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 […]

We had to visit the curiously named Dr Syntax Head.

We went to Lands End, where it was misty

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

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 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).

Actually about five years off, but you never know where he’ll turn up, watching.

Somewhere in the dim and distant past, there was a music and cricket festival.

I went to visit some Roman remains – unfortunately I have no record of where this was.
