Merry Christmas, I say

It’s Christmas time. As much as I like seeing how happy people become over the shared joy, I also feel with the others, who feel sorrow over being left outside this experience. It’s ambiguous. To have all the reasons in the world to be part, and yet, neither feel, nor want to become. I do [...]

Kulturnatten

Last night had potential to become one of the more exciting nights in this little town. Kulturnatten is the night of the year when tons of culture is presented on our streets. It quite probably was fantastic, but I was a bit unlucky in my planning and succeeded to miss about everything I wanted to [...]

Södra Esplanaden

This is where to go when on the outlook for used things, an entire avenue that every Saturday is filled with a mix of people where most give the impression having tidying up the basement.  This flee market has been going on ever since I came to Lund, a quite healthy alternative to headless consumption. [...]

Peace, at last

Well hidden in the Southern outskirts of Lund is a place I only recently learnt to know about. It’s a cemetery forgotten by most, and they who rest here were forgotten about already while they lived. The cemetery was used between 1895 and 1951 by the mental hospital which is located immediately nearby. There are [...]

Sushi på skånska

This is a sushi restaurant here in Lund. It’s called “Sushi på skånska”, which means Sushi in Skånska, which in turn is our particular dialect here in South Sweden. Some overly witty one has sprayed Sushi in Japanese on the window.

Hello Spring

This is almost as when I was young, when we had real winters and long, sunny summers. As I remember it, Spring usually lasted for, say a week. Then there was Summer all May. And then came June, as a backlash. In July, it all stabilised and became Summer for real. Can’t remember I experienced [...]

My supermarket

Since we moved to the neighbourhood we’re living in, we have not that many choices in where to buy our groceries. There’s only one place and it’s not particularly well-assorted, nor particularly pretty.  Usually, we go elsewhere, by car, but when there are only a few things missing, we go here. First thing you notice [...]

Look

These photos are from a short walk in the botanical garden in Lund. Warm weather has arrived and not only do trees and plants wake up, also people seem to come out from their winter sleep. There is something to see where ever you look. Athletic men A beautiful woman Lovely flowers

What district?

I know, Lund is that small it has no districts. Spotted this on the way home from having seen a movie (King’s speech). The room seemed completely empty, no party whatsoever. There’s a trend now, to decorate with coloured light, you know, warm lights for this feeling and cold light for that other, and so [...]
