Distant workplace and another tragedy

08:30

This is extreme I know but I am working in my car at the motorway. Some where about 10 km away there is a truck on fire. Pew! Lots of business phone calls and some Powerpoints. Broadband modem is working once again - I'll send some mails soon.

It took me 3.5 hours to go to my office this morning. usually it takes no more than one hour. I arrived 11:30 and left for a business lunch at 12:30 - 14:30. I managed to work for about 2 of these hours on the motorway with my laptop squeezed between myself and the steering. When I just needed to roll a few meters the laptop stayed in that position - when I needed to roll a few hundred meters I put it aside.

At work I could catch up with what happened. One truck driver is dead - he died in the flames. He drove a car full with chemicals but they are not sure about what kind yet. The fires was so huge and so hot that the concrete was put on fire. The motorway will be closed at least until tomorrow. It will be a long drive home tonight for  me

Now I supposed to work the few remaining hours. Perhaps not the most efficient day in my life but I am pretty content any way. Today I have been in touch with all friends that are really important to me - it means more to me than a full day at work. And I had a really great lunch.

My thoughts are now about the family to the dead truck driver. God bless you all!

Autumn outdoor lunch

My view while eating a shrimp salad wrapped up in a poncho. It was me that was wrapped up - not the salad ;)

This is the park right beside my home office. A great place to escape to for solicitude or some sun.

Alone at the office as so very often. Not bored this day however - plenty  to do and plenty phone calls. Some nice some stressy - but it happens things even if I am alone.

The photographers dilemma

I have started to defeat the fact that I never am visible in photos since I always am the one carrying the camera. But it isn´t easy.

It gets too small ....

9 september - one year later

Me an my oldest one was at the graveyard this Friday - on year after that accident. I didn´t cry neither did my daughter. Not that day.

That grave yard always makes me feel welcomed. We counted to five persons we knew pretty well - all resting within 15 meters. But also the older parts of the grave yard feels friendly. I was thinking about buying a space for my family....it would be nice to have it close to Mona-Lisa.

At the harbour - Rovinj

Luxoury days at a SPA

For the first time I ever we went for a conference - my team at work and the new boss 8my organization is pretty anorectic). We had two lovely days at a SPA at the coastline. Lots of fun & giving tasks to do, white wine in the bubble pool looking out over the sea and marvellous food. There was autumn in the air but never the less very joyful & relaxing.

Last thrembling hours

This is last weekend of my vacation. I cannot say it feels like four weeks. It feels like two. I have never been so busy ever any vacation.

The weather have bern lovely. Mostly sunny summer weather with few short showers. I have only watered the plants 4-5 times.

I sit about 50 meters from the sea. - that is if I am a bird. The step cliffs makes it a few hundred meters to climb down to sealevel. But it is worth it. A superfast lightweight motor boat is waiting there. Sadly water quality is as usual at this part of our country - Saltsjöbaden.

The cottage is built 1930. But the house itself is even older. It was built 1800 and something at Dalarna and was moved here in 30 ies. On the terrace I sit now many famous Swedish actors have been eating and drinking wine. The first owner worked in a Theathre. Ernst Rolf, Tuttan Rolf, Karl Gerhard - who knows. Since there are no questbook I have to ask the neighbour.

I couldnt think of any better place to spend my last thrembling hours of vacation. Work starts Monday.
