I write words and code, wave swords around, and try to vacuum the cat. Back in 🇸🇪 after 20 odd years in 🇬🇧

A graph showing the share price of SpaceX since the IPO in June. There was a spike immediately after the IPO, after which there has been a steady decline. At yesterday's close it was at -28.6% of its initial price.
A rectangular yellow warning sign on a sandy beach. Inside a black rectangle a crossed-over person is diving into the sea. Underneath is the word "Grunt". ("Grunt"means "shallow" in Swedish.)
Screenshot of weather showing current temperature as 21 and the hourly forecast going to to 30. The day's high is expected to be 31, as is tomorrow's.
The remaining trunk - circa 3 meters tall at a guess - of a large dead tree, in a lush, green forest. There are signs of a break at the top, and the trunk is full of holes of various sizes.
Two hedgehogs under a shrub, one facing the camera, one facing the other way
Screenshot of Örjan's profile showing the header image, which has five different rubber ducks in a row on a window sill.
A large white cat with black tail and top of head lies sleeping on its back on a tiled floor, with all four paws curled up. Its eyes are closed and it looks content.
A lilac-colored towel, with a lilac flower and the text "How do they rise up" embroidered on.
A red tea mug with the text: "Controls on immigration" and "In voting Labour"
A medieval storage room, with vaulted stone ceiling, thick stone walls, and cobbled stone floor. The photo is taken from the top of a step set of stairs leading down into the room. On the opposite wall, bright sunlight is shining in through a small window, creating a lens flare effect. Barrels and boxes of various sizes are scattered around.
An asphalt-covered path, with a lawn in the background. Near the edge, there is a bulge in the asphalt, which a small plant has broken through the top of.
Books on a single shelf on an IKEA Kallax unit. The books are a mix of comics, role-playing, programming, history, and fantasy.
A knife next to its beige plastic sheath. The knife has a red plastic handle with a beige plastic inlay and butt.
Book cover of "Gappy disappears" book 2 of the Young Vampire Adventures, by Star Donovan. We see the back of a black-haired boy who is looking into and holding a hand up against a mirror. In the reflection, he is only partially visible.
Rocks covered in ice next to frozen-over water covered by snow. In the background, there is open water with white-capped waves. All under a grey, overcast sky.
A white and black cat is lying on an office chair in front of a table with a couple of monitors on it. The cat is facing the camera and has a slight smirk.
A garden with a thin layer of snow. In the förgrund there are chairs, a table, and a bench. Behind them is a little red house with two door openings and glazed windows, trimmed in white.
Cover of "Maktens vägar - vägen bort" by Bertil Mårtensson.
A pot with water and Penne pasta, photographed from above. Most of the pasta is standing up at an angle, in the same orientation.
Korin from the Dragon Ball Z anime. Korin is a white cat who stands on his hind legs, and is holding a tall cane.
A small bifurcated carrot, with a third root curling around the right one.
A rusty-coloured custom-built car with large tyres and very limited visibility due to an enormous air intake.
A large Clefairy sitting in a yellow reading chair, while a Gengar half the height of the Clefairy sits on the armrest. Both Pokémon are smiling, as if they've just shared a joke.
A large dark grey cat with white paws and nose, and white patches on the stomach. She's lying on her back on a wooden floor, with her front feet curled up.
Lock screen of mobile phone. Watercolor painting of Goku of Dragonball fame as a child, in an orange training suit. He is flying from Korin Tower on his Flying Nimbus, looking back with a happy expression.
Front and right side view of a custom car. It is very low, very rusty, with huge tyres and a big engine with the muskler and exhaust on top of the engine. On the door is written "Mad Mats", and the vehicle looks like it could have come from the set of Mad Max 2. It is unclear how the driver can see to drive, since the exhaust stack is taller than the roof of the car.
Ship sign saying "Fanny" in large text, with "Womenswear" in a smaller font underneath.
A row of old wooden posts in the sea. In the middle, a pair of sandals suit on top of a post.
A wood panel wall on which is mounted a wooden board with three early medieval swords - Viking, Saxon, Norman - hanging from it. There is also a foam pickaxe with "Remember tunnel 17!" printed on it hanging along them.
Three -tier workbench built from construction pine lumber and construction plywood, standing on paving slabs inside a greenhouse.
A medium-sized Viking age longship, tied up by a sandy beach.
Screen shot of BlueSky showing a post by Charlie Stross cautioning against constant promotion, above a post by John Scalzi encouraging authors to promote more.
A large grey and white cat lying on her back on a wooden floor, all passed up in the air. Her face is closest to the viewer, and she's looking into the camera.
Two bare legs from the knees down, lying on a beach of brown sand, leading down to a still lake. It's a sunny day with clear blue skies.
A snowy landscape with a "vresbok", a beech tree which has grown with strange twists, bends, and turns in trunk and branches.
Map of Sweden made from horizontal lines, with spikes on population centres. Stockholm stands out as being twice than the next two spikes (Gothenburg and Malmö) combined. In the northern two thirds of the country, there is only one noticeable population centre away from the coast.
The cover of the Swedish translation ofJaroslav Hašek's (unfinished) novel "The good soldier Švejk".
An iced-over canal at night, with a low bridge in the background.
An almost full moon over the sea. There's a bright reflection of the moon on the water, and a gradient of the sky from pale grey-blue at the horizon to a black above the moon. There's a line of dramatically lit clouds a bit over the horizon, and over the moon there's a wide fuzzy red horizontal line. Possibly an artifact introduced by a camera struggling with too strong contrasts. Possibly an UFO.
A large white cat, sleeping on his back with all four paws up in the air and curled.
The interior of a bar with screens in the walls showing various games, bathed in peach and lilac lighting. In the foreground, an elegant stemmed glass with a vividly green liquid in.
The cast of Taskmaster season 16.
A Viking longship tied up by a sandy beach. The spar has been lowered and set along the ship, and the sail hung over it and over the sides to form a tent.
A smiley and the text: Tell us a true, one-sentence story from your life that absolutely opens more questions than it answers and demands further context.
Soundtrack album from the Wim Wenders film "Until the end of the world". Artists like Depeche Mode, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Lou Reed, Neneh Cherry, Nick Cave and many others wrote and performed songs especially for the film, and were asked to imagine what kind of doing they would write ten years in the future.
Helge Ask - a replica of one of the Skuldelev Viking longships - moored by a narrow sandy beach in the Roskilde fjord.
A grey reading chair, on which a grey cat with white nose is contentedly sleeping.
A white cat with black spots sitting on a paved patio sniffing a shrub with yellow flowers.
A Barbie doll in Viking dress, weaving on a standing loom. The warp is red, like entrails, and human skulls are used as weights.
A white cat with black tail and a few black spots, sitting on a log in a park with trees in the background. He is wearing a pink harness, and a lead is attached to it.
A large winged unicorn soft toy, with pink wings, hooves, and horn, and blue, yellow and pink pastel spots on white hide, hanging forlornly on a low garden wall.
A train platform in Fratton, England. In the center, a huge poster advertising Eurostar as the greener way to travel to Paris. The left half is a photo of the Eurostar train, and on the right a drawing in a style reminiscent of travel posters of old, showing two young people - one black, one white - excitedly exploring the countryside as the train passes. It does not look like Paris, but what do I know.
