Guests

I've had some guests at my house over the weekend. Yoko and her friend Nao came here on the national day last friday from Scotland where they are currently studying. As their guide I showed them Old Town and the royal castle, and then took them to see Götheborg that is still docked in Stockholm. After that I kinda ran out of ideas. I don't know enough interesting things to see in my own town. The girls wanted to see Pippi's house at Junibacken so we took the ferry over to Djurgården, but the entrance fee was more than we wanted to pay so we never went inside. Once at home we had meatballs with creamsauce for dinner and watched Howl's Moving Castle.
Nao left the next day for Copenhagen and unfortunately I had to work so I couldn't hang out much with Yoko the rest of the days while she was here. I hope you still had a good time Yoko!

Free Time

I've been so tired, exhausted, ever since my first day at work last thursday. Due to a In Flames concert the amusement part and surrounding areas was crowded by more people than usual. No time for closing preparations with customers ordering icecreams and hot dogs nonstop, and when we finally closed the place a boss came and whisked my co-worker away. So there I was, cleaning, all alone on my first day. But I didn't mind much. Overtime means more money. Only it became 3 ½ hours overtime and that was longer than I wanted to work. That was a loooong day. But I've had time off since yesterday and it's been bliss. Yesterday I, my sister and her boyfriend went to take a look at the swedish east indiaman "Götheborg" that is currently docked in Stockholm. I wanted to go on board but it was too expensive for me, so we just watched it from the docks. After that we ate some icecream. Yum. And walked through a pretty graveyard.

What are you people doing up there?

Götheborg

Today I've been exploring Bergianska Trädgården, which is a garden in Stockholm. It was my first visit there today and I was dissapointed with what they had to offer. Not as many colourful flowers as I would have liked, but I still got some nice shots. I edited the colours and discovered how much fun it can be. I've never really bothered before with editing my photos but I think I'll do it a lot from now on.
