Arrived in Visby, Gotland yesterday. Mandatory ice cream stop in this wonderful garden with a view over Baltic Sea.
This week is medieval week in Visby but I stick to my 80s outfit.

No running today. But a lot of walking. Through Stockholm, in the #pride parade.
I have been there several times but this was the first year I was IN the parade. Hard to decide on section: ”We march for those who can’t”, ”Proud parents” eg.
We decided to join the section with the best music.

Ja!!

10k today. No walking. I instead kept a strict eye on my heart rate and slowed my pace when it neared 160. In the long run, I want it at around 150 but stamina isn’t there yet. Keeping HR low makes it easier to increase training volume without risk if injury.

Some news for non Schengen travellers to Sweden: From Oct 12, travellers must get their face photographed and their fingerprints taken, like ESTA and other travellers to US has for quite some time.
Expect delays in your travel plans if your first point of entry to the Schengen area is Sweden.

We don’t have a perfect system in Sweden. Getting an appointment with a doctor at the health center takes time and I rarely see the same doctor next time. But intensive care, trauma, cancer treatment etc is amazing. And skipping the ”who pays for what” game makes it cost effective too.

I tried to respond too, but my app says the account you replied to is suspended.

”Farvel og tak, bror lort”. Starkt!

Det gnager i mig att de påstår Israel har radikaliserats senaste månaderna. Så är det inte. Det har varit så här illa mycket längre än så.

My friends daughter has been in respiratory care. They came in to an ER in one part of the country. Then flown to the university hospital near us. Still in intensive care but out of respiratory. She has covid and a bacteria infection.
Without a single payer system, she wouldn’t be with us today.

Today another 5k run. My legs hurt a little, the way they do if you sit all day and then try to run. So I kept a really slow pace and ran the whole 5k without walking. One minute slower than when I last ran a 5k with 100m walking every km. strava.app.link/oyDqmii8oVb

Städar ur svärmormors vind och hittar baptismsamfundets Vecko-Posten från 1 december 1938.

This is my view if I look to the left from where I sat at the last picture.
We don’t have a lot of the everyday luxury of our ordinary home up here (central heating, hot water etc) but who cares when we have this.

Enjoying another beautiful Swedish summer evening in Gagnef, Dalecarlia. Forecast for tomorrow says rain all day, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Summer so far has been superb, which really doesn’t happen every year for us.
What DOES happen every year for us is five to six weeks paid vacation :)

5k run in the books today. Followed by dinner and drinks with friends so I guess that nullified the effect. But it’s all good. Making it a habit is what counts for now.

Yes! And this is why it’s worth investing in software collecting logs from everywhere to store them in a secure, accessible and searchable way.

My client had maybe 50 people in the tech departments, so it was hard. They mostly pulled it off. Some really brilliant people working there, but they could have spent their days doing more productive things IMO.

I worked for a client who did everything analytic in AWS and everything operational was migrated from on-prem to Azure. I never understood why they put their analytics platform in AWS, but it was “interesting” to troubleshoot event sourcing interruptions.

Yes! I lost a lot of sleep by just-another-episode-before-I-go-to-bed-ing it.

If you're organizing an event or a usergroup, here's your recurring reminder that I'm sharing some tools I made for myself:

* @callfordataspeakers.com to find speakers
* QR code scanning solution for your sponsors
* Session evaluation/feedback app

RTs appreciated ❤️

Bruce får jag nog inte med 17-åringen till men jag är mycket nöjd över att hon ville gå på Thåström med mig.

I burnt my head in the sun. Luckily I found this very stylish hat on a flee market.

Slowly getting back into running. 20kg extra weight makes it hard but I’m trying to get out 3-4 times per week. I run 400 and walk 100, to control the heart rate and to last a little longer each time.
I wish there were easy ways to do it. But I know keeping it up comes with a nice reward.

It’s because the ball has to actually hit between the poles and below the bar to score…

Penalty shootout. Not worthy a championship game.

New ”haircut” and sweden-shirt on. I’m ready to knock England out of Euro 2025.

(Shirt is for Swedish junior roller derby team but it does have the right colour).

Now we’re talking!

And for me, I go for a “snutkaffe” over a barista made latte every day if the week :)

It’s Sweden. Fancy coffee is usually not a thing. We have our filter coffee brewers and we drink large volumes daily. Fancy coffee happens in cafés.
