Much better. Wetsera, a 130 year old square-rigger in Öregrund harbour.

Instant noodles have come a long way since the rubbery stuff I had as a student. Just discovered this Grandma's Noodles brand which are delicious. Tagliatelli-like noodles, and sauces in satchels instead of powdered
A 4-pack of Grandma's Noodles, Dan Dan flavored. It has a very appetizing picture on it of a bowl of noodles with vegetables and meat.

Lifted a sheet in the backyard, found a gorgeous copper lizard playing dead. Looks like a snake but you can see by their tiny mouths that they are lizard

Two solar panels out of 8 in place on our garage. That was scary, they are heavy, unwieldy, expensive and made of glass and it was high up. #greensky

Saturday fun - helping friends in Mariefred cut down their 2000 liter (500 gallon) diesel tank in the cellar used for heating. It was replaced by a quiet and efficient heat pump a year ago. Another little step for the green transition.

Turns out Milan has a large Chinatown. Huge number of restaurants and street food, we tried Jiao10 which was a great place. Special spring menu right now with tropical beef stew with passion fruit.

At the Feltrinelli Librerie bookstore in Milan. I finished Nettle and Bone by @tkingfisher.com on my first day of vacation. Good book, quick read. Next up Katabasis by R.F. Kuang and Calling Bullshit by @carlbergstrom.com #booksky

Ordered solar panels for €2000 from solproffset.se over the weekend, plus fixed up the bike and took it in to Stockholm. Mälartåget has places for bikes, including a seat belt so it stays put.

Mushroom picking today. Found an undisturbed little troll forest with some excellent mosses, and also chanterelles. Not enough for an autumn stew, but a fried mushroom toast

Almost finished. It's well written, but also so damn bloody and depressing, so I've been struggling to finish it. Having a thematically appropriate jalapeño infused tequila drink at Pava to cheer me up

One week of hard work coming up. Lets hope the stanchions hold or we risk getting a metric ton of ship over us. (Never happened in the history of the dock, but one time has to be the first)

Vaxholm fortress, built in 16th C, renovated in 19thC, but the renovation took half a century. When it was finished modern weapons and destroyers had already made it obsolete. Legend has it von Moltke only laughed a few times in his life - seeing this renovated fortress was one of those times
