Memories

Runestone in Helenelund

Looking back: this was the first of many runestones I found, it became a bit of a treasure hunt for me to find and photograph them. There are a number of Rune Stones around the Stockholm area – one thing that A wants to do while she is here is to find some of them. This one […]

A walk around Helenelund

Looking back: The little roads were more prevalent in this area of northern Stockholm than elsewhere in the city. These roads are widely used by cyclists and walkers alike, and, at the right time of year, skiers. If instead of walking toward the Galleria from my office you cross the E4 and railway line you find yourself […]

Kista Landing

Looking back: we spent a lot of time in Kista, being where I worked and where we lived for a good chunk of time we were in Sweden. I arrived in Kista a couple of months back, I started a job on Torshamnsgatan in the tech district of Stockholm. Now I have some catching up […]

Sollentuna bound

We walked over the bridge from our flat in Akalla, heading toward Sollentuna Centrum. There’s an industrial/commercial area on the way, we passed a number of car dealerships and tech offices, Sun, Grundig, LG & Microsoft. Beyond these there’s the main junction with the E4, the main road north from Stockholm, we found the border […]

Dr Syntax Head

We had to visit the curiously named Dr Syntax Head.

The First and Last House

We went to Lands End, where it was misty

Attack of the killer bees

Some of the art installations at the Eden Project are quite inspired – there are some works by Tim Hunkin

Edible heptagon

Food has to be truly remarkable for me to want to take a picture of it. And what could be more remarkable than my first (and so far only) edible heptagon. We went to a belly dancing restaurant for Penny’s birthday – I don’t want to share pictures of the dancing without permission.

The apocalypse came and went

And all I got was this lousy war-chalk. 64kbps, open network, no less. Things are advertised somewhat differently now.

Hot Vax

The underside of MicroVAX-en making a steady base upon which to build a barbecue. I’m not sure this would be the machine of choice these days – the Linux port claimed 5.42 BogoMIPS (cf. 6859.91 for the machine I’m currently using).
