Most of the weekend (esp. Fri+Sun) was very rainy here, but participants and spectators of an annual race here in Borås on Saturday were lucky, and even got to enjoy some sunshine. For my own part, when I decided to walk into town, I did not even remember that the race would be going on in the city centre that day. I managed to keep on the outskirts of it, though - just snapped this photo in the park. My own errand was just to combine a walk with taking a few items to a charity shop in the vicinity of the main square.
Just now, I'm kind of wishing that I was writing this post in Swedish rather than in English. Why? Because the name of the annual race, in Swedish, is Kretsloppet - which means to run in a circle (or "closed loop"). And the same word is used in contexts to do with recycling and reusing things, like when donating to and buying things from thrift shops...
The eyes of the big green rabbit in the park have also been repaired again, which means one of its pupils moves slowly round and round in a circle (like a clock), making its expression look different from one day to the next...
Excellent meanings of your errands today! Racing round and round doesn't sound very fun however.
ReplyDeleteThe big green rabbit looks and sounds like a fun sculpture. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect bit of serendipity
