Malmö hang out

My last days in Sweden are soon coming to an end and I am trying hard to squeeze out the most of it. I am back in Malmö and the Nobel-collective since wednesday after a short stop in Uppsala and a visit at Norby (my brother and his family). By the time I left for Malmö I had already been several different animals, read bed time stories and just spent some very fine quality time with the two little ones (Tova 5 yrs and Vidar 3 yrs).

Just one dissapointment, as I picked up Tova at her pre-school I couldn't help to notice how the activities among the children didn't seem to have changed since I went to school. The girls were sewing and talking about curly versus straight hair, while the boys were playing cards and doing other boyish stuff. Well, during the 10 minutes I spent there, I sure couldn't make a qualified analysis of the general situation at pre-schools in Sweden today (but I can make one up if you want to!)... but I just wish the little girls didn't have to spend any time at all thinking about how to organise their hair when that means thinking less of more important things, whatever that might be.
But well, maybe they will turn out as ultra radical feminists anyways, haha... who knows.

Ok. Since I got back to Malmö I have tried to pack my things, empty my room and run like one hundred small errands. I have done quite well! I took a shot for tyfoid fever, didn't hurt at all, actually I kind of enjoy taking shots! I am lucky that way, but on the other hand I can't take the thought of crawling larvae without being disgusted, nor can I hardly look at the orange envelope from the "Allmänna pensionsfonden" without panicking. I guess we all have our weaknesses...

Yesterday was a very good and soft day. I spent about 5 hours drinking coffee with a princess and after a gourmet dinner á la Nobel with two of my sisters (Linda and Julli) we all went out to Möllan to continue socializing! It is clear that Möllan is too small for our excessive company, the tables were too few.
Except for a male idiot harrassing Jessica the night was mighty fine!

Today: packing, emptying my room (has been an ongoing project since wedensday night but doesn't seem to be advancing) and hopefully some running. How I have missed the track in Pildammsparken (the park of the arrowdamm...), all three of them... well well. After having had the hills and forest paths in Norrland to run on, it will be a challenge to find the motivation to run in Malmö.

So. Thank you for commenting on this blog. Keep doing that!
