SvenskaI still have a little pain from this sport induced inflammation. Tomorrow I will give it a try and go for training. To see what it feels like. I cannot run for some time, but I can do other forms of exercise. I have set up a little training schedule that I can do at home. Will see if I have the disciplin needed. Wish me luck!

I am not very often haunted by sports injuries, but right now, I have an inflammation that needs to be taken care of. This means rest and anti-inflammatory treatment. I will re-start with some stretch next week.
In two weeks there is political election in Sweden. There are so many parties in Sweden so it really is a big mess. No clear distinction between left and right wing. But that is probably due to political development. A century ago, after First World War (1918), politics was different. Today, the Swedish social security system is well developed, and internationally recognised. What I would like to see more about is “How can politics generate more employment opportunities?”. This is a political question that will always be a hot topic. Or should a general “medborgarlön” be introduced? That is a salary from the government funded by tax. To conclude, I would like to see more focus on how politicians can generate more job opportunities.
Yes, I wrote Stockholm weekend. I will rest, read, go to movie and “fika”. Fika is the Swedish afternoon tea. Always very cosy. Last weekend I found this drawing above. Very cute. Don’t you agree? I miss my sweetie. I know she is taken care of. A neighbour will go for a walk with her.
Bon weekend.
I devote my sparetime to reading and writing. Today I visited “bokbordet” for the first time with a colleague of mine. Bokbordet is a very good idea. You rent a table and sell books. We were lucky since there was no rain. Just an afternoon for strolling around the streets. A lot of people had had the same idea. Busy streets.
It was my first time to Norra Latin, an old school but today used for conferences etc. There was a guided tour and we saw some paintings made by Bruno Liljefors, Prins Eugen and Carl Larsson. Some were directly painted on the walls that had taken years, very time-consuming. It is always beautiful and it also tempts my fantasy when I see paintings because there is often a fascinating history behind. I like to watch paintings since they may change the more you watch. Perhaps you can woven your own fantasy into the story of the painting.
Sharing some photos from today. Bokbordet, norra latin and a woman performing theatre, Strindberg (en dåres försvarstal).
Next week everything will return to usual habits. It is still warm but there is a feeling of autumn approaching. It has been so warm so I am almost happy that it will be a little chillier. It hasn’t been this warm in several centuries, I heard. Some rain has, however, changed the lawns greener. The grass is no longer dry.
I haven’t been writing so much since I need to read some to reflect on what I have written. I read books from a different angle now. It has taken many years to find my own style of writing, so therefore, it is interesting to read other authors.
Previously, I have told you that I have stayed a year in France where my interest in languages appeared. When I returned to Sweden I read this book by Simone de Beauvoir. That was decades ago so I will read it again now. Don’t remember much. I stayed with a French family and the mother was called Simone.
Every day I see this creative art below on the walls in the subway, so daily I think of Simone de Beauvoir. Re-reading this book will be interesting since I have more life experiences. Maybe, I will read some of Sartre. They had a life long relationship.
