Day two of the Micro.blog 12 days of winter wonder photo challenge. Today’s word: cozy.
I met this lovely bundle of cuteness while doing a house inspection. One of the great benefits of this line of work is that you get to meet a lot of wonderful pets.

I’m taking part in Micro.blog’s lovely 12 days of winter wonder photo challenge. Today’s word is frost, and this shot is from the south of Stockholm, back in 2023… since frost is nowhere to be seen here in Sweden right now, even though we’re neighbors with Santa.

Spotted this handsome gentleman and asked if I could snap a photo. I’m always a bit hesitant to ask when I’m in Sweden, compared to when I’m traveling. Not so much because Swedes are reserved. I guess it just feels a bit too close to home somehow.

Now you can get the classic Swedish dammsugare (vacuum cleaner) pastry in Halloween mode. Marzipan, chocolate-dipped ends, and a punsch-flavored mix of biscuits, butter, and cocoa. 😋

Went to a photo booth to get my picture taken for my driver’s license renewal. Someone had left their photos behind, like a scene from Amélie.

Read: The Death Sculptor by Chris Carter 📚
Yet another great Robert Hunter story. I’ve never read a series before where every single book is this good, exciting, and unpredictable. Fantastic!

My brother (yes, I’ve told him to move to Micro.blog) has been using AI to colorize old photos. I think the results are great. He keeps the original black and white as the “real photo” and the AI version as a fun extra. It’s him and me in the shot, somewhere in the 70s.

Time for some transcenDental meditation. Getting to the root of things, one tooth at a time. Drilling deep into my thoughts, finding that inner wisdom tooth. Ommm… my gums! 🧘🦷

I just noticed that IMDb has random 404 pages with messages inspired by movie quotes. This one’s my favorite so far 😅

Huddinge, Sweden — boats laid to rest, adding their colors to the autumn canvas, as if painted there by Mother Nature herself.

I received my “IndieWeb is Punk” stickers today. Jim Mitchell kindly sent them for free, since I was part of the inspiration behind this cool creation. Want to know the story behind it? Check out my post Re: IndieWeb is Punk.

Saltsjöbaden, Sweden — mirror morning, with autumn colors slowly making their entrance. I love this time of year! 😍

If you ever visit my hometown, Stockholm, I highly recommend taking the retro tram. There’s even a “fika edition” (of course) where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee while watching the city life roll by outside the window.

It’s Cinnamon Bun Day in Sweden! The perfect excuse for an extra fika (as if we needed one).

Värmdö, Sweden — I stopped for a coffee between jobs and had this foggy fairytale view from my table. Sometimes the surroundings wake you up even more than the caffeine in the cup. Such a wonderful way to recharge.

Skarpnäck, Sweden — this is the picture many people have of my home country, Sweden. And to be honest, it’s not far from the truth. You’ll find plenty of houses like this, especially out in the countryside or scattered around the archipelago. I love it, yet my pulse beats to the rhythm of the city.

Stockholm, Sweden (iPhone 17 Pro) — I was greeted by a mighty sky on my bike ride to work this morning. One that makes you slow down to take it in — and take a photo. A nice way to start the week.

Today Google turns 27, and they’re getting nostalgic by bringing back their very first logo from 1998. 🔗
