Feeding the cows

The cows came close so Pinga picked up some grass which they happily ate.

Skanör sea side

Pinga and family went to Skanör to celebrate Swedish mother's day. They walked to the sea and enjoyed the view.

Elvis anti dog poo campaign

While walking around Malmö Pingu found this Elvis poster. Let's hope it has the desired effect.

Malmö castle

Pinga and the family went to the Malmö castle. Pinga parents were surprised by so much bird poo. Pingu was curious about the frogs making lots of sound.

Pet meee!

Pingu was on the balcony so I followed him there and did a pet me attack.

Watching freedom

Out on the balcony I watched a cat walking around. It is tough to watch since I am trapped here and not allowed out.

Food shopping in Malmö

Pinga and family went to Möllevång square to immerse in the middle eastern atmosphere with all the shops. They shopped many things including cheese.

Sunset in Lund

Pinga and family were out walking around our apartment. Sun was setting around 2130.

Hot air balloon

Pingu biked home from Lund city center and saw several hot air balloons. The weather is great and it is almost wind still.

Zzz...

I got used to Pinga parents and this is me sleeping next to Pinga dad.

Dinner on the balcony

I was eating inside as usual but the others were having dinner on the balcony. It was tortillas and tacos.

Message from the sheep

Pinga and her parents were out walking and came across a gated area with sheep. The sign says "welcome but don't feed us."

Baum kuchen

This is one of Pinga's favourite sweets. She was very happy to have this tasty baum kuchen from Tokyo. Baum kuchen is a German Christmas sweet but it is popular in Japan and sold all year there.

Anniversary lunch

It's Pingu and Pinga's third wedding anniversary today so they went to have a nice lunch. It became extra nice with Pinga's parents and Pingu's sister.

Arild

Pingu, Pinga and the family are in Arild now. It was rainy this morning but it got much better.

Ales stenar

Now they're at Ales Stenar. It's windy as usual.

Crayfish sandwich

Pingu, Pinga and the family are having late lunch at Olof Viktors.

At the Viking museum

Pingu and Pingu's sister played a game at the museum. It was a simple fun game. Pingu's sister won the game.

Bicycling in Ven サイクリング

It's a very nice day perfect for bicycling.
とても良い天気でサイクリングには最適でした。ヴェーンは菜の花が満開で道の両側が黄色で、甘い菜の花の独特の香りがしていました。

In line to Ven ferry ヴェーン島へのフェリー

It is great weather so Pingu, Pinga and family decided to go to the small island of Ven. They are not alone with that idea.
4連休の始まりで天気が良いのでピング達は小さな島ヴェーンへ出かける事しました。晴れているのでヴェーンへ行こうと考えたのはピング達だけではなく、フェリー乗り場はスウェーデンとは思えない人ごみでした。

My bed?

Pingu's sister is visiting us now. They made her bed but I feel like that it's my bed.

Burger lunch

Pinga dad liked the burger at Viggos last time he was in Lund so they went there again.

Ice cream temptation

Pingu and Pinga were in Bjärred with Pinga parents. Pinga thought It's tough to not to eat ice cream when it's sunny and nice outside.

Ice cream weather

Lunch didn't taste good but Pingu and Pinga were happy with this ice cream.

Pink flowers

Pinga was wondering what's the name of the tree that has many very pink flowers on it. Maybe she'll get an answer from her friends again.

New vacuum cleaner

Pingu and Pinga are happy getting a new powerful vacuum cleaner after the old one broke down but I don't really care as I hate the scary noise it makes...

Asparagus season

Pinga received very nice asparagus from her collegue and made this dinner. Bacon wrap turned out to be very tasty. Carrot and halloumi cheese are in it together with asparagus.

Many police cars

In order to cope with a kind of demonstration in Lund, there were so many police officers this afternoon. There were police horses as well!

Ice cream after lunch

Pinga had an ice cream with her friends/colleagues after lunch. There were many people outside of the supermarket as it was sunny.

Very green 新緑

Pinga took this photo no the way home. Although the temperature is like 10C degrees and not o warm, it's really green!
ピンガが帰宅途中に撮った写真です。とても緑で冬とは違う通勤路かと思うほどでした。でも気温は10℃前後で手袋をして自転車に乗っています。

Purple flowers=Lilacs

Pinga's friend and colleague told her that they are lilacs. Pinga now remembers that it smelled very nice.
-----------------
Now we can see those purple flowers blooming and Pinga is wondering what this flower is called.

Körsbärsdalen=桜の谷

Pinga's colleague took this very nice photo of sakura. He lives close to this place and it was full bloom last week (I think)!
ピンガの同僚がこの写真を撮りました。彼の家の近くにある谷で、先週（多分）桜が満開だったそうです。スウェーデンの桜もきれいだミャー。

King of the balcony

Now we have a carpet on the balcony. It's very nice and I like to be out on the balcony when it's sunny.

Pet meeee!

Yes, this is me on Pinga's desk. If she doesn't pet me, i'll pee on stuff like I did this morning!

"Piss off"

Because I peed on Pingu and Pinga's bed this morning, they went to a pet shop to buy this product called "Piss off" to spray on things I shouldn't pee on. We'll see if it works...

Spring is here 春が来た

It was sunny and warm.
スコーネに春が来ました！菜の花が満開で辺りは一面黄色です。

On the sofa

I was totally relaxed on the sofa when Pinga took this photo.

New calendar

Pinga is happy to have a new desktop calendar. It's very handy at work. This bear calendar is a gift from her friend in Tokyo.

Hägg=Bird cherry=えぞのうわみずざくら

Pingu and Pinga came back from Japan and thought that
Lund became much greener than when they left. Pinga found this flower in the neighbourhood and asked her colleague what it's called. It's hägg in Swedish. It was a bit difficult to find out what it's called in Japanese as it's native to northern Europe and northern Asia. Pinga has never heard of the name 蝦夷上溝桜(えぞのうわみずざくら). Both english and Japanese name has "cherry" in it.
今ルンドで満開の蝦夷上溝桜は日本では北海道で見られる木だそうです。北欧は、スウェーデン、ノルウェー、フィンランド、ロシアに育っているとのことです。

Dinner together

I was at the the dinner table as well!

Breakfast together

I was happy to be home again and sat at the dining table this morning.

Coming back home

Pingu and Pinga are finally back home. As you can see, i'm very happy to be on Pingu's lap again.

6 nimmt

Pingu is losing at this card game that they brought to Tokyo. It is extra fun when there are many people playing.

Chinese dinner at Pinga parents' place

Pinga sister and friends came to have dinner together. 8 people at the table and lots of good food.
