The weather hasn’t been too bad so far, but it’s patchy and good light is hard to get. There are moments when there is more blue sky than clouds, but that doesn’t last for long and then you’re standing there waiting again with camera in hand. But I’m used to these conditions and I don’t…
What a surprise. After exhausting my energy yesterday, I felt downright lethargic today. I spent most of the day sitting on the sofa, wondering occasionally if I should try to do something useful. But what the heck, it’s my day off. If I want to sit down and do nothing, then should just do it…
It’s the national day in Sweden today, which pretty much only means that it’s a day off. I have been working some late nights in the recent weeks and felt that I could use more time off than just one day, so I took out Wednesday and Friday as well and now I’m enjoying a…
I checked Top Sport in Bruksvallarna. They had the right model, but wrong size – so no ski boots for me. I’ll have to try again next winter. But as long as I have snowshoes, I’m fine. I had an ambitious plan for yesterday, I was going to hike up to Kariknallen (even if you…
Gotta love these Easter breaks. 5 days off, it’s a mini-vacation! The only place to be during Easter is the mountains, so I drove to the cabin already on Wednesday evening. I’m glad I have the fireplace now… even though my neighbour had turned up the heat, it was still a bit chilly in the…
I think I achieved some kind of personal record of doing nothing. I had decided to do an afternoon hike so I had all morning to do… nothing. The only meaningful (if you can call it that) thing I did was to write the previous blog post. Well, I did say that this was a…
Welcome to the 21st century – I now have Internet in the cabin! I got myself a modem from Net1 and it turns out that the signal is really good. I have a pay-by-day subscription so I only pay for the days I use the net, perfect for the occasional visits to the cabin. One…
Unusually, I’m waiting until Tuesday to write about something that happened last weekend… Although there’s almost no point in going to the cabin on Saturday and coming back on Sunday, I did it anyway. I had a few small things I had to take care of and even I didn’t have the luxury of time,…
It’s officially the last day of the season – Djupdalsvallen closes today. It’s my favourite waffle place so naturally I had to have a waffle there and celebrate (or commiserate) the last day of my holiday; I will leave in the morning tomorrow so there will be no more hiking then. When I got to…
I had no idea what to do today. There is one subject matter I have not touched all week and that’s waterfalls and I did kind of think of shooting at a brook nearby, but the day was too sunny for that (can’t complain though). So I spent the morning taking care of some odds…
