Summertime with waffles

We lost an hour today and it felt like traveling from the USA to Europe. I hope summer- and wintertime will unite to a European Greenwich time (GMT+1). I celebrated summer by making waffles with cream and blueberries. I always have some berries in my freezer, and today I was out of strawberries and raspberries. My blueberry waffles were perfect, almost like starting the day with a bacon & cheese omelet. I mean, it was not a healthy breakfast, but once in a while, it is a nice way of starting a Sunday.

Currently, I am reading a lot about cardiac health. My heart is my focus of interest. I love to measure my pulse and see how exercise affects my heart. I know what to eat to have a healthy heart. This weekend was an exception. Usually, I have grains with blueberries or raspberries. The heart is such a global symbol of peace and love.

I will soon go to the United Kingdom where my last book began. A smooth transition to my third book.

 

 

 

 

International relations

Today, I will see people from Uppsala University where I studied pharmacy. A lot has happened since then. I was actively working at the Student organization, and I was particularly interested in international relations. Something that I grew up with and still am very interested in. That is actually why I started this blog. I have met many people throughout life and this is a way of staying in touch.

When I was on vacation, I finally had time to polish my nails. The business owner had a daughter who also is a pharmacist. Unfortunately, I got a headache when I visited USVI. I asked for the closest pharmacy and was recommended a shop 300 meters away. It was a very little grocery store. The man over the counter didn´t know any pharmacy. After a while, we found out that Paracetamol is the same as Acetaminophen. Two tablets (à 500 mg) in a sachet was 1$ (USD). My headache disappeared, and it was a new experience of getting medicine over the counter.

At Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (USVI), I saw two planes from the American Air Force. A few days later after my return to Sweden, we became members of NATO. Two American planes from the American Airforce flew over Uppsala where I used to study. Life has changed in Sweden. We are a little bit safer, and together with other countries, we are working for peace and stability in the world.

Stay tuned and stay safe 🐾

Addicted to Writing & Leisure

When I left Henry E. Rohlsen Airport in the USA I saw two military planes. That made me go back to attention again. The Ukraine-Russia war is ongoing. To stay alert is important. I always get the impression that life is easygoing in the USA. Perhaps just because I have always been on holiday when being there.  I have started with exercise again. Lifting weights makes me stronger. When I travelled, I could easily carry my luggage which also made me think of body-pump workout.

It is always good to change the way of living sometimes. I have safely returned to Stockholm. Yesterday, I went to see Molly since it was so fun to meet JJ. I believe JJ must be some kind of a dachshund. Just like Molly but with shorter legs. The train I usually catch to the countryside passes by the airport Arlanda. Yesterday there was some kind of fire on the railroad. I had to wait for hours. No buses. I just had to wait. Returning to the countryside made me return very fast to my habits and daily life.

I must admit that I would rather stay on the sofa than go for exercise this weekend. However, I know the music makes me in a good mood. I picked up the tune above at one of the airports, and I could not get it out of my mind. A real feel-good song.

Stay safe 🐾
