The breakfast of champions never really is due to there hardly being any champions. How can there be champions when there is no fight to finally win? No weapon to finally put in its final resting place and no enigmatic villain you secretly have the hots for?

I consume media where not even the heroes bed each other. It all stops at a chaste kiss and then something happens before they can consummate. He says “I will be back tonight” he never is.

The next kiss of autumn came in wet and sloppy. The lady at the bus stop could have asked if I ever considered leaving but Swedes would never do such a thing. Talk to a stranger at a bus stop or ask any of us I we wish to leave.

No, I’m lying. The lady yesterday was very friendly as we talked about busses running late, wild boars on the streets and toppled over 18-wheeler. But we never spoke of leaving.

I’ve started to employ counter measures for what is coming. The daylight lamp stands ready.

Late october frost put it jaws softly around it and forced its crystal blooms to spread on each strand of grass. I am here now, as you know that I would be, if whispers all seduction and chill. You belong in my realm.

And all your heated boxes in the north will not protect you.

I might not take time to do yoga but a few cat/cow exercises loosens the small of my back in the morning. Most of the plants are basil I brought in from the green house.

My two chillies. Tequila sunrise and I have to recheck the name of the other one. I’m mainly drying them this year to turn into chilli flakes to use in chili con carne.

Went to the hairdresser and ended up with the exact same hairdo but with less frizz. I guess the 70-ies inspiration stays?

Im back home after working at a Viking larp for a week. Resting up and then heading out again on Monday for a second larp.

Elderflower ice tea.

I made a batch of elderflower syrup with freshly picked flowers from one of our trees, hot water and lemons. After they steeped for 3 days I strained of the flowers and lemon slices and added sugar and brought it to a boil. Last night I made cold brewed tea and left in the fridge and this morning I made ice tea with 1/3 elderflower syrup and 2/3 cold brew tea.

Anten-Gräfsnäs museum train was my chosen activity for this fine summer day. The smell of the burning coals from the locomotive engine, the Swedish summer landscape passing by the window.

Time for a cup of tea and a shortbread biscuit from Edinburgh. Swedish fika is a lovely tradition. #swedishfika
