It’s the national day in Sweden today, which pretty much only means that it’s a day off. I have been working some late nights in the recent weeks and felt that I could use more time off than just one day, so I took out Wednesday and Friday as well and now I’m enjoying a…

What a wonderful weekend it has been! The calendar says it’s still spring, but it sure feels summer. On yesterday’s excursion when I ended up in a wet mire wearing non-Goretex shoes, I wouldn’t have known I stood in water if I didn’t look down and saw the water covering my feet. That’s how warm…

The photographic slump continues, waiting for the greens. It’s actually starting to happen now, with ever so slight green tint on the birches. Some birches actually very nearly sport mouse ears by now, so give it another week and the landscape will be transformed. Exciting times… this is the spring equivalent of first snow! I…

I slept for 10 hours. 10 hours! The last time it happened I was jet-lagged after 32 hours without sleep, coming back from Canada. I should’ve learned from my vacation in March. I can’t push myself physically every day, I just don’t have the condition for it and at some point my body will call…

The sun is out today so I went cycling. Even though the thermometre didn’t show any impressive numbers, I knew from experience that it would soon feel warm so I wore a t-shirt and a thin wind jacket and fingerless gloves. This time however it didn’t help me no matter how hard I was pedalling,…

As I mentioned yesterday, I did a bicycle trip to check out some new places. Cycling the tarmac roads is boring, so I took the gravel road that runs almost parallel with the paved road. There are loads and loads of small roads around here, part of them thanks to the military installations that were…

From skis to wheels. Beautiful weather to start the cycling season – last year I was out too early and got a cold. So I took out the bike and it was in great shape, just needed to pump some air and the Scott was good to go. I did a short tour yesterday, didn’t…
