Heading in briefly for work
Today was the first department APT (arbets plats träff, the obligatory monthly meeting for the entire department) after summer break, so I went in for it. I could have instead attended the same meeting in English next Friday, but then we willbe on our way to an Archery event in the Stockholm area.
The meeting ran from 09:00 to 09:45, and I looked at the bus schedule to see that the next bus was at 10:15. So I packed the computer and my sewing into my backpack, and then ran into Phil, who was on his way to get a good cup of coffee from the machine in Humlab.
So I joined him, and got even more progress on my sewing as we chatted, till 10:15. I looked at the bus GPS, and saw that it was still at the hospital, so I went over to the uni bus stop and caught it there. The busride was long enough to workthrough most, but not all of the tasks arising from the day’s email, so after a lunch break and helping Keldor with the laundry, I sat back down to the computer and cleared out the rest of the inbox before 16:00, when I ended my work day.
black currants
By then the pillow cases were dry, and Keldor confessed that while he liked my help putting the bed back together he had bern looking forward to surprising me with clean sheets already accomplished before I came home, but I arrived hours before expected.
After work I showed Kalle the blanket stitch, so he could sew shut the layers of his new kidney belt, then I went out to the blackcurrant area on the other side of the highway and picked 5 yoghurt buckets full of berries.
When I got home they were cooking, so I put the berries in the fridge and curled up on the couch with a book for an hour or so, and then washed the berries and got them into the dehydrator after they’d finished eating and washing up.
a pleasant evening
Bryan dropped by while I was still dealing with the berries, and we four spent a pleasant evening talking crafts and SCA stuff. I eventually joined Gilbert in zoom for yoga and training, a bit later than usual, and didn’t get to sleep till
Neatly 23:30.
