I awoke today to my cats sitting on my bed, chewing on loose threads. The sun was streaming in through the window and I felt nicely rested — I’d had a late night.

I got up, ate some breakfast, and lazily watched a tv show. 2 hours or so gone by and I was feeling restless. After cleaning up a bit, the outside was calling — it was a wonderfully beautiful day. I figured I’d go for a walk.

I got myself together and headed out. I took my usual route — down towards the station, but veering off towards the park. I continued into the park and stopped at the water fountain. I enjoy sitting, watching, and listening there. Something was off though, not quite right.

I was the only one there.

This is a rather large park — there are almost always people there: picnics, walks, biking, out with the kids, sunbathing, etc. Today, however, I was the only one. I looked around, behind me, and all I found was a seagull and another bird fighting over a piece of bread.

I whipped out the iPod i was carrying to check…

Damn you Sweden, damn you and your extreme lattitude.
