On friday I had errands to do! We took a walk in to town. Passed the rhododendron...
...through the churchyard...
...and then we were in town! (On the other side of the canal is Trädsgårdsföreningen, by the way.)
Gothenburg looks like a fairytale this time of the year.

After running in to a few stores, buying supplies for the fair the day after, it was high time for food! Found a seat in the shadow and ate a lovely sallad buffet.
This is my David. He has the prettiest eyes in the whole wide world.
Hello!
Walked home in the heat and started packing for the fair. I will tell you more about that tomorrow...

Yesterday David and I went for a walk in the warm summer weather. Now begins the time when Lotta shall complain about the heat. You will hear it a lot, I promise. Me and my skin do not like it when it's hot.
We took the way through the churchyard Stampen.
I had to stop and admire the rhododendron.
We crossed this green parkway.
And then we were in Trädgårdsföreningen! My favourite spot in Gothenburg! You can see this view in at least one of my earlier posts. Here, for an example.
It was time for fika!
David ready for raspberry pie.
I had brought an apple with me. My apple cozy is from earlygirl and I use it almost every day because I am an apple junkie.
A very warm Lotta.
A lot of people had decided to go here for fika. It was such a lovely day!
We took a stroll in the park.
Everywhere there were people hiding from the traffic.
A summer path.
Then we walked home again.
And passed the building where the trams go to sleep at night.
Five miniutes later we were at home again and that was that little adventure.

Efter jobbet idag åkte David och jag till Gårda där de boende höll loppmarknad. Gårda är en stadsdel med vackra Landshövdingehus som inte restaurerats på mycket länge. De som bor där gör det under rivningskontrakt. När som helst kan de bli vräkta. Det är så väldigt sorgligt att staden inte renoverar husen som de gjorde i den nu så vackra stadsdelen Haga. Istället för att låta de förfalla tills det enda man kan göra är att riva och bygga nytt. Det är mycket konstnärer och kreativt folk som bor i Gårda och varje år anordnar de en loppmarknad för att öka medvetenheten kring stadsdelen.
After work today David and I headed to GÃ¥rda. It's a part of Gothenburg with old neglected houses that the city wants to tear down. There have not been any renovations done for a very long time and the people living in the houses are doing so under the fear of being evicted any day. There's a lot of artists and creative people living in GÃ¥rda and to raise awareness for the neighbourhood they organize a flea market once a year. The city neglects these houses until there is nothing left to do but tear them down, but many people think (me included) that they should restore the entire neighbourhood instead like they did in the now incredibly beautiful part of town called Haga. It's so sad to see these lovely houses get destroyed.
The fleamarket was held at the courtyard behind this house.
Look at that man with the hat and mustache! Fabulous!
A really happy Lotta with today's finds. A dress, a skirt and two silver plates with stands. All for only 60 kr (8.4 USD)!

My phone is filled with photos from this week. Let's take a peek.
Last saturday I had to work extra and on my way there I stopped to look at my city from across the water. I work at an island called Hisingen that's a part of Gothenburg.
I went to buy some sushi to bring to work. Speed in my steps.
It was Göteborgsvarvet that day. A half marathon going through Gothenburg every year. The runners pass just outside my work so we had a great view.
A dog living the good life.
Some fresh mint tea with honey one late evening after work.
Olskroken by night. This is my neighbourhood.
On the ferry going to work. I take the bike to and from the ferry. I love this so much; the two best ways to travel.
View from the ferry. They used to build ships here. Not so much anymore I think, maybe just repairs. Not sure though.
Sankt Pauli church right next to where I live. I pass this every day and sometimes, during night time, it looks just like Hogwarts.
One morning I realised my hair has become insanely long. I really need to go to a hairdresser!
Yesterday I was supposed to meet a friend for coffee at Trädgårdsföreningen.
When I got there rain clouds took over the sky. We had to go to a café with roof instead. I snapped this just before I left. I love this place.
Went to a café at the Central station instead.
On my way home I passed this parkway. It's so green! Spring has exploded over Gothenburg this last week.
Yours truly from the sofa late last night.
