Today, we were supposed to present a story and a film about the island of Oxsten in Lake Mälaren (unexpectedly exciting!), but Peter's new Mac is at the doctor's for an indefinite period of time, so that will have to wait...

Then we walked past a canal where a beaver had taken up residence. We could see the trees that he had split in half, but of course we couldn't see the beaver.
