A windy evening.

A few weeks ago it was pretty windy (blåsigt) here.  I know the gusts were up to 49 MPH.  The next evening we went for a walk: 


I don't think any real harm was done.  This spot, by the way, is lilla torg (little square) and yes it really is lovely.  Some of the buildings in the area date back to the 1500's, but I do not know what portions of them are original.  The square is filled with shops and restaurants and in reasonably good weather the restaurants offer outdoor seating and the square is crowded with people. The small structure near the bicycles is an old telephone booth.  The white lamp is simply a fun piece that gets intermittently placed around the city.

Food in a tube....

OK - So I fully admit that there is nothing inherently wrong with food being stored in tubes.  But...it just seems weird and silly.  


So this is the aisle that made me stop in my tracks.
Also notice the huge  blocks of cheese in the foreground.  I think the largest ones are a kilo (2.2 pounds).



Blood pudding.  Tubes of various cabbage.


Tubes of rice pudding, soups, beans, and spaghetti in sauce. 
We tried the rice pudding and enjoyed it. 


Yup.  : D
