Making the transition from winter to spring along Stockholm's Strandvägen.
Sun seeking in front of Dramaten.
Oh yes I am ready for it. Aren’t we all at this time of year? But while it feels tantalizingly close, spring is not quite busting out all over for us just yet in Stockholm. The last few days have been gloriously sunny and Stockholmers have been out in full force, walking, cycling, eating and drinking outside and just sitting in the sun. The outdoor furniture at restaurants is coming back out. But yesterday it was only 8 degrees c (that’s 46 in fahrenheit) and while the sun was shining, it was definitely cool in the shadows. I keep looking for things to start blooming, but other than the pansies I’ve seen in planters, nothing seems to be poking out of the ground yet – although I did hear rumors today that things are starting to come up here and there.
We went on daylight savings time this weekend. In Swedish, it’s called sommartider or summer time. I like that. And here’s another one for you: yesterday was väffeldagen or waffle day. It was on the Swedish calendar. How funny is that?
