This is the park that's literally a minute away from my office at CHESS. It's incredible. Technically the part that starts right outside my office is called Bellevuesparken and it's on a lake called Brunnsviken, but it turns into this huge park called Hagaparken that is so gorgeous and that has Gustav III's pavilion and the copper tents although I haven't walked up far enough to see them yet. The day I took these pictures it was really starting to feel like fall, and people were out working on their boats and getting them ready for the winter. I was sitting on a bench watching these ducks listening to the Sea and Cake feeling half happy and half homesick.

This is the little snaps sampler pack they sell at System Bolaget. It is truly awesome.

I bought this "five years daybook," or "5 års dagbok" at DesignTorget. It doesn't have the dates associated with days of the week, so the idea is that you can use it in different years. The pictures aren't great but it is so elegant, with its tiny weather icons and it has the traditional alamanac thing of which names are supposed to be used for babies born on that day (dagens namn).
