SvenskaMy friend Anu did her medical residency training in the UK, and I visited her when I was in Norway. I worked at Boots Pharmacy, and every year we did something together as part of staff development to become even better as a team. We traveled to London once and did a study visit to one of Boots’ flagship store pharmacies on Oxford Street in central London.
I was in charge and had worked in Norway for a few years. When I spoke, it was Norwegian-Swedish. As a gift for Boots, we had a Norwegian flag that was placed next to a Portuguese flag in their office. I never had to use my prepared statement at the airport security check. A Swedish woman, with a Norwegian flag? My colleagues were happy.
Currently, there are difficult times in the world. It feels safe to constantly carry the years from Norway with me. Many collegues were military trained and worked as civilians in pharmacies. I trained at Elixia then and am now trying to recreate the same feeling.
This Tuesday, I focus on training. In the countryside, I usually do my jogging and finish with a cool, slow dog walk. Lady is no more. Molly knows for sure that she is a source of inspiration for the next book. You can tell in the photo below. In Stockholm, I was lucky enough to find the dog Benno, who looks a bit like Lady. He lived in Switzerland for a while but has now returned to Sweden. He is always happy when he gets to devote himself to his `social media’ in Humlegården.
Finally, I think we should definitely reconsider Pehr G. Gyllenhammar’s proposal that Norway and Sweden should merge. Gyllenhammar was stopped by Thorbjörn Fälldin, I remember.
Stay safe 🐾
