2019-03-07 – The preparation day

An early morning was already planned since I needed to wash my clothes before leaving on vacation. Due to this I had also planned (definitively not in this order) a visit to my foot specialist, buying (replacing my awesome golden case) a new phone case, pack everything, water and put the plants in the bathtub (let’s hope that’s enough for four weeks of abandonment, otherwise Fredrik’s plants finally died on me) and of course going to the hairdresser.

Now, one may think, what about the chili plants, how will they survive?! The careful care of them along with one of the mothers were already last Friday transferred to Marika (a close colleague with the love of gardening), whom I trust will care real good for them.

Then I had some extra – planned of course – time to clean the apartment and put on some new bed linens, so that when I get home I don’t have to bother with that. A shout out and big thanks to my mum for getting that tradition imprinted in my mind since we were kids.

Then around 3 pm it was time to get moving, for sure, it was a little bit early but I’d not flown out from Malmö Airport for quite some time. I went there by the Flygbussarna and arrived a little after 4 pm, with a light package – the bag looks full & heavy but only weighed in on 12 kg. My carry-on felt heavier with all the technology necessary (?) for a trip like this.

After the mandatory vacation drink I boarded the Norwegian aircraft for Stockholm.

A while later I arrived to Stockholm Central by the Arlanda Express and Jonny was waiting on the platform to welcome me to the Capital. We bought some food to-go for dinner and headed off to Axelsberg. The risotto and cured meat dinner tasted well enough along with some red wine and then Jonny started his packing procedure.
