the bob and i went up the stjärtlapping-hill after work today, to look at the view and see how big the ice had grown. but by the time we reached the top it was too dark to see. the lake just looked like a big black blanket on the pale grey ground underneeth us. it looked slightly more rugged on the right half though, where i know it's covered in ice. so i guess the left half is still mostly open water.
it was very nice walking in the darkening woods, with a happy old dog running around looking for frozen horse shit.
