Ireland is lovely. There’s sun and rain and green hills and steep cliffsites. Bars on every street and Catholic masses. We’re doing our best dodging the holiday spirit and chilling out as hard as possible. Amid sleep-ins, long walks, reading books and watching Full Metal Alchemist my body is starting…

Holidays incoming
And the carcass of the beast Left over from the feast May still be found haunting the kitchen And there’s life in it yet We may live to regret When the ones that we poisoned stop twitching Merry Christmas and happy new year to those who are so inclined. Myself…

This new year
Right then. So the Earth has once again passed that arbitrary point in its orbit which we define as the beginning and the end of a year. The entire event went by without much celebration on my part, since some abstract entity or other saw it fit that I should…

Where the heart is
Back in Sweden. Everything is the same, but I’m different. A year of mostly travelling has changed me. Not to mention the way I see the world. It feels smaller and friendlier, now that I’ve circumnavigated it. This ground is familiar, but the sky feels strange now that I know…

Easter break
So I had an easter break. Best easter break ever. I had so many adventures and so much fun that it apparently resulted in a total writer’s block. When it comes to blogging, at least. One of the many awesome things I did during these past three weeks was to…

Rain in Akaroa (and a possum!)
Kinda like that, yeah. It’s been raining horizontally of late. At least there were no floodings or jetskiing on the streets this time around. Went on a trip to Akaroa, with the intention of going on a boat trip and hopefully seeing dolphins. But the weather was too stormy for…

Mount John Observatory
I joined a couple of observers on their trip to Mount John Observatory for a few nights. What a place of science, beauty and adventure! Running around on a grassy mountain, swimming in a clear and cold Lake Tekapo, watching an absolutely gorgeous night sky. The southern sky really is…
