Brain eaten; normal service to resume.

[mrissa]

Look, I do a lot less personal detail blogging than I used to back in the glory days of livejournal. I have the urge a lot less. And in general I think this is a good thing. In general I don’t want you to feel like you will know where I am at all times, and who with, and what we had for supper.

Occasionally, though, there’s something that makes a big brain-eating chunk. Like trying to figure out the details of a complicated multi-generational multi-leg trip to Sweden and surrounding areas for later this year. That is the sort of thing that can take up a great deal of a person’s mental energy.

Ideally this will be sorted soon with tickets and hotels and all, and I can go back to theorizing about this and ranting about that and reviewing the other thing. In the meantime if you have any can’t-miss items in Stockholm or Uppsala or even Luleå, do say.

My favorite shops in Stockholm are in Norrmalm on Kungsgatan, very central, and they are Iris Hantverk (for their linens) and Krabat 53 (for their fun, kitschy toys and posters; the children's Krabat is directly across the street). I always have coffee and pastry at Vete-Katten on the same street, it's very old school and pleasant.

Lovely, good to know, thank you.

I expect that there will be time to wander off without our family in Stockholm, and while I have ideas of my own already and they will have things to tell us to do without them, more ideas are always better. I really appreciate this.

The Vasa Museet, but you probably know all about that already. (http://www.vasamuseet.se/en) ()

Indeed, but a good reminder of something wonderful.
