Wouha! I just hit a situation where I realized that I’ve lost a skill that was CORE to my life as a Swede! 😮

A friend said they may be on the US west coast for a work trip later this year; week 32.

<sound of dial-up connection as my brain swaps in how to map week numbers to dates>

Holy cow! Before I came to the US I had an innate feel for week-numbers, now I’m all “whatthewhennow?”. 😅 Yikes. I’m losing pieces of my Swedish identity here.

Växjö's "hollow heat" is like our trains – hot mess & never on time! 🥵🚆 Ozzy's chilling, while Sweden's got 100k home shortage but 20k vacant? 🤔 And don't even start on unauthorized teachers or Zelensky's "Trump-esque" moves! 🤣

Why is it so freaking cold!? I'm scared to walk outside but I'll wrap myself up in a scarf and have some hot chocolate when I get back... hot chocolate in freaking May? #SwedishProblems
So far this year there's been four days where I have walked without a hat... it's so cold. Today even the scarf was back on #SwedishProblems

I struggle to say Westeros, it always comes out as Västerås #SwedishProblems
Elk on the loose halts Stockholm metro traffic

No trains are running on the red metro line in southern Stockholm after an elk got loose on the tracks.
