Hi there!

The headline of today´s writing might be a bit controversial. But, since I am a pharmacist, I consider medicins to be very important as well. By exercise you reduce the risk of developing diabetes 2, high blood pressure, reduce the amount of unhealthy cholesterol levels etc etc.

Personally, I try to vary different kinds of sports. I love walks. That often give me a chance to catch a moment of life by photograph. Often flowers.

Right now I exercise every day. Even though it is only an hour a day it makes me tired and sleepy. However, it is good to let the body rest for a day or two, because when the body is subjected to training, it is undergoing catabolism and needs time for repair.

When I lived in Norway I trained a lot at Elexia at Kråkerøy. Years have passed. But I remember. This is the nice view I had every day. Beautiful, don’t you agree?

Wishing you a very nice weekend.

Lots of love,

Anna

Difficult. English or Swedish. Ok. English today.

As you know, I follow the news closely. I find it important. Soon election for the European parliament. Very important to vote. For peace, democracy and stability.

I live in Sweden. But things that have happened to me has made me think a lot about Cuba and North Korea. Or does it have anything to do with my Indian background?

Timeless?

Isn´t the flower above lovely?

Lots of love,

Anna

Det märks att det är vår i luften. Ljus och värme. Det glädjer mig. Ja, alltid massa prat om vädret, men det är ju ett outtömligt ämne. Härligt att se grönska sakta komma tillbaka. Och blommor. Jag gillar verkligen blommor. Nu har jag pelargoner som senaste projekt. De har ju övervintrat och är nu på väg att blomma. Så vackra blommor.

Lyssnar mycket på P1. Idag så berördes ett ämne som det talas alldeles för lite om nämligen utveckling av antibiotika resistens. Nya läkemedel med nya verknings mekanismer behövs.

Jag tränar varje dag. Igår bodybalance. Det är jobbigare än det låter. Väldigt bra stretch. Nu väntar 75 minuter cykling. Viktigt att variera träning. Så idag är det konditionsträning.

Hi!

Early morning in Stockholm. Maybe it is age dependent, but I like to wake up, have my cup of coffee, and see a new day slowly wake up. Purity.

Last night I talked to my sweet auntie. She went horse riding in Texas at a very nice ranch and fell of the horse. Hurt her back, but luckily, she is getting better. I am proud to have an auntie still going so strong.

So, what about me? I am applying for jobs. I feel a little sad to have left my colleagues at the pharmacy.

I have written quite a lot about what has been going on with pharmacies in Sweden. And in Norway. I have worked several years in Norway as a Pharmacy manager. And since I have strong feelings for Norway, I was very close to stay.

Due to private reasons, I moved back to Sweden. Pharmacies have been owned by the state during, I think, approximately 40 years, in Sweden. Since I have worked at the University, Industry, Pharmacy, I can compare climate, or rather, “working cultures”. This is something quite difficult to define, but that, I suppose, is written a lot about in management books.

I miss research. I miss helping eager students in pharmacology. However, I have decided to continue with theoretical research. On the other hand, life has shown that serendipity, and unexpected events, make life unpredictable. The charm of life. The beauty of life.

Have a nice day!

Lots of love,

Anna

Hi there!

It is too good to be true. Early morning in Stockholm, and I just enjoy that yesterday continues with today. What I mean is that this “Province atmosphere (from southern France)” seem to continue.

Nice to have a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Just read the news. Waiting for “Public service” on the radio. This is a Swedish program; talking about Swedish news with a glimpse in the eye.

Have you ever noticed that life is so much easier when we have this time of the period of the year? But, maybe, as I wrote before, you need the contrast of winter-summer. Ok, never mind, I must be honest; the thought has crossed my mind that it would be nice to have summer time constantly.

But, a crispy, clear winter day, with sparkling sunshine, skiing, hot chocolate in the snow, come back to your home, listening to some nice classical music, meanwhile the sunset is approaching, finally relaxing in the sofa. That is rather nice as well.

I am a little stiff from yesterdays training. I have trained a lot during the years that have passed by. So I know my body. I have now a program for the whole week so I gradually will build new, fresh energy.

Soon it is time to send the annual economical report to the financial government. I have problems with my E-identity so I have to get some help with that. The papers have been on my table for a too long time now. So tomorrow I will get it out of my hands.

Take care, and have a pleasant Sunday!

Lots of love,

Anna
