sunday markets and more


a friend asked if stockholm's overt "boatiness" got annoying and it wasn't something that had occurred to me. it's an archipelago after all, and i like bridges, so the interconnected waterways and miles and miles of waterfront real estate was more charm than cringe. but i did get the point, walking around it felt like one was never far from the water, or a boat or two. went wandering to skeppsholmen and castleholmen and tried not to blend in with the horde of chinese tourists on bikes. it was a perfect day, skies so blue they looked unreal and air of calm serenity about the place. 




went to the sunday market at hornstull but was waylaid by the floating bar. blue skies, beer, boat and palm trees - what's not to like? was also a little nostalgic (sensing the general theme here?) because it's one of the few parks where alcohol is allowed and the first time i met team oz when A.Mc organised a class picnic. i think he might've secretly been trying to get to know J better. six years -four of which they've been living together- three countries, four cities, two jobs and a couple of graduate degrees later, they're in KL and more loved up than ever in KL :))))


ok and i don't know what they put in these loaves but the bread was sensational. i'm a relatively undiscerning carbohydrate queen but even my lead palate could tell that this was something else. we saw it everywhere and wished i could've secured a steady stream of swedish bread fresh and hot on my doorstep daily. one can dream...
