Focus. To keep focus even though I still have inflammation. Last week I tried some “step” work out. I knew I had to be careful since I cannot run. I cannot do jumps yet, so this is only slow rehabilitation. I don’t get these kind of injuries often, so I know that the best medicin is to rest.

I had a day off today and I was very lucky. I found lots of apples, lots of sunshine and not least, a long walk with sweetie. She used to have pain in her paw, but now it is my turn to have inflammation. Eight km walking. She sometimes has a rest in the forest to find blueberries which she loves! Maybe she is jealous of the Chow Chow dogs that have blue tungs.

I need a good picture to keep up a good spirit. Thought of this from midsummer, June when I ran every day. This one gives me energy.

I 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.
