At a banquet in the late 1980s, a delegation from the #Visby #Tolkien Society gave the ivy on St. Olaf's ruin to the Stockholm Tolkien Society as a diplomatic gift. I am pleased to report to all my fellow Stockholm Tolkienians that our ivy is doing well.

Den här filuren hade jag en tråd om nyligen på X. Ett av många konton som blockat mig fast vi aldrig interagerat.
"Alexander Edbom, 35, har pekats ut som en av de centrala personerna i SD:s trollfabrik.

Expressen kan nu avslöja att han under flera år har hyllat Putin, spridit Kremls propaganda och lagt skulden för kriget på Ukraina."

Despite the serious subject, I can't help but find this funny. Look at this corner of Lärbro churchyard's little Jewish quarter, surrounded by a low shrubbery. It was originally rectangular. But then the parish discovered that the death camp victim they had buried second from the end was a Gentile with an Italian name. 1/2

Rauks are ancient fossilised coral reefs that survived when the surrounding soft laminated limestone eroded away after the Ice Age. #Gotland #geology

Hundreds of Polish Catholics and Jews liberated from death camps in 1945 were treated at a military hospital in north #Gotland. Many of them died and were buried in Lärbro churchyard.

Around sunrise, we heard an angry knock on our bedroom's French door. A pheasant cock was attacking his own reflection in the glass.

Hörrni it-snubbar, det häringa med Linux? Är det något som är möjligt att lära sig för en insnöad windows-kvinna? Är det användarvänligt över huvud taget?

I've got a couple of really messed up books by the famous archaeologists Wilhelm Holmqvist and Nils Åberg, complete but falling apart. So I checked what it would cost to get them cloth-bound. It would cost roughly ten times the price of ordering well-preserved copies of the same books. Plus sales tax. 🙄

Riding a ferry to #Gotland to celebrate 25 years with a significant someone built in Hangzhou, I discover that the ship was built in Guangzhou. ♥️

As a boy over 40 years ago I used to play 1950s #boardgames at my friend's house. They looked ancient to me. Today I still play some of the games I bought in the mid-80s. Suddenly I realise that my 80s games are now much older than those 50s games were when we played them.

Our youngest child is looking for student housing in Lund. She's leaving in August or September. Many mixed feelings. <3
