Word for the day - biskvi

My Mum came to stay! And took lots of lovely photos of my house (because it tended to be sunny whilst we were inside, and miserable when we were out!), so I thought it was about time to talk about Bromma like I said I would about a month ago when I moved in.

The most important resident is naturally Misha, who is a total sweetheart. And deaf as a post, so it is highly possible to sneak up on her, even if you are trying not to. There is nothing you can do to stop her getting on the table (it is the way to her window exit after all), but I do wish she wouldn't put her bum in my face whilst I eat breakfast quite so much.

The colours in the photos of the flat look somewhat over saturated. They aren't. It is seriously bright and busy!

Sally was thinking that the little chap in the photo looked a lot like Nosh, until she looked closer and saw the passport photo of Nosh these days in the corner of the frame. Then she realised the disturbing truth - he still makes exactly the same face.

Mum and I did go out as well as taking photos of the flat. We saw the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace (by total luck, not careful planning), Took the boat from Djurgarden to Slussen and watched people voluntarily being flipped upside down on one of the rides in Grona Lund, and even went to work for a bit on Sunday.

The best bit was when they all ran out to this line in time with each other, but we missed it with the camera!

 We also found the most delicious macaroons I have ever tasted (other than the ones Kathleen and JH made, naturally). I have since managed to go back to the shop whilst I was supposed to be queuing in the tax office. The Queue was so long I got away with it.

This photo makes it look like I taper to a point with no legs. Which isn't true, and will be especially untrue as long as I can get a supply of the caramel macaroons.

Delicious. I've also had a Sally visit since then, which she might blog about at some point, if the big move to Munich permits. Suffice to say it was a delightful few days, featuring much tempura, cinema-ing and visiting of Stockholm eating establishments. I believe she also did some serious research in to how to win a Nobel, so I confidently expect to see her when she comes back for the award ceremony in December.

Hejdå!
