The Easter witch tradition appears to be dying out. This year we weren’t visited by a single one, and our bowl of candy for appeasing the witches went uneaten.

We’re a week into April and we have yet another batch of snow, thick enough for the grass to barely peek through. Aren’t we done with this winter yet?

The Sortera head office is in Liljeholmen.

First day on a new assignment, at Sortera. From environmentally friendly urban deliveries to environmentally friendly industrial and constructional recycling. I’m excited to learn all about it.

Away travelling overnight on business. Got to the hotel late in the evening, after a four-and-a-half-hour train ride. Googled for nearby restaurants but was too tired to even choose one, so I went to the Burger King right next door. I can’t remember when I last ate there, but how bad can it be, right? People go there every day.

It really was quite bad. The fried cheese was good, but the burger was truly not an experience I want to repeat. The blandest possible white bread; pale, hard tomato; tasteless iceberg lettuce; sauce with barely any flavour. Was it always this flavourless, or has it gone downhill in recent years? Don’t know, don’t care, just have to remember to stay away. A piece of bread and a tub of yogurt from the nearest convenience store would have tasted better.

Did my talk about multi-tenancy again, for the fifth time or something. Lots of people signed up and almost all turned up to listen. So many of them came by to thank me afterwards that it was almost embarrassing, but I’m working on accepting praise with grace. But I really need to find a new topic soon.

The snowdrops are buried under snow.
