Sheffield Wednesday loose 12 points and go into administration. Sounds horrible, right? Yet a lot of fellow supporters are today celebrating. Ticket sales up, merch sales up. That’s how much the fans love the owner…

On the bus to Oslo. We just crossed the border to Norway. No wall. No checkpoint.

Person on the bus (P1) watches videos without earphones. Annoying. Racist person (P2) tells P1 to put earphones on so they won’t have to listen to Arabs in the video. More annoying.
P1 responds “they’re not Arabs, they speak Hindi” and keeps watching the video without earphones.
We have a winner!

Today’s class is about being a decent person in public spaces.
1. YOUR BAGS DO NOT NEED THEIR OWN SEAT ON THE BUS.
2. WHEN A MOTHER AND HER TODDLER ENTERS THE BUS YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER SEAT NEXT TO SOMEONE ELSE SO THE MOTHER AND THE CHILD CAN SIT TOGETHER.

Working with DR this weekend. Client has corruption. Transaction log backups failed a week before they saw. Can’t take tail log backup of db. Copy of datafile and attach single file shows data wasn’t written to data files for a whole week, only to transaction logs.
Yay.

Arrived in Visby, Gotland yesterday. Mandatory ice cream stop in this wonderful garden with a view over Baltic Sea.
This week is medieval week in Visby but I stick to my 80s outfit.

No running today. But a lot of walking. Through Stockholm, in the #pride parade.
I have been there several times but this was the first year I was IN the parade. Hard to decide on section: ”We march for those who can’t”, ”Proud parents” eg.
We decided to join the section with the best music.

10k today. No walking. I instead kept a strict eye on my heart rate and slowed my pace when it neared 160. In the long run, I want it at around 150 but stamina isn’t there yet. Keeping HR low makes it easier to increase training volume without risk if injury.

Some news for non Schengen travellers to Sweden: From Oct 12, travellers must get their face photographed and their fingerprints taken, like ESTA and other travellers to US has for quite some time.
Expect delays in your travel plans if your first point of entry to the Schengen area is Sweden.

My friends daughter has been in respiratory care. They came in to an ER in one part of the country. Then flown to the university hospital near us. Still in intensive care but out of respiratory. She has covid and a bacteria infection.
Without a single payer system, she wouldn’t be with us today.

Today another 5k run. My legs hurt a little, the way they do if you sit all day and then try to run. So I kept a really slow pace and ran the whole 5k without walking. One minute slower than when I last ran a 5k with 100m walking every km. strava.app.link/oyDqmii8oVb

Enjoying another beautiful Swedish summer evening in Gagnef, Dalecarlia. Forecast for tomorrow says rain all day, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Summer so far has been superb, which really doesn’t happen every year for us.
What DOES happen every year for us is five to six weeks paid vacation :)

5k run in the books today. Followed by dinner and drinks with friends so I guess that nullified the effect. But it’s all good. Making it a habit is what counts for now.

Slowly getting back into running. 20kg extra weight makes it hard but I’m trying to get out 3-4 times per week. I run 400 and walk 100, to control the heart rate and to last a little longer each time.
I wish there were easy ways to do it. But I know keeping it up comes with a nice reward.

New ”haircut” and sweden-shirt on. I’m ready to knock England out of Euro 2025.
(Shirt is for Swedish junior roller derby team but it does have the right colour).

I don’t know if this is typical Swedish but it’s really annoying.
If I ask a visitor “would you like a cup of coffee” they often answer “did you already make some, otherwise don’t bother just for me”.
Like they wouldn’t be worth the 30 second hassle of making a cup of coffee.
