Film. Books. Martial Arts. Tabletop Games. Music. Epileptic. Pottering around. Tea. Englishman and Swedish citizen. Terrible at guitar. Nearest translation to the current job I hold in Sweden is Leisure Educator, which sounds weird. Father of two.

Being made redundant. Walking in the woods and listening to the birds. Trying to find a spot to lie down. What else can I do. Full stop instead of question mark because I don’t expect answers. Just wanted to write it down somewhere.

Sad.

And Marquee Moon by Television randomly started on the radio, and we turned it up as loud as my 6 year old would allow.

It lessened the blow of fastening behind an EPA-traktor, the bane of Swedish country roads.

On the drive to my son’s swimming lesson I’ve seen 4 deer grazing in a field, geese flying overhead, a herd of Highland Cattle pottering around a meadow, a bird of prey swooping down then up into a fir tree, and the sun shining down upon us all. Spring is here, people, and it’s such a pleasure and relief.
While I live in Sweden and hold Swedish citizenship, I’m British, and I was hoping to find some news about the terrible shooting in Örebro from a mainstream news source outside of Sweden. Apparently that’s impossible now without coughing up.

Turns out Stardew Valley is a good game to have on your Nintendo switch when your 6 year old has chickenpox.

Neither of us knows what we’re doing. Mostly just hitting stuff and wandering around.

The egg hunt was somewhat anticlimactic, but catching a first fish, and building a pointless bridge were oddly rewarding.

My (almost) 11 month old and I both have colds. On the one hand I hope that’s all they’ll be. On the other, his developing chickenpox now is better than later.

Ugh

My 6 year old has been sent home with chickenpox. Considering he’s in good humour. Tv, ice cream, and squash isn’t so bad when you’re feeling down.

I think I might be more worn out than him atm

😅

I took away threads. A lot of pleasant interactions. And some less so. Who needs this?
