Jag förstår - det är inte lätt för svenskar att förstå danska. Men är det inte bättre att omfamna språkbarriärerna och övervinna dem tillsammans istället för att undvika dem genom att byta till engelska? thelocal.se/20240320/opini…

Felt a weird feeling in my nose on the way to preschool pick-up this afternoon - finally I realised it was my nose ring cooling down in the -10C temperature outside! 🥶

Last week, @McrMuseum returned 174 objects to the Aboriginal Anindilyakwa community of Australia’s Northern Territory. "It felt personally quite emotional, in a good way — they're sort of tears of joy rather than tears of sadness," says head of collections Georgina Young.

If you ever feel like you’re being overshadowed just remember that today Prince Daniel turns 50 on the same day that his father in law, King Carl XVI Gustaf celebrates 50 years on the throne. Must be a bit like having your birthday on Christmas Day 🙃

I know this is a private supper, but I can't help but read it as a fancy way of saying they're hosting a piss-up at the palace. "The King and Queen do not supa, they 'supé'".

There’s clearly a reason the Swedish word for autumn (höst) is the same as the Danish word for harvest (høst). A selection of this week’s veg harvest - cucumbers and kale from the allotment and tomatoes from the balcony 🥒🍅🥬 still not quite ready for summer to be over though!
