of photos taken that day. )

It's Saturday, and it's been nice and sunny for the first time in more than a week, so I really had to go outside even if I had other things to do. So, after hunting camera motives over at the ongoing Horse Show without any real luck, I ended up taking a tour down memory lane instead. Which means I'm going to be totally self-centered for a while ( Read more... )
