This is not about instruments in the Underground/subway, but piano music found on youtube. There is a Swedish somewhat un-modern expression "ta det piano", literally "take it piano", meaning "take it easy". But I digress. The following is not CC or public domain music, but can be listened to freely, at least at the time …
If this is your first time here, I suggest you first read my general post about distrohopping. 🙂 Note from Dec 2021 Chakra Linux had changed URL, and I updated it, and erased some faulty ones. Still some old ones remains, but you may find them on wayback machine. Not that this post contains any …
Just for the fun of it, I decided to add feed links. Feeding is built into WordPress, but I just wanted to add visible links for clarity. Being goodness gracious unrealistic, I imagine someone actually subscribing to this blog! :O However, it took some effort and searching on the web. Some suggestions mentioned putting php …
In our family we regularly make cereals from roasted whole buckwheat. It is delicious and has the advantage of being a psuedocereal, not a grass like for example wheat and barley, which some (or even more than you think) people are sensitive to (Coeliac disease but also other).

In the U.S. constitution, it is declared that: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the …
One of the ultimate signs here in Sweden (and Northern Europe) of winter is coming is the moving south of the common crane (Grus grus) for the winter. Picture by J.M. Garg. License: CC BY-SA 3.0. Source: Wikimedia I live not far from the last major stop for their migration north in the spring, so …
I love books! I read books, I borrow books, I buy books, I share books, I give away books. I love books. I even have a lot of books I actually haven’t had time to read yet, or not being in the mood for that particular book. It’s always been like that. I probably have …
Made bread today, from rye and spelt. With a little syrup and oil. Baked it in our iron stove, which I do not often use for baking. Makes bread a little extra delicious, though. Can’t explain how or why it is more delicious, it is a rather subtle difference in taste and/or texture. It is …
This is the first time I have actually managed to make two posts to a blog of my own. I sincerely hope there will be more. People’s use of Internet and the Web is more and more becoming a "cloud" experience. Private and public are more and more muddled, where Facebook is maybe the prime …
