Autumn

As usual, it got cold quite suddenly. You get spoiled with the nice weather and take it for granted. Yesterday was the “Lidingö running race”, which I don’t dare to do yet. It is known to be very tough. Today I wonder when it will be winter time, but a whole month is left until we change the clock.

I look back on the summer; the highlight was a garden party with friends and family. The oldest participant is almost 99 years old. So wonderful! There was a lot of planning and preparation. As you can see in the picture above, my dear childhood friend was there. We share so many great memories. We had greenery and lovely weather. Unfortunately, it feels like it is a long time until next summer, but autumn and winter also have their respective charms.

Last summer weekend

It has been such a nice summer – like it used to be. In recent years, it has been extremely hot. I ask myself if there is a natural explanation or if it falls within normal variation. I like to stay outdoors when it is summer, and this weekend was a good rounding off of the summer. It is already getting darker in the evenings.

Five years ago I took part in “Tjejmilen”. It was also a fantastic sunny day. Then the pandemic came and I started cycling instead. I didn´t want to go subway etc. to avoid getting infected. I keep my new habit of cycling and feel that I miss my jogging habits, which have been on the shelf for a few years. The oldest participant was 93 years old. She was inspiring!

At midnight yesterday

My dog ​​Molly taught me how to take selfies, so if it hadn’t been for her there wouldn’t have been a photo yesterday. I had forgotten what it was like to be in a race. I stepped out of my comfort zone. All the memories from previous races came flooding back. Sometimes I have had company and sometimes I have joined anyway. Those who participate always have the same interest, so meeting new people is easy.

My training was affected by COVID-19, which started in 2020. I started cycling instead to reduce the risk of getting infected. Now the pandemic is over and it was somehow liberating to be in the race yesterday.

Summer, identity fraud, COVID-19 and party 🎉

Right now I am carefully following my recommendations to stay safe. After being subjected to serious identity fraud, I am trying in every way to protect myself. It was at a high level because my former supervisor Professor Jörgen Engel was attacked first. A few days later, friends of mine got in touch telling me that someone was trying to launder money through me. Very creepy, I thought. I recently paid back my student-finance loan.

Now it is only forward that counts. I have been busy organizing a big party in the countryside. Many thanks to everyone who participated and also helped to make it a nice get-together party. It was a fantastic and beautiful day and we were able to be out in the garden. It also felt like a starting point for my two books, which were Lady’s books. Now I can focus 100% on Molly’s book.

COVID-19 is no longer to be considered a socially dangerous disease. However, a party in the fresh country air couldn’t have been better since there have been a lot of viruses on the move during the summer. It should be noted that WHO still has a lot of information about covid https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus#tab=tab_1  In addition, it is good to remember to use hand sanitizer and keep your distance when necessary. And stay home if you are sick.

Tomorrow I will take part in the Midnattsloppet in Stockholm. After being exposed to this serious identity theft, my thoughts went to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2023/04/us/boston-marathon-bombing-anniversary/  Security level is still classified as high (4/5) in Sweden. It is important to be careful.

It is 14 years since I took part in Midnattsloppet in Göteborg. I searched for my finish time but it wasn’t there, but my friend Liza´s finishing time was there. Moreover, I also found out that the Midnattsloppet is canceled this year in Gothenburg. Strange. I remember though that there were some, for me, challenging slopes. In Stockholm, there is a challenging hill at Midnattsloppet. There is no doubt that I will be exhausted at Södermalm tomorrow.
