Most of today was spent inside. Mirinda had a few Visual Effects sessions she wanted to attend (online) and I had washing to do. Naturally, Mirinda took the girls on a lovely long walk during which she saw an owl, … Continue reading →

Last night I attended a WFA webinar about The Fromelles Project 2008-2020. It was presented by Professor Margaret Cox PhD who was Scientific Advisor for the project responsible for archaeology, anthropology and identification. It was utterly fascinating. The project involved … Continue reading →

Posted on February 20, 2023 by Gary

We had snow today. Quite a bit of snow. I walked up to the Coop in the snow and even managed to BeReal a photo of the snow. I should explain that BeReal doesn’t generally request a photo when something … Continue reading →

Café bandits!

This morning I went into Tyresö Centrum to shop. And, great news, the café I wrote about yesterday – it having been removed – is being rebuilt in the same place it was before. I don’t know why. It was … Continue reading →

Mistaken for a statue

Posted on February 16, 2023 by Gary

There was an old, homeless man on the T-bana today. He was pulling a trolley behind him, filled with plastic bags containing, I assumed, his worldly possessions. He was asking for money, however, he only approached young, pretty blonde women. … Continue reading →

Where’s the café gone?

Posted on February 15, 2023 by Gary

In a great shock this afternoon, I walked into Tyresö centrum to find that the café opposite the ICA, Mirinda’s favourite, had gone. It was there yesterday. But this was all that was left today. It had always been popular … Continue reading →

In our street

Posted on February 14, 2023 by Gary

Given it was Valentine’s Day today, there were lots of hearts everywhere. One particular heart caught my eye. I was in ICA and, in a special display, just inside the entrance, were lots of hearts made of fish. Say what … Continue reading →

Swedish bureaucracy is wearing me down

Posted on February 13, 2023 by Gary

I feel sorry for the bus drivers who give a big cheery “God morgon!” as people get on the bus, only to be ignored by sullen faces. Mind you, they might just be getting in early because, while I started … Continue reading →
