Stockholm days

Our few days holiday in Stockholm last week was quite hectic, we didn't even remember to post any pictures to the blog!











This is not from Stockholm! But before going to Stockholm we had a few days up north to visit my family. I don't know why but I usually get to mow the lawn when I come home. Not a very painful work to do though. The small house in the background is the guest house that we've built from an old hay barn, Maki and I usually stay here when we come home.



















Most of the time in Stockholm we spent fixing the appartment. Here Maki with a new technique to oil the floors without getting soar back or dirty hands. After oiling and painting it is now hopefully in a condition good enough for finding a buyer, we'll see next week when the agency will try to sell it.











But we also had to see Skylar (the boat) and take her from winter storage place in Bromma to Kungsholmen where we live and have the summer place. This gave us a short opportunity to go out for a spin around the city, here in the canal between Kungsholmen and Norrmalm. It was really nice to go out for a ride with the boat, this is one of the things I miss the most in Tokyo.











To see Stockholm from the water is fantastic. Here's the view from just outside the city hall.

Now we are back in a rainy Tokyo. In a few weeks the summer will start and it will be hot and humid. Too bad we don't have a boat here :)

On Saturday I will go up to Saroma in Hokkaido for the 100km race starting early Sunday morning. I'll let you know how it goes...
