Special visitor
So excited to have a visitor from the US. Mario currently lives in New Hampshire but we met in Gig Harbor, Washington 15 years ago when I had my scandinavian shop. We hit it off and have been friends ever since. He and his husband Mark came to see me just before I found out…

Voting
Voting in Sweden was an experience. It only happens every 4 years and 3 different votes. Local, Regional, and the entire country. One votes for a party more than a person but you can also vote for a specific person in the party. Whoever the top winners and/or the party leader are the people voted…

Gravestones
Not a lot happening this week but I did manage to take a walk to folketspark which was only 7 minutes and met a friend for a picnic. I had the best falfal and hullomi there. We discussed politics as we were going to go and vote but I could not decide who I would…

I survived
Yesterday was a year since he left me. I did not think I would survive but here I am, alive and well. I have learned a great deal about myself. I have had a lot of ups and downs in between, including waking up crying from a dream about us just the other night. But…

Exploring
Got dressed up for one final night at the festival. My hair is getting long enough to pull back a bit. Definitely going to miss how easy it is to go into town from this location and already miss the summer ticket where I could go anywhere in my county for one fee for 2…
