Had a very nice walk around Härlanda kärn! It's nothing like Spring in Sweden! So, finally more or less packed... I've also watered the plants, payed my bills, done my tax declaration and done the dishes, so I feel ready for bed.
Until next time, take care!

A week goes fast...
I've been home for a week and it's time to head off again! Time is flying and it's time for Boston! So this is what I've been up to since I came home (as some of you believe I have vacation when home between the stopovers :-):
Monday: Arrived home in the afternoon. Took some time to update the web album with images from the past stopovers. Went for a long walk, had something to eat, went to the store and unpacked one suitecase.
Tuesday: Worked between 8.00 to 22.30, so not much else..
Wednesday: Worked between 7.30 and stayed til 22.30, so not much else that day either..
Thursday: Worked between 7.30 to 16.30. As we had a meeting outside the office, I took the chance to get off work early. Met Mia for a coffee and went over to Christina, a collegue, to get some small strawberry (smultron) plants for my house. Ended up having dinner with her at a local Japanese restaurant. Very nice!
Friday: Worked between 8.00 to 18.00. Met Anna at the Avenue and we went for something to eat and Monica met up afterwards. Very nice to get a chance to meet them!
Saturday: Unpacked the other bag and did laundry the whole morning. Went for a loooong walk and coffee at Bertilssons stuga with Viveka and Kjell-Åke. Beautiful weather! Went to my house to "assess the damage". Turned out there's not too much to do. Had fresh shrimps in the evening. Sooo good! Really miss that when travelling!
Sunday: After breakfast I went out to my house. Spent about 8 hours clearing the flower beds. It was a lot of work, but now it looks decent! I met the neighbours, which was very nice after the long winter. Anna came out to see me and we had some dinner. Two carpenters came out to look at some work and hopefully they can get it done before I move out July 1st. Home late and spent two hours preparing presentations for Monday meetings.
Monday: At work at 8. Good first meeting. Skipped the second meeting after lunch as pretty much all participants went to the first one. First time ever and I suddenly had two more hours to the day! Yeha! Didn't manage to get out of work until 18 anyway... Have had something to eat and now I'm working up energy to pack... The travelling would be so much more fun if I didn't have to pack! At least everything is clean! Flight is early tomorrow morning, so I need to do it before getting to bed...
So that was my week in Sweden! I'm home in a month and then I'm planning to stay for four whole days in my house to really get some stuff done! Especially remove half of the flower beds! I have a plan for the whole garden, so I'm really looking forward to get to work!
So, time to get to work or I think I'm going for a walk instead of starting to pack before it gets dark...
Take care!

Back in Sweden!
Back in Sweden for three days. After an eventful trip back to Sweden with having to buy a new ticket in Dubai as we missed the flight to Sweden we came back late Monday evening. Worked, unpacked and packed for three days. Also had some time to catch up with Mia, which was very nice! Flew to Stockholm Thursday afternoon and had some time with my dear friends in Stockholm before flying off to the Gran Canaria on Saturday morning with my family.

Plans until mid February!
So for the ones of you that are trying to keep up with where I am and when I'm in Stockholm next time... Here comes a quick agenda until mid February:
27 November - 15 December India
16- 18 December Göteborg
19 December Stockholm
20 - 27 December Kanarieöarna (Yes! I get to travel for Christmas!)
28 December Göteborg
29 December - ca. 19 January Singapore
20 January - 16 February Qindao, China
It's gonna be a bit hectic.... And unfortunately there's not gonna be a lot of time in Stockholm before mid February. Hopefully I can come up at the end of February for a longer period of time. I don't have full control after the China trip, but it will sort itself out in the next coming weeks and Rio will be at the end of March. Unfortunately it also looks like there will be no skitrip this winter... I'm gonna miss that, but it's worth it! :-)
So considering the amount of travel I have bought myself an IPod Touch (My old IPod is long gone!). I love it!! If you need someone to convince you to buy one, call me and I can go on and on about how great it is! If I don't get a job after Volvo Ocean Race I can start promoting the IPod Touch. Probably the only sales job I would be good at!

At the house
Loads of apples have fallen down from the tree so we picked them up and threw them away. The birds really like them and were eating away while we stood next to the tree. The house is in good shape. I now have a plan for what to do with the garden, so I look forward to when I can get started! Good to have something to distract when the race is over at the end of June!
Brunch at Soho with Martine
Soho has a great brunch! Very good to meet up with Martine! Long time no see! She is moving down to Australia in January for a couple of years, so hopefully we can meet up there next time! :-)

Back in Göteborg
So, back in Göteborg again! Had a great time in South Africa and Cape Town! It's a great city! Will be home now for about 10 days before it's time to go down to India. The romours has it that they are far from being ready for the arrival of the yachts and the opening of the Race Village so it will be very interesting!

Back in Sweden
So, back in Sweden again after one month in Alicante and met by darkness and rain... It was still warm and late summer when I left!
First thing done at the airport when we landed was to connect to Internet and check on the standing for the guys at sea! We were all eager to know if there had been any changes when in the air, but Ericsson 4 is still in the lead and closely followed by Telefonica Black, Puma and Ericsson 3. It's only updated every 3rd hour...
And now I'm watching Volvo Ocean Race Weekly Report at TV4 (Every Monday at 23.05 for 30 minutes). It feels very strange to watch it all at TV that we just experienced on site a couple of days ago! Seems though like they are doing a good job at reporting from site!
Tomorrow I've taken the day off and will unpack, do laundry, fill the refrigerator again and try to get to my little house and see if it's still standing where I left it. And then it's back to work for about three weeks before I head to Cape Town.
