Visit to Stockholm

So, after a hectic Summer I've been working three weeks. It is a whole different pace at work and it feels good to be back! I was supposed to leave Volvo today, but luck had it that Ulrika, who I took over from when she went on maternity leave, is once again pregnant. I was not able to stay full time for the Autumn, so I will work half time until New Year and then go back to full time again when Ulrika goes back on maternity leave. It feels really good to have some time for fixing with my house, get back into shape and go on a few evening courses. As much as I loved travelling I must admit that it is quite nice to be back in the house and work on it. I have fixed a lot inside and will take care of the garden the coming month. I'm also once again involved in sailing competitions in Långedrag for GKSS, which will keep me busy for some weekends during September and October.
This weekend I'm planning to come to Stockholm and hope to see most of my friends! It was awhile since I was up there so it's going to be good to meet everyone!
Take care til next time!

Stockholm - here we come!

Finally in Stockholm! Arrived earlier today and the Race Village looks great, even if my brother Stefan and his fiancee Lisa missed the Volvo pavilion.... Fabienne and I took the train in the afternoon. A great way to travel, especially with Internet connection! We worked the whole way, very efficient! Arrived and had a short look at the Race Village and went for dinner at Sallys in Gamla stan. Very nice! Ingrid, Magnus and I had another glas of wine and my brother and Lisa joined us. We then went for a quick walk to the Race Village. The boats have just arrived to Sanhamn. There were many of us that hoped for Mange to win, but he ended up second, just a hundred meter after the winner Puma. Poor Mange, but second is not too bad! Looking forward to the boats arriving to Stockholm on Wednesday and to see you all in the Race Village!
Time for bed!

Stockholm

In Stockholm for a long weekend. Took the chance now when I'm home for a longer period to take some time in Stockholm. I've managed to see most of my friends and spend some longer time with them. I got to see Stefan and Magdalenas appartment that is finally coming together after all the work they put into it. Very nice! Stefan and I also got the chance to visit Båtmässan and talk to the Stockholm Stopover organisation. A nice setup with the old Ericsson VO 70 boat! Tonight it's back to Göteborg again for a week. I will probably not be able to come to Stockholm again until the boats arrive the 17th of June (16th of June they'll arrive to Sandhamn).
So the plans for the upcoming months looks like this:
2-7 mars Göteborg
8-14 mars Boston
15 - 26 mars Göteborg
27 mars - 13 april Rio
14 - 21 april Semester i Brasilien alt. Göteborg
22 april - 18 maj Boston
19 - 26 maj Göteborg
27 maj - 7 juni Galway
8 - 14 juni Marstrand
15 - 23 juni Stockholm
24 - 29 juni St Petersburg
I'll try to be better to upload images to the blog....
Take care for now!

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.
