Waiting for the explosion!

Autumn, my personal favorite among seasons, is here!
I'm still waiting for the explosion of colors, as the leaves chance in to a more mature palette, but I love the calm and more relaxed season. It brings on time for reflection, a chance to sit at home and watch movies, drink tea and chat about everything. I am looking forward to the release of all the winter catalogs, filled with inspiration for the wardrobe.

I feel restless, not knowing what is in store for me. The near future is turning out to be filled with questions that seeks answers. Right now I just enjoy the days and hours that slowly pass me by, stroking my senses and my inquisitive mind.

Stockholm's Day

The date 080808 is Stockholm's Day, as far as the locals are concerned. It's an evening filled with friendly 'water-war', party, fireworks and dancing the night away. This is because 08 is the area code for Stockholm (national phone code's local number). So everybody's going a bit crazy this Friday, or should I say crazier?
Children born today get a lifetime's free pass to Gröna Lund, the amusement park in the city. People who's birthday is today get to enter for free this lovely day.
7.000 people signed up for a friendly water-war between the north side and the south side of the city. I belong to the south side, so I hope we won! :) The water-war was supposed to take place in Gamla Stan (The Old City), a small central island, but it turned out to be too small! They moved the water-war to the much bigger part of the city called Östermalm. That's where my workplace is, but it was calm when I left, lucky me.
