Just read: MyStatus: brew your own status site using Cloudflare Workers

Cool creation by Mighil, and it was easy enough to setup. Not sure if I’ll use it actively, but I’m gonna play around some more with it.

Listening to: First Light by Lana Del Rey 🎵

I love it! Great balance between classic Bond soundtrack and Lana vibes. I have a feeling it will be my most played song this month.

Found this hidden trail that never seemed to end during my coffee break today. You never know what you’ll find when you keep your eyes open.

Listening to: Keep the Streets Empty for Me by Fever Ray 🎵

Watching the Norwegian Detective Hole series reminded me of this awesome song by Swedish artist Fever Ray.

This lovely little retro toy car has a built-in radio you can turn on with a switch. No batteries or charging, simply wind it up with a key and you’re ready to roll.

Trying on my new individually adapted face mask for work, as required by the new rules from the Swedish Work Environment Authority.

Just got myself this year’s Majblomma pin. Every spring in Sweden, kids go around selling them. New design each year. The money goes to children in need and it’s been a tradition since 1907. Simple idea. Beautiful tradition. 🌸

A Saturday evening in Stockholm so quiet that it looks like someone went all-in with an eraser tool.

Finished watching: Uniformen 📺

Yet another great watch by the neighbors in Denmark. They really are masters at creating gripping stories without getting too sentimental.

Stumbled upon this cool little fisherman’s cabin at work.

Finished watching: Hundarna 📺

I wouldn’t have finished it if it hadn’t been a Swedish show. There’s something captivating when the story takes place in your hometown and even your own neighbourhood. It keeps you hooked.

Finished watching: Project Hail Mary 🍿

I liked it. Not among my favorite sci-fi movies, but definitely worth watching.

I’m going through the photos from my latest trip and found this one. There’s something apocalyptic about it, like the past is sending us a message about what future awaits if we don’t sort things out.

Decided to merge my last two add-ons into one Blogging by numbers page. Quite happy with the result. 🗓️📊

Finished watching: Kate Bush: The Timeless Genius 🍿

Interesting documentary about an even more interesting, fascinating, and fantastic artist.

Finished watching: Captain Phillips 🍿

Great movie! It almost feels like a documentary. I’m guessing some of the crew weren’t even actors. One of Tom Hanks’ best performances ever.

Finished watching: Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 📺

One of my favorite shows. Every season is great, no episode a filler.

Listening to: Lucky Again by Lykke Li 🎵

Love this new single by one of my favorite Swedish artists, and her track ”I Follow Rivers” is still one of my all-time favorite songs.

This statue by Swedish artist Mats Wikström made me stop while walking by the water in Nacka today. The title, translated into English, is “Long live the fight for a reasonably free Norrland.”

xz/fonts was new to me. Nice alternative. I’ve added it to the fonts section on the Blogger’s toolbox page.

Finished watching: Armadillo 🍿

A great Danish documentary, though not exactly uplifting, especially given the state of the world right now. War will never make sense.

Finished watching: The Nun – 25 years in a convent 🍿

Interesting follow-up. Fascinating to see that, 25 years later, she still has that calm, honest conviction and dedication.

Finished reading: An Evil Mind by Chris Carter 📚

Even though this was my least favorite in the series so far, it’s still a solid 4/5. Many more to go.

I spotted this cool record store while I was at work today. I love that there are still places like this around. Sometimes the perseverance of the past gives hope for the future.
