Cripes!


Can't stop snacking.

Another reason to love the internet


The frames I picked out online on Tuesday night arrived today. I selected a pair and filled in the handy dandy form. The brother marked my pupils' positions on the lenses (Muchos thankies brother!) using the pen that was sent along with the frames. I closed the box using the sticker that had a pre-printed return address and postage paid impression.

Now, all I need to do is stick the box in a mailbox and in a few days, it will be "goodbye squinty!" Much cheaper than buying from a brick-and-mortar store too!

Last post for today


Talk about posting overload!

Anyway, finally had my fika and can report that being dipped in chocolate does nothing for a meringue.

At least I tried


Resisted the urge to pay a visit to The English Shop when I passed Söderhallarna on the way to the train station.

Unfortunately, no commuter trains were running because of an accident and that meant that I had to take the subway and the bus instead.

Before leaving the train station, I spotted the M&M's ad below and then I had to pass Söderhallarna again on the way to the subway. That is when I caved in.

Welcome to Sweden, M&M's!


Äntligen här! = Finally here!

Although they sell M&M's at The English Shop --- and briefly sold them at the neighborhood grocery store --- M&M's are only now becoming widely available here. Too bad that Pressbyrån, the chain that carries them, is the local version of 7-Eleven and thus has ouchy prices.
