Day 32

The sun was shining all day today.  It was still on or around zero degrees outside, but sitting in the office looking out at the blue skies and green grass felt good.  Apparently we’re expecting some cold weather come this weekend, but for the moment it’s nice.

Jens and I are going to try and give Vallåsen another go this Friday, so it’s early starts for me for the next few days (to make up for leaving early on Friday).  There’s no more school holidays and the sun should still be around, so hopefully I actually get some downhill action this time.

Had a good lunch today – pork medallions with pepper gravy and, of course, boiled potatoes.  I’ve never really eaten much pork at home but I quite like it.  It’s certainly much more common here in Sweden than it seems to be back home.  At the supermarket there’s always a big section of pork, as big if not bigger than the beef section.  Lamb, on the other hand, is hard to find and very expensive.

The sun was still shining while I was making my way home so I got off the bus a few stops before mine and walked home.  Finally tracked down that windmill I can see from the bus each day – right in the middle of a bunch of houses.  Stopped past the old cemetery as well and got some shots just as the sun was disappearing behind the houses.

 

Gotcha!

Spaghetti for dinner tonight, no sauce – just butter and parmeasan cheese like we used to have as kids.  Made plans to go to an ice hockey game on Sunday in Malmö.  It’s the last game of the season:  Malmö Redhawks vs AIK (from Stockholm).  It’s not the top league, it’s the division below (kind of like the VFL), but should be fun all the same.  Going with one of the guys from work and his son – they’ve never been to a hockey game either.

Just finished watching ‘The Tournament’ (5.5/10) and about to hit the sack early.
