Home

Am back in England, its colder here than in Stockholm funnily enough. I got up at 4.30 to take the 7.05 flight so I could go straight to the office. A great idea in October when I booked the ticket, less ideal today. My bag weighs 0.8kg less than when I left, so I brought presents for about 8 persons and they obviously gave me about the same amount back.

Most interesting present: knitted "hat" for the gear stick
Best food: Cardamom crunch Marcus made for the apple pie
Best drink: Hot Mint Cocktail at Ljunggrens
Best moment: Karin realizing the mobile phone box actually contained a mobile phone
Best purchase: three paper stars for the window, half price at Otto Dahlin

I love that I no longer leave Stockholm at 7 something when I go visit you. It's great to arrive early but to leave the house at 5? Insane.
When are you going to Hongkong?

I think you should start collecting hats for gear sticks. You could bring a nice one back from China. I could try and get you a chintzy hungarian one. Something to sell on ebay once you are old and wise?

As for getting up at 5am to catch a 7am flight. Are you bonkers?
