Child´s play
On Sunday I realised I am probably the only mother at my son's 

daycare who doesn't take him to different activities every evening/ weekend so we went to football school on Sunday for the first time and he really liked it, and of course a few of his mates from the daycare were there. I spoke a little to the parents and they discussed if their children should have 2, 3 or 4 activities a week or if that was too much. How can a child of 4 have three or more activities a week? And how can a child at that age know if that is what he/she wants to do? It seems more as if it is the parents' wishes that are forming the decisions rather than the child's wish. One of the children from the daycare went to hockey, football and karate. Typical "boy" activities so at least if my son is going to have that many activities soon I hope at least that he wants to go to for instance dancing or something that is not so male /sports oriented...

I cannot be Swedish

Is it supposed to be this way? Cold at home (19C), cold at work (we have filed a complaint) and cold outside. February must be the most horrid month of all with those icy winds and snow one day and rain the next. I don't even want to get into the discussion about clothes; I am wearing four sweaters, two pairs of trousers, gloves, a hat and a long coat and I am still cold. I look and feel like a Michelin man. If I cannot move to a warm(er) country soon I will not make it as it feels as if I lose four months (November to February if not longer) of my life every year because it is so damn cold and dark that I just spend every evening indoors with a cup of tea in front of the TV. Sure, that can be cosy too, but four months is too long a period to have a non-life. I cannot be Swedish -I must have been an African in a previous life as I seriously cannot stand the cold.

What's new

1) My son has a new hairdo, he is so cute and looks much older (see picture)
2) Internet dating is going OK- I am writing to a 44-year-old man who seems very nice and intelligent, and funny.
3) I am still seeing my fling a lot, almost every week. Soon I will say something about my feelings for him, SOON, I promise!
4) I am starting my training routine this week; yoga, pilates and aerobics. Not bad! Suddently I have regained some of my energy so that is great.
5) Work is going well. No changes there.
6) Watched the film The Holiday again last, with Jude Law and Kate Winslet. It gives me hope!
7) I am reading The Art of Being Kind by Dr Stefan Einhorn who is a doctor at the cancer clinic here where I work. It is a very interesting read. Kindness can never be overrated.
Have a good week!

New and fresh?
This week is all about work, and it started with a bang. I have had many students visit me these past few days as many of them are applying to go abroad in spring and autumn. I am so excited for them. Maybe they will end up staying eight years instead of four months like I did in Amsterdam. That is what I find inspiring with my job: meeting all these Swedish and foreign students who are studying abroad or will study abroad. I wish I could go again! (In the photo: my sister in the white hat, her friend, my sister's boyfriend and my son on the island of Asperö at New Year, going for a nice walk).
