Autumn has arrived.

I’ve felt a bit tired lately so when I seemed to be the only one planning on going to the office today I decided to do as the others: work from home. Finished a bit earlier than a normal friday and took the bus out to IKEA where I bought some candlesticks, flower pots and [...]

A lovely weekend in Göteborg

The other week it was time for THE budget meeting in Göteborg, something that proved to be quite a nerve thrilling experience. However, I am glad to say that I survived it, as did the business area manager of my region. It looked bad for a while when the figures just wouldn’t add up, but [...]

Sara’s visit.

I was really looking forward to having Sara come stay with me saturday-sunday and her 26 hours in Stockholm turned out to be just as fun as I had expected! I picked her up at the bus stop at three in the afternoon and we went straight to a café in the galleria where we [...]

Summer vacation – 2009

Swedish summers are known to be short, and this one was no exception! I left Stockholm on the 10th of july for a three week holiday on the west coast and now I am already on my way back to the east coast. It has been a great vacation in many ways, with a lot [...]

Strömstadmilen 2009 – Girlpower

The weekend that passes was spent in Strömstad. I took the train home friday morning and worked during the journey. On arrival I joined my mum and her boyfriend for a boat ride and this years first swim in the ocean. A great welcoming to the west coast! The reason for this quick visit at [...]

Birthdays should come more often!

Historically I haven’t found my birthday too much of a thing to celebrate. But, the older I get the more I enjoy a special day just for me. And this year was no different. I woke up in the morning with a smile on my face, a smile that lasted all day! I took my [...]

Reunion of 2009

My second semester as a student in Göteborg I signed up to be a Student Buddy, which meant that I was involved in the welcoming of international students who did their semester abroad at Handels in Göteborg. In hindsight I can easily say that it was one of my best decisions so far! During this [...]

The swedish medical system at its best…

Before my move to Stockholm earlier this year I went to get a prescription renewed at the doctor. Once there I decided to ask him for an allergy test as well as I have been planning to have one done for some years now without managing to actually get my ass over to the hospital. [...]

Ny vadslagning.

Igår var jag på en fest hos en vän. Det plockades fram en chokladkaka och när den första biten väl passerat munnen ner i magen så var jag såld. Fler bitar gjorde den första följe inom kort. Till följd av detta fällde jag kommentaren “Jag är ändå betydligt bättre på att kontrollera godisätandet nu när [...]

October in June

Looking out my window it is hard to imagine it being the middle of june. It’s gray, windy and rainy which makes it more natural to think that it’s in the middle of october rather than the weekend before midsummer. The only good thing about the weather is that my allergy is kept at a [...]
