Sweden, I

One of the great things about having a really portable job is that you can have extensive holidays whilst working at your usual rate. Thus it happens that this week I've been in Sweden, writing Torah by day and spending time with livredor by night.

I like Sweden very much.

( Sweden and Food )

( Sweden and Architecture )

We had a super Shabbat, which I shall put in a separate post.

Sweden, II

livredor and I spent Shabbat in the centre of Stockholm, borrowing a flat in the city centre for convenience's sake.

And it was really, really nice.
