Yesterday

I had one of those days yesterday where I was working in the city all day but I had time between lessons. It was cold and icy but the sun was shining and it had stopped snowing so I could wander around enjoying the sunshine.

This restaurant is really pushing the Viking theme for the tourists. Being a Viking was an occupation rather than an ethnic group, and Vikings never had horns on their helmets. Despite this, tourist shops are full of horned helmets.

You can also see a postal delivery bicycle in the photo. They have winter tyres to cope with the ice, and the  post has to be delivered even in extremely low temperatures. There is a negotiated limit in certain areas of Sweden where post is not delivered if it is colder than -38°C/-36.4°F

These two cars were beside each other. Later in the day they had been moved and it was Sad to the left of Hoe
