Jobs, rabbits and a visit to Café Opera

It's Friday again, friends! Even though it may seem like we're mingling around at a lot of fun events, most of our days consist of everyday life and work. So this week we're sharing some photos from our daily walk to work. And okay, there will be some photos from an event at Café Opera too!

Animals on the way to work

I (Helena) walk to work every day, and Peter almost always walks with me. We live somewhat centrally in Stockholm (actually in Solnabut on the border with the city of Stockholm) and walk to Torsplan, in the north-west part of Vasastan. In case you're wondering how Peter's knees are doing by the way, it is not so good. He has seen an orthopaedic surgeon and is now waiting for an appointment for blood tests.

You might think that we don't see many animals on the way to my job, but that's not the case. completely error. We start in Pampas marina and there we almost always see ducks, swans or maybe "our" heron.

We then continue along the lake Karlbergssjön and here crawling it really is full of Canada geese right now. At the moment there are so many Canada geese that you have to avoid both them and their grass-coloured turds on the pavement. Incidentally, there are also plenty of squirrels here. They are too fast for my camera when they run fast across the road though ...

When we then continue under the Pampaslänken/Klarastrandsleden to enter Vasastan, we see all the rabbits living under there. Why they live there is a bit unclear, but as far as we know they have lived there for decades. Sometimes you can read about the problem of rabbits breeding rampantly in Stockholm and Solna. At the same time, many people probably think that these "pests" are cute and you sometimes see that they have hay, heads of lettuce and carrots under the bridge ...

After about 35 minutes of walking, we arrive at my job at Torsplan, and the most interesting sight there right now is the first of the two "Northern Towers". So there's not only animals and nature in Stockholm, but also a bit of a city feel. Just in case you were starting to have doubts!

Event at Café Opera

Last night we also mingled at an event at Café Opera, organised by the Dolomites. The Dolomites are the part of the Alps located in northern Italy, and we have long wanted to travel here. When we came to Val Gardena last summer it didn't turn out as planned, but as we wrote then, we want to give the area another chance. We started yesterday evening with a beer at the The brewery, which is located right next to Café Opera (on the lake side). A fantastic venue!

Brasseriet

Then we listened to a presentation about the Dolomites on the terrace of Café Opera. We got to see really amazing nature pictures with mountains, waterfalls and bike trails. So yes, we are eager to see more of this area! There was also a little Italian buffet with, among other things, vitello tonnato (veal with tuna sauce), salmon and artichoke. Very tasty! What are your experiences of the Dolomites?

What has been the best part of your week?
