Still snowed in


Monday, 27th March

The snow is still bad, but the authorities are making good work clearing it. Sweden is getting on with life. Ben and I checked on our neighbour again and took her dogs to do their business. She reckons she will venture out with them this afternoon, the paths are cleared.

We have built a snowman in our garden. I have not done that since I lived on the farm. We also had a snow fight. We had some lovely freshly made soup and home made bread ( Ben has got the hang of it pretty well now, he found a recipe which works well) and now we have the fire going. Ben is reading, sitting on the floor. It is funny, we are sitting here, comfortably enjoying the snow and the “day off” it brings, while elsewhere people are working in offices, factories, hospitals, experiencing hard ship and fun, and we are very lucky to have the time together. I am looking forward to doing some shifts at Easter, and then I will start regular lectures at the university in May. Hopefully we can

establish some routine.
