Chilly flamingo

Posted on January 31, 2023 by Gary

We have a contender

Posted on January 30, 2023 by Gary

Following my usual shop at the Coop and Mirinda’s walk with the dogs, today we returned to Trosa. This time we were actually seeing inside two houses. Because we couldn’t make the open house days, Mirinda arranged for the real … Continue reading →

Proper Swedish piano

Posted on January 29, 2023 by Gary

I cooked a frittata tonight. Mirinda was on a call with Sophie but I thought she’d finish in time for dinner but she didn’t. The frittata looked pretty much done inside the oven. I figured she’d not be too much … Continue reading →

When Espresso House ran out of large lattes

Posted on January 25, 2023 by Gary

I slept in this morning. A very unusual and unexpected event. Even the girls slept in. It was actually light outside. I must have needed it. Mirinda reckons it was because of the exciting day I had yesterday. Obviously, Iron … Continue reading →

Roten graffiti

Posted on January 23, 2023 by Gary

We went to our first Open House today. It was to look at the yellow house in Tungelsta; the one we saw from the street the other day. Mirinda had contacted the real estate agent, and he’d let her know … Continue reading →

Travel without planes

Posted on January 22, 2023 by Gary

Another Sunday, another lunch at the café on Notholmen though we went a bit later this week. This was because there were so many people there last week that we thought we’d avoid the crowds. While we did avoid them, … Continue reading →
