breakfast with a view

i’m working from home today as the office aircon is still on the blink. so here’s some Stockholm pictures instead !
Our hotel room was on the 4th floor so we had room service bring the breakfast and we sat by the window watching the world go by whilst eating ham and cheese sandwiches.

olympics

the olympics have finished and the british atheletes have returned victorious (so i hear on the wireless news forecast). people have a new found interest in sport and have impromtu races whilst going about their daily business.
today, for example, someone has set up some parallel bars which can also be used as hurdles for races up and down edgware road. or ‘The’ edgware road as some people call it.

the services incorporated a number of signs:
