Our basement is flooded!


Pingu had a Titanic moment today. There was a very heavy rain fall tonight with thunder and lightning and everything. Pingu has bad experience about heavy rain since his old apartment got flooded many times. He suspected problems so he took the elevator down to the basement.

What he did not expect was the elevator making a big bang and then water came rushing into the elevator. Seconds later the doors opened and he was in the extremely flooded basement. He rushed for the Pingu and Pinga basement storage room and started to rescue what could be rescued. Then later he and Pinga went to the neighbors and told them to save their stuff too.

The video shows how Pingu is getting water out with a bucket even though the water level has at this time already decreased. It was quite much higher earlier!

Igelkott=Hedgehog=はりねずみ


Pinga's colleague took this photo on a Saturday morning. It's unusual for a hedgehog to be out in the sun as they usually move in the evening. Since Pinga likes animals, he sent this photo to her. Nicely taken cute hedgehog photo!

これは土曜の朝にピンガの同僚が撮ったはりねずみの写真です。はりねずみは普通暗くなってから動くのでどうしたのだろう、と同僚は思ったそうです。ピンガが動物好きなので写真を送ってくれたそうです。今の季節は道路で車にひかれたはりねずみをよく見かけるのでピンガは心配しています。

Me 11 year ago?


Now I'm home alone. Pinga is visiting her friend who lives with this kitty and two other cats.

Bachelor party

Pingu is at a bachelor party today. It started quite early with a breakfast at the Hilton. After that was gokarts which Pingu won. A shower and sauna after that was quite refreshing. The photo shows the group walking to the next activity after a bit of catching sun at the sea side.

Guarding again


Pinga was reading on the balcony so I came out and sat next to (or I should say below?) her.

Pingu and a hare


Pingu and Pinga saw a hare on the way to their friends' place. It was big like me. Even a bit bigger than me.

Per tutti


Per tutti is Pingu and Pinga's favourite ice cream shop in Lund. It was very sunny today so they sat down to enjoy their ice cream.

View of Lund


Pingu and Pinga took Pinga sister and her husband to St. Hans hill to see a view of Lund town. They got excited to see wild rabbits there.

Nimis

After a rather adventurous walk they all reached the treesculpture on the beach called Nimis. It is quite unique.

View of Mölle


On the way down from Kullaberg, they stopped to enjoy the view of the coastal village Mölle.

Kullaberg


They are now at the northwest tip of Skåne. It is a nice view and the wind is almost still.

Iitala outlet

Pinga's sister and husband is visiting at the moment. They came yesterday evening. Right now they are in Hōganäs. There is a famous ceramics company there and they have an outlet store. Moomin goods are sold which Pinga loves.

Tiny


The kitten at Pingu and Pinga's friend is so tiny. Look at Pingu's hand and compare.

Midsummer?


It's called midsummer but it rained and hailed! Pingu and Pinga are at their friend's place and they were grilling.

The nameless kitten

Pingu and Pinga are visiting a friend to celebrate midsummer. This little kitten is a temporary tenant at that friend. Ain't she a cutey?

Guarding

Pinga is reading a book and I am making sure I am close in case something would happen to her.

I want out

Pingu and Pinga have had me locked up since they moved to the new apartment. It is getting boring and I am trying to show them by staying by the front door and meowing. They don't seem to understand. Once I managed to escape into the building hallway but Pingu caught me.

Exclusive strawberries


Pingu and Pinga's friends brought Swedish strawberries for dessert. Due to recent night frost many berries were destroyed. Therefore are Swedish strawberries rare and very expensive right now.

Almost midsummer sushi


Pinga made tasty sushi rolls again. Pingu and Pinga's friends liked it a lot.

Fish hassle


As Pinga and Pingu planned to make sushi and invite friends, they went to buy fish during lunch time. Lunch break was short and there was a line at the fish wagon. Many people were there to buy herring for Midsummar. Pinga was unhappy with the service she got from one of the guys at the fish wagon but in any case she got the fish...

In chains...


Pingu and Pinga got something for me that I don't like. They have a plan to go walking with me but I can't walk comfortablly with this thing on. I tried to back out of it but it didn't come off.

Sunbathing


Yes, i am a Swedish cat. When it's sunny, I run for the sunny spots.

Asparagus pie


Pinga got these very big asparagus from her colleague again. This time she made pie with them. I want to taste them too!

I love my birthday present


Hmm comfortable...it's even better if Pinga or Pingu pets me.

Hen party


Pinga is in Malmö with her friends celebrating her friend who's going to get married next month.

Second time this year, Pingu got the pleasure to see one of his musical heroes live on stage. Nitzer ebb played in Malmö yesterday. Today Pingu is extremely tired but glad.

Buffet dinner


After the wine tasting, Pinga went to a nice restaurant for dinner. It was Swedish buffet style. Pinga and her colleagues enjoyed it a lot. This is a photo of a cold meet table. Meet meet meet! Pinga thought Pingu would be very happy to be there.

Wine tasting


Pinga is at the wine tiarting session with her colleagues now.

At the pet shop


When Pingu and Pinga were looking for presents for me, they found this piggy that sounds just like the real one. Scary...glad that they didn't choose this.

Delayed present 2


The second present is tough to figure out. There is cat candy coming out of a plastic ball but I don't know what to do. Maybe sniff it?

Delayed present 1


Pingu and Pinga gave me birthday presents two days late but that is ok. I took liking directly to this nice blanket. Comfy!

Happy birthday to me!


Today is my 11th birthday. I am glad to be back from the cat hotel and since Pinga is working from home today I get to use her as my pillow. Great present!

Relaxing at home


Pingu came to get me this morning and I am back at home. It's a pity Pinga parents are leaving tomorrow. I miss being with them while Pingu and Pinga are at work.

Back in Skåne


Pingu and Pinga with the family are on their way home. They will come and get me tomorrow morning.

Dixi begs for cup cake


Pinga was targeted by Dixi in order to get some cake. Pinga gave in to the pressure as you can see.

Summer cake


Pingu's dad made a tasty cake for everyone.

Lots of balloons


At 1 pm thousands of balloons were released close to the palace. Swedish colors of course.

Guard change at the palace


Today is Sweden's national day. Pinga and Pingu with family visited the royal palace and caught a glimpse of the guard change.

Sunny but cold


It's sunny today but cold like in April. Pingu and Pinga are now heading for the Royal Palace.

Scary grafitti


Pingu found this huge grafitti painting on the side of an old building. Doesn't it look a bit scary?

Lunch with a view


Pingu and Pinga was treated to a very nice lunch at the Gondolen restaurant. It has a great view as you can see.

Swedish souveniers


While walking through Stockholm's old city they came across many shops with Swedish souveniers. These hats looked funny.

Stockholm city hall


Pinga's parents went for a tour of the city hall. Pingu and Pinga was standing in line for climbing the tower but the line was too slow. The tower is 106 meters so it is quite high.

Noisy students


At the moment, high school students all across Sweden are graduating. They celebrate by going around town on trucks with loud music playing. In Stockholm they cause a lot of traffic congestion.

Baby cat?


In the same building as Pingu's sister they found this cat sleeping in a baby stroller.
