Please help to contribute by adding your comments whenever ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/09/24/another-new-blog/ Norway is the rather annoyingly (to swedes) more beautiful bigger sister of Sweden. I have never been, but I have always wanted to go. So after the Grey family dropped by Stockholm on their way to Norway and invited us along, Nico and I thought why not! It wasn't really ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/09/21/just-popping-over-to-norway/ The Brown note is a note of a special frequency that causes us humans to lose control of our bowels and actually shit ourselves. If you'd like to try it, the estimated frequency is between: 22.275 Hz to 150 Hz. As of now, there is still no scientific proof that this ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/09/16/the-brown-note/ Hello. It's been a while. In the meantime I've been trying my best to become swedish... just as well I'm failing. I'm sort of like the trojan horse - I fit the swedish person from the outside but when you get closer, you realise I'm not quite what I seem. I ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/08/20/islands-sourfish-and-blueberries/ It's was both extremely good and bad to be back in london over the weekend. The people there are just brilliant. You can't find them just anywhere else in the world. Which is good, but obviously really bad when you're not there to hang out with them. Amongst all the socialising ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/07/29/dalston-mill/ On my walk today I passed Jarla Cykel & Sport? on rådmansgatan. Now I've seen lots of the free bicycle pumps around stockholm, but never have I seen one installed from a cycle store before. Especially one that is so bespoke - this pump is no amateur pump coming out ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/07/29/swedish-air/ nico and willow have a surprise ;) ...

No, I try my best not to be one of those people you hate. So perhaps I should just stop talking now, and show you the photo of the expression on my face today when we reaced the sea next to our house. And ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/02/21/the-sound-of-water-freezing/ On Sunday it was my birthday. I turned the grand age of "nearly 30" (quote Nico Nuzzaci) i.e. 28 years old. To celebrate I decided to mark the day a beerday. And what better place to celebrate beerday than in a drinking establishment that claims to stock the worlds finest ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/01/23/beerday/ Sweden doesn't have any post offices, so I was down at my local OCQ8 gas station today when I was delighted to receive a post-christmas package. Inside the package was a lovely hat, from the lovely Helen at Electronic Sheep. It's even been swedishified with it's very own reindeer badge ... http://www.vvillovv.com/blog/2009/01/13/happy-new-year-hat/
