The round wooden clothes hanger in the wardrobe needed to be removed to fit four more drawers. My Leatherman Surge with its saw blade attached did an excellent job of cutting it.
Leatherman Surge saves the day
Autumn, balcony garden moved inside
This summer we had many things growing on our balcony, both vegetables, flowers and other plants. Now the autumn has come, and since a while back the plants has moved inside, into the kitchen, and the living room. One was also placed in the bedroom, where it lived last autumn and winter.
We are planning to split and separate the banana plants into their own smaller pots, it has so many baby plants.
I want to try taking cuttings from the pelargon to propagate it, and I also plan to experiment with hydroponics on one or more of the shelves.
Stockholm Archipelago Cruise 2020-08-09
Last weekend we went on a cruise in the Stockholm archipelago with S/S Stockholm, a ship built in 1931, operated by Strömma.

The weather was nice and we had a nice day, we sat on the top deck for most of the three hour trip. I got quite burnt by the sun on my arms.
They offer a lunch buffet onboard which looked nice, however this time we did not try it unfortunately. We had some sandwiches and drinks instead.
We brought our GoPro Hero6 Black camera with us and I shot some video with it, the result you can see in the YouTube video above.
The cruise starts at Strandvägskajen, where S/S Stockholm docks, it then passes many interesting locations and islands through the archipelago (skärgården) on its way to its final destination – Vaxholm. It then returns back to Stockholm again. There is a live guide pointing out the various sights and historical facts of interest along the way.
Although we sat at the third top deck most of the time, the rest of the ship is very cosy, next time I think we will spend more time in the nice armchairs in the bar at the lower deck instead, it also has nice views out its windows on both sides.

Testing an Android WordPress app
I am testing an Android app, WordPress – Website & Blog Builder by Automattic, Inc to write and edit posts, and to upload and share photos from my mobile device.
Let’s see how well it works.
Sharing a photo that I uploaded using the app, and now including it in this post. I am using the Standard post format.
Update: It seems to work fine and do what I need.
Earth Hour 2012
Today is Earth Hour 2012.
Most lights in the office are shut off. I’m working the night, I usually do that whenever I work alone, but doing it with a thought today.
Changing the theme to require less energy to display (in theory, on CRT:s anyway 🙂 ).
Exercising civil rights and duties
Today is the EU parliament election in Sweden. I have been exercising my civil right and duty, and voted. I think it’s important to do so, even if one isn’t very politically active otherwise, the least one can do is make an opinion and vote when there is an election.
I can report that things seemed to go well, all parties were represented in the box holding the ballots. Something slightly annoying was a person from one party standing outside of the house handing out ballots for his party. I guess that’s free for any party to do, but it only pisses me off, personally.
