Swedes in the sun

The winter sun has been a godsend this week. I can see why people go wild for skiing, as the air does have a very clear quality. I remember the same stall holder in this picture tending her vegetables in the same spot in the market in the first days I moved to Cambridge. She’s a mainstay, as is her fun purple jumper. Back then the Covid poster was but a distant twinkle in all of our eyes.

Daily observation: if you forget to take your mask off before getting on your bike, it’ll serve as a useful muff against the cold air. Unexpected benefits.

I’ve been glued to the horror show in the US, as many of us have. The horror show that is inching torturously to a successful closure. Trump is utterly loathsome from hairpiece to toe. What else can be said about that orange-coloured stain on world history.
