30.03 - Friday Mattari
Grandma is so sweet. Yesterday was my name day, an occassion the older generations of Swedes are very fond of celebrating, so she bought a new waffle iron just to cook us some waffles for lunch.
Oh, and perhaps you can enjoy playing "Guess The Stringed Instrument". Hint: Mum bought it in a city called Leningrad at the time.

24.03 - Thinking about time
60 years since my grandparents said that big yes to each other.
They had a little more than three beautiful decades together.
A little more than three beautiful decades together with a beloved one.
Sounds great, doesn't it?
Still, mum was barely 26 when grandpa passed away.
I'm 26 now.

Q: Do you know any bands from Switzerland?
A: Uhm... Is Dj Bobo a band?
And that clock tower is actually different from the one pictured 17.03.

14.03 - Paella
Walked down to Tuna Motell (you know the white trashy motel/restaurant/convenience store/post office) in S-Town for some more postal errands, and on my way back home I was again asked a Europe-related question.
From a small mountain situated right behind the motel, three young girls, 7yrs perhaps, shout at me: Hey you down there, is Europe a part of Sweden?

The local convenience store/restaurant/motel/bar(?) also serves as a post office, and since I was going to mail an invoice to Japan I went there to get some postage. After checking the address on my envelope the girl, in her early twenties I believe, kindly asks me: Is Japan in Europe?
