Waiting for those pictures from Ikea. Maybe they have some torpedoes on discount. :haha:

Did you find IKEA yet?

There's at least one in Kiel, and two in Hannover. If you want to come over .. also Schroeder and Bl!tz, also for grilling/barbecue :) Problem is that staying overnight here is impossible at the moment, still building the house and no free room :shifty:

Has anyone heard about Penguin b.t.w. ? Last thing i heard he could not make it to Kiel, but got no return message :hmmm:

So, summer is really, really gone here. In mid August :o

I guess I should have brought a jacket...:shucks:

Yup, been a bit chilly the past two weeks or so. It *should* get warmer over the weekend. :hmmm:

Last week here in Örnsköldsvik, the coldest temperature was 4°C during the night.

Örnsköldsvik is 442km north from Stockholm. (530km by road)

Yikes! That's about as cold as I can stand. Doesn't water do funny things when it gets to zero...?:06:

Ideal time for fishing and fishing spots :Kaleun_Salivating:

If you notice people are suddenly unable to drive, or chaos ensues in traffic. That means the first snow has fallen. Or that the roads are icy. :P

It's always fun to read in the news about the chaos that's caused by the onset of winter. As if the people in southern part of Sweden forgot it's a Nordic country after all. :doh: :03:

It doesn't get as cold in Stockholm compared to up north.

Here we can get a period where it's around -20°C or colder. I live quite close to the coast. It's colder further inland,

The coldest temperature I've experienced is -30°C. Now that's cold!

Phew, in Sweden, is it as hot as in Germany? We have almost 40 degrees Celsius here :sunny::cool:

No, it's 15 today, a cool day.

What part of Germany is 40 today? My weather map shows Berlin and Hanover with 31 ...:shifty:

My room. :dead:

Hannover has been at least 35°C this afternoon, and dry as a desert. Here it is 38 in the shadows, and more than 40 in the sun. :dead:
Went out for dinner yesterday, very nice outside and temperature at 23 until 11 p.m.
Will go down from tomorrow on though..

Now it's turned chilly ans damp, raining in a subtle Swedish way. I bet the sun is still shining in Texas...:-?

At 2:45AM?
What kind of a weird place is this Texas!?

:doh:

When I first got to Stockholm in early July, the sun set at 23:30 and was back up at 01:15... true story.

Ex- trucker :shucks:

Well I'm relieved to hear that! It is a young man's game (under 45 imho) and the corporeal constant wear n' tear just sneaks up on ya'. We need u on the 'helm' of:subsim:! Hey...A DIFFERENT WORLD!!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMT98U_iilY I'll B putting my poor 150-mi. a-day patrol-driver skill 'to it' shortly as I'm returning to Scotland and will have to reverse engineer my defenses for the left side of the road...and the right side driver seat! More Aricept please!:O: And 'roundabouts R not for the faint of heart'! I'm preparing a few bumper stickers for my rental cars:D XTREME CAUTION: OLD YANK DRIVER!

Still sunny. Still Sweden. My commute to the studio
