Finally, I arrived. I have somehow started to miss writing. Real writing, I mean writing a book. Some years have passed and I have needed that time to reflect, and sometimes really to understand what I have written. Now I have a very clear feeling about my book “Generationer”, and am ready for the next chapter in my life. My writing life.

Right now I am experiencing Swedish summer, but so much more humidity. This island is green and last night there was some heavy rain leading to more humidity today. I got up very early and started with a hot cup of coffee in this very ancient building. President George W. Bush stayed here some years ago. The military has always been more or less present here. When I got on the plane yesterday, the military entered first. Something we are getting used to now in Sweden, I mean, the presence of the military in society.

I will spend these days to collect some new energy. That will absolutely be needed this spring. The last time I was here I went scuba diving. I went for a little walk this morning, and somehow, it is a relaxing feeling to listen to the tubes being filled with air for today’s scuba adventure. There are sharks here, but rather kind sharks I have been told.

Stay safe, and stay tuned 🐾

Nice to travel again. Amazed by huge airports, and that they work smoothly even though there are so many passengers. Security check for domestic flights in the USA was like going through an MR scan. Feels good. Well, having access to Wi-Fi means staying more online. No time to not be available.

I have started to think of my next book. It will also take time, and I have a very good theme. Simple but very complicated. Found this citation by Jon Fosse “I usually summarize it somewhat, simply by saying that my goal is to write simply and deeply at the same time. Not complicated, but it should appear simple. Everyone can write complicated, it is very simple. But to write clearly and simply, and at the same time deeply, that is something else. It is difficult.” This is actually why I needed seven years for my last book.

I love spending time at airports. It is no man’s land and relaxing.

I couldn´t resist. Technology in the air has been restricted for a long time. For safety reasons. Wi-Fi hasn´t been working during my previous flights. Perhaps too short flights. It is a rather long time ago I made a transatlantic flight. I just saw a movie and am not in the mood to watch another one. Even though Bond movies are the only ones I can watch again and again and again. This time Skyfall. Let´s see if Wi-Fi works.

Stay tuned

This week has been a friendly week with Valentine´s Day this Tuesday. Important to take care of each other. Yesterday I went to see Molly, and she was very happy as usual. I was planning to go skiing with her but it was so rainy. Snow, rain, darkness, but we know it will get better soon. Since I will join “Tjejmilen” this year, you will see me jogging in the countryside.

I went by train and bus to the countryside. Every year we have chaos in Sweden due to the snow. We know it is coming every year, and we get surprised like it never happened before. This year has been extremely chilly, and it has affected the trains in Sweden. The CEO of SJ went public and apologized for all the delays. She got a lot of criticism. I liked what she did. She was honest.

Happy Valentines weekend
