Another day in the life of...

Greetings from the other side.

Every day is still a new adventure. In the sense that I still learn something new every day. Yesterday, for example, I learned not to buy regular sparkling water (Sv: kolsyrat vatten, som Loka fast annat märke) at the local shop anymore. 2 bottles of 1,5 liters each cost me 5 euros. For my family and friends back in Sweden, that's bordering on 50kr. So from now on I will be buying things like that when we go into the city to do the weekly shopping, should I need it.

Yesterday and today I have had my first introductions to my new job. It's been quite interesting, I must say, and a lot to take in at the start. Though I am sure I will get the hang of it as time goes by. Amongst today's work-related excursions, was included a part that unfortunatelly resulted in us standing outside in the pouring rain under a tree (and not one that was very well suited for keeping the rain out) for about 20 minutes or so, before it subsided enough that we could move some place more sheltered. Anyway, despite that it was an interesting day with lots of information and a lot of stuff to take in and memorize.

I am also starting to find my way around my new home better. Have been learning how the woodburner works for the heating, and was out earlier today and did some "maintenance" work - i.e. I pulled out a couple of small trees that were growing right next to the house before they would grow up and become a problem for the house's foundation.

All in all it feels like it has been a fairly productive day.

Today is also the first day that I haven't (yet) heard any thunder in the sky. I am silently hoping and praying that we are done with the thunder now. After about 3-4 days of it, give or take, it would be nice to see some blue sky and sunshine again!

Seems I am slowly getting my creative spark back as well. It sort of comes and goes in patches, but that's better than not having it at all. :)

Will be interesting to see what the rest of the day has to offer!

See you all on the other side!
