I am one of those people that is always up-to-date with the current weather forecast. And I often chat with the meteorologists at SMHI. Yesterday, they told me that I could expect warm weather and a lot of sunshine over the next five days. This morning they said, never mind about what we said yesterday, we take it all back.
Definitely the Swedish word of the day around Stockholm. Vårkänsla. Sring feeling. Could maybe get 12 C locally today. Fingers crossed.

Now in its sixth generation as a family business, the fine Austrian glassware maker J. & L. Lobmeyr was founded in 1823 by Joseph Lobmeyr, who, from his little shop in the heart of Vienna, became Purveyor to the Imperial Court. The glasses are still mouth-blown, cut, engraved and polished by hand. As the company focuses on the contemporary interpretation of glass, it never stops cultivating its heritage, marked by the ground-breaking collaborations with legendary designers in the likes of Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, Ted Muehling and Michael Anastassiades. Lobmeyr crystal can be found in museums’ collections including the MoMA New York, V&A London and the MAK in Vienna.”
Six hundred years ago, there were a group of really hard-working women in Stockholm. They were known as Roddarmadamer. Rowing madame's. For a fee, they would row people between all the different islands in Stockholm. They were very tough. And known for their coarse language. They were around up until a century ago. And now there is a new Rower Madam in town! Toya Westberg. Toya will row you across Riddarfjärden, to Långholmen for free. If you would like to, you can be part of her podcast. Toya is a former skier who started the Researcher's desk. A platform for dialogue between researchers/experts and civil society, schools, and decision-makers regarding the current climate and sustainability crisis. Oh, and be ready for some coarse language...
Quite long Swedish word of the day. Kärleksmumskladdkaka. Grocery shopping last evening, I got this cake as a gift from Mathem, which was nice. Delivered to my door this morning and enjoyed with whipped cream and coffee this afternoon.
I babysat a friends twin boys yesterday and when you lay them on their blanket next to each other they hold hands. I thought it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. =]
I am using this shot for my word of the day and I think it is my best one for Amore yet. Love it.
