Pinch Punch…

I woke up from a series of horrible nightmares this morning. I'm not sure what brought them on but they really fucked with my head and I was a zombie until about midday. I snapped out of it when I realised that I'd got the laundry booked at my old building and that I'd promised to help out the Fam with some computer issues. The apartment is coming along nicely, the floor is down in all rooms now and the cupboards are up too. It's beginning to take shape.
I took the first four of these photo's the other day, it was only a fleeting visit to the apartment before I realised I wasn't feeling too well - I ended up spending the rest of the day in bed with a fever...

The last three pictures are from today. When I got to my apartment I found that they had replaced the hallway cupboard, the bathroom cupboards are in and so is the bedroom wardrobe.

Yesterday was a celebratory day here in Sweden. The last of April is the day that bonfires are burnt to, some say, get rid of the Easter Witches, making sure that they all bugger off to Blåkulla and not seduce the little 'uns with their sweeties... it's an old tale and rather disturbing too, but it does bring about a sense of Spring as all the BBQ's are dusted off and the smell of flaming flesh engulfs the air, along with the occasional firework - nothing like Diwali mind you, but still festive. However, the day (also known as Walpurgis Night) brings with it the dread of Swedes embarking on their traditional drunken mayhem, and the news was unfortunately full of it. Including a snippet about a hundred or so that were kicked out of Denmark for rowdy behaviour and arrested on their arrival back in Sweden... Pinch-Punch... although a lot of Swedes will have you believe that this is a normal Friday night out for them, and even more normal for Helsingør in Denmark where it all kicked off...
I myself refrained from the evenings shenanigans (for obvious reasons) and watched a movie instead. Although I did treat myself to a low alcohol beer... yum!

By The Lake

Whilst taking my daily walk today, I couldn't help but notice that the water on the lake was so still that it looked eerily wrong...

Lake Malaren

The mirror-like surface was like nothing I'd seen whilst walking this route these past few years. Made a nice picture though... quality is iPhone so not the best...
