I have been thinking about getting a robot vacuum cleaner for a long time and now it’s finally time. I was first in on an iRobot vacuum cleaner when I imagined that it is the robot vacuum cleaners’ premium brand. But after reading some tests, I came up with other ideas.

Say what you want about Danes but when it comes to architecture they are just the best. In the middle of a forest in southern Zealand is the fabulous "Forest Tower". An approximately 50 meter high tower with fantastic views from the top.

I have to say I love Berlin. In 2018, I visited the city for the third time. Hopefully not the last one either.

The first time was in 1988. Then the Berlin wall remained and was a kind of excursion destination tragically enough. I remember peeking into East Berlin from a lookout point at Checkpoint Charlie. It was a sad sight with the watchtower and the wide gravel strip between the wall and the houses on the other side. Went by train there and passed through an East German border crossing to West Berlin. The border guards came on board and checked the passport with machine guns on their shoulders.

Travel to Dubai – cheap or expensive? I would like to say both. Mostly expensive, but it is possible to travel there with a limited budget as well. One way for a cheaper Dubai trip is to go there in the summer. Both airline tickets and hotels have clearly lower prices than in winter when it is high season in Dubai. The big reason it’s cheap in the summer is because it’s hot. Really, really hot.

Elsa Andersons Konditori in Norberg is a slightly different café. Visiting this café is like traveling back in time. With an interior that contains older furniture and other curiosities from times gone by, you get a nice visit to what it could have been like at a local café and patisserie in the past.

Chili has so far proved to be quite easy to grow. The three plants grow just fine in the sunshine on my balcony. The recipe for success seems to be decent with water as well as sun and heat.

The Arsenal - Swedish Defense Vehicle Museum is a vehicle museum in Strängnäs with lots of old defense vehicles from both Sweden and abroad. It is Scandinavia's largest museum of its kind.

I have had a blog for a long time. It started before there was Facebook and Twitter and blogging was the coolest way to reach out with your texts or pictures. I want to remember that I started with Blogger before I found WordPress which I have stuck to ever since. Now it is time to podcast.

Read about “The Pegasus project” at the Guardian and thought about what you can do to protect yourself. Not so much it seems. No more than the usual advice to keep your iPhone updated and also to keep apps installed on the phone updated.

Rekas Burgers is a really good hamburger place in Malmö. Here you will find a wide range of different burgers in several sizes.

Took a detour to the new Oceanhamnen in Helsingborg today to check out what it looks like there. Quite right of the city to get rid of the old industrial buildings and build house, shops and offices along the coastline. Take advantage of the proximity to the sea for the people. That's the right way to do.

Varvsstaden is a new district in Malmö. Or really if you want to be picky a new but old town district in the western parts of the city. This is because it will be built new buildings and houses but also preserved some old industrial buildings.

There are plenty of online music services. I originally had Spotify but have used YouTube Music in recent years and am very happy with that service. When I changed, I was a little worried that the range of songs would differ so some artists would be missing, but that has not been the case.

Netatmo is a French company that makes smart gadgets for the home. One of their products is a smart weather station.
