SvenskaA day in the countryside. A little chillier than last time. Still green. Trees are changing colours. Feels good that I don’t have to work so much with my book. Just a few pages left to read. My parents and my sweetie were happy to see me. It is always special to go to the place where you have grown up. My father will never understand that I can take care of my own. Now I have returned to Stockholm.
I went for a long walk with my sweetie today. So relaxing. I made an apple cake, and since it is “kanelbullens dag” on the 4th of October, I made some cinnamon rolls for my parents. Meanwhile, I had time to listen to some episodes of “söndagsintervjun” with Jonas Frisén and Rolf Ekeus. They shared their life stories, where Frisén recently has been treated from acute leukemia, and Ekeus told a lot about his diplomatic career. Frisén had had cells from his sister transplanted that were life changing. So, I understand it must feel a bit ironic since he is the father of stem cells. It was very interesting to listen to since I touch upon blood diseases in my book. Ekeus shared his diplomatic view of life where he has played a big role in the Iraq crisis. Maybe Ekeus should have told more about diplomatic immunity. Frisén would definitely need some of that in the healing process.
Recently, to finish my writing I have needed music for inspiration. I have listened to some new music, and also, New York has been on my mind. So, with a glimpse in my eye, I play this “Papa don’t preach song” with Madonna. I used to listen to her, among others, when I grew up. Beautiful scenes from New York.
