If you ever visit my hometown, Stockholm, I highly recommend taking the retro tram. There’s even a “fika edition” (of course) where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee while watching the city life roll by outside the window.
I’ve been working on the design for my “new” Bear blog over at robertbirming.com. There’s still a lot I want to do, but it’s getting there. To be honest, I’ve really missed the styling part of Bear (and other things too, for that matter). It’s just so… easy.
Since I still haven’t been able to decide about mixing short and long posts, here’s my previous one, but on my other blog (you can never have too many blogs, right? 😅): Happy cinnamon bun day
Happy cinnamon bun day
It’s Cinnamon Bun Day in Sweden! The perfect excuse for an extra fika (as if we needed one).

So sad, so beautiful, so good. I loved it! The acting was amazing, and the story creeps deeper and deeper under your skin with every new scene. Great soundtrack too.
A video from one of the clients I visited yesterday. It might look like the home of a hoarder, but it wasn’t. It belonged to a true book lover! Every room in the basement looked like this, and the living area upstairs was super cozy.
Haunted by ambitions
Ambition can be a spark, but for me it often turns into a shadow. Some thoughts on recognizing the pattern and learning to ease up.
Värmdö, Sweden — I stopped for a coffee between jobs and had this foggy fairytale view from my table. Sometimes the surroundings wake you up even more than the caffeine in the cup. Such a wonderful way to recharge.
Skarpnäck, Sweden — this is the picture many people have of my home country, Sweden. And to be honest, it’s not far from the truth. You’ll find plenty of houses like this, especially out in the countryside or scattered around the archipelago.
Just watched: Speak No Evil (2022) 🍿
An unsettling feeling that kept growing as the story unfolded. What began as small discomforts turned into something almost unbearable by the end. A thought-provoking and disturbing film that stays with you long after the credits roll.
