A week ago I arrived back in Gävle. It felt great to take the train back North into town and drive with Camilla to Valbo. In my unstructured thoguhts about coming back to Sweden I pictured it as it was: me in my old apartment and working in my old office, working out at the gym at which I no longer have a membership. I was preparing myself for things to look different, and for me to feel like a stranger again. It has been a happy surprise for everything to feel very comfortable… I am very much at home at Camilla’s where I am staying, in Tor building where I am working, in Gävle running around town and visiting folks. I have been putting in a lot of working hours to get some flight loader project work done, but I have also been able to do a lot of fun stuff:
- Mushroom hunting (and eating!)
- Blueberry/lingon picking
- Fika at Tor with my colleagues
- Shopping for Swedish specialties at coop
- Picking up some Craft and Björn Borg stuff we can’t get in Canada
- Shopping in Stor Torget
- Running at Hemlingby
The temperature is starting to get a bit crisp for Fall, but apart from one big thunderstorm the weather has been pretty nice. I am trying to drink it all in while staying healthy so I can have a reasonable trip home and productive September in SK.
