For some reason its a public holiday here in Sweden tomorrow, so I was looking for something to do. I wasn’t very successful but I did find Volvo abuse on a scale only possible in rural Sweden. Comes complete with a little giggle in the background that brings to mind hirez throwing a sack of hammers down a stone staircase.

A digital misfit
The car was registering -5 outside today when I was heading out for a walk. I drove to the other side of the nature reserve north of Akalla, before walking across to the memory fields. There was a biting wind and the snow underfoot was being creaky. There were a few streams and pools nearby the path covered in ice, the surface on a couple had been broken to show an inch of ice on them.
I was glad to get back to the car and thaw out, its such a nice feeling being able to move your face again and getting the burning sensation in your ears so you know you didn’t get frostbite in them.

Happy New Year
One of my resolutions this year was (as probably has been before) to be a bit better at communicating – I’ve somewhat lost touch with a lot of people over the last couple of years. So I’m going to start writing here a bit more.
We started by seeing the new year in with the Burnt Out Punks, well, we would have done if there hadn’t been quite such a crowd in the way, so actually we just saw some flames twirling above peoples heads on stage.
The view over the city across the harbour from Skansen was fantastic, so we got a panoramic view of the cities fireworks.

Dammit, I haven’t yet gotten to the Frag Grenades in my Advent Calandar.
