Ah, the siren call of the forest and the shimmering lake! Even the grumpy duet of arthritis and diabetes couldn't keep me away from my sacred Saturday stroll. 🚶🌲☀️ At least ...this Saturday!!!
Consider this my triumphant return to nature's embrace, where the only pain is the occasional rogue pebble in my shoe. 😉

US embassy presses Stockholm City Council to stop DEI
SERIOSULY? Expanding their MAGA fascist tentacles across the ocean and try to interfere into a foreign (and an ally) city’s internal policies? SERIOSULY?

Ove's Wednesday unravelled! 😩 Missed bus, chaotic passengers, delayed train. Arrived late for the dreaded doctor's appointment. Universe conspiring? 😠 Just needs strong coffee & maybe a miracle cure! ☕🙏

Since we are into changing names (Gulf of Mexico and now the Persian Gulf) can we change Trump Golf into Wanker Golf or Conman Golf?
When your voters, audience and ‘fun’ base are illiterate, uncultured MAGA, of course you threaten to tariff subtitled cinema!!!

In a country where democracy was born and the word elefthería –freedom- was once sacred; Kyriakos Mitsotakis has managed to turn World Press Freedom Day into a darkly ironic commemoration of everything his administration seems to despise: truth, accountability, and independent journalism.

A fishing village, in the bottom of Sweden’s apple county and the local delicacy ...omelette with bacon!!!
No joke now, Kivik is absolutely FA-NTA-STIC and the high light of the short break was the visit to the apple-juice factory, Kiviks Musteri!!!

Should Modi start worrying? ...a bit? 😂 😜
What the hell JD Vance did again?
Though the Mediterranean's embrace shaped me, these tranquil waters now whisper secrets to the heart. Each ripple, a thought. Each reflection, a dream. Drifting here dissolves the self, merging with the mirrored sky. Happy Easter! Glad påsk! Hyvää pääsiäistä kaikille! Feliz Pascua! Sretan Uskrs! Joyeuses Pâques! 🥚🌸✨

The way he re-writes history I won’t be surprised if one day we will find out that the South won the Civil War but ...Joe Biden ringed the history books!!!
Trump's suing 60 Minutes? Reality TV's back, folks! "Fake news," he cries, aiming to turn the First Amendment into a golf towel. Is this democracy or a discount Putin's Russia?

Forest on the left 🌲, lake on the right 🌊, and me in the middle! Sunday noon stroll near Växjö, keeping an eye out for mythical creatures (spoiler: just squirrels)
BUT! It ended in the most glorious tea brunch EVER! ☕✨ Scones? Oh, you bet! Earl Grey? Naturally! 😋 Honestly, the perfect end to a woodland wander. 🍰💖
