tea at IKEA

So I dropped by IKEA and the shopping area around it with some friends. What a hysterical place...

Haven't been there for ages and ages and since last visit they had managed to put up some new buildings, opened loads of new shops and rearranged the old ones. One thing remains though - the caravans that come during the summer!

<= This is what I had, some black tea.







This is what the others had,
things with animals on... =>

Matti Kallionen - The beautiful robot

Matti Kallionen - The beautiful robot - another time The "new" harbour currently hosts a piece of art (see the picture) called "The beautiful robot" by Matti Kallionen.

wild flowers...



...today is apparently "de vilda blommornas dag", perhaps best translated into "the day dedicated to wild flowers", over here.


Quite nice initiative if I may say so. I like flowers, especially wild ones (nature's perfection instead of a gardener's). Got plenty in the jungle called garden over here ;)

Beowulf

"Beowulf - an old English epic poem celebrating the legendary Scandinavian hero Beowulf. Generally dated to the 8th century, it was the first major poem in a European vernacular language and is the only complete Germanic epic that survives. It describes Beowulf's killing of the water monster Grendel and its mother and his death in combat with a dragon, and includes both pagan and Christian elements."

More about "Beowulf"


Charming in some way.
