Briefly in Borlänge

A lot has happened since I was in Brussels and wrote the last post. I promise there’ll be an absolute feast of an AIK post soon(ish), a post that only I will cherish, I’m sure ; one that will contain films and pics from the league final (Allsvenskan), the celebrations that night, the [...]

Home, sweet Rome!

Enough is enough! I just want to stay at home now. Please let me stay at home! Got back from Rome, where I’ve been to a conference, at midnight last night. The flat’s a mess – all my pretty bouquets have wilted in my absence, and there was no food in the fridge. And I [...]

In about five hours I’m leaving for Italy and Rome again. This time for a conference on migrant and seasonal workers in agriculture. Should be good, I just wish there was more than four hours of sleep until departure…

Brooke and Russ arrived in the evening, after I’d [...]

Credit Card theft

I was so bummed to hear from Brooke and Russ in France today that both their credit cards have been skimmed We don´t know in what country it happened, but I´ve been very lucky as it hasn´t happened to me. Iĺl be very ashamed if it turns out to be Sweden, but we [...]

Heading to the Balkans

After five awesome days in Italy, namely Rome and Venice, with Brooke and Russ, I’m right now on the Italian/Slovenian border with mom. Tomorrow we’ll make our way across to Bled which looks absolutely stunning, and from there we drive down to Istria and Pula in Croatia. Should be good! But right now I need [...]

Off to Italy

Brooke, Russ and I are headed to Rome, Italy, tomorrow – me in the morning and them in the afternoon. I’m counting on relaxing with an espresso in a piazza on Tuesday whilst they hurry around to see all the sights I’ve already seen, before we all catch the train to Venice mid-day Wednesday. It’ll [...]
