My post-lockdown commute back to work

[Mendip]

9 days to go...


We had a bit of snow last night, but it didn't come to anything. Tomorrow is Epiphany, a public holiday in Sweden. I hope they use the time to take down all the Christmas decorations. Bah humbug.



I'm trying to take a few more photos before I leave next week. Here's another container ship being unloaded at Gothenburg docks this morning.

I'd like to say that after all this time I'll miss these views once I'm gone... but I won't in the fukkin slightest.

It was minus 2 walking in today and my freshly washed hair had ice in it by the time I arrived at the office.




I got my LOI (Letter of Guarantee) from the company today to cover my travel, with the added text stating that I've been in Gothenburg since September... just in case there are any problems travelling with a British passport. I printed off four copies, one for each of my travel wallets! There really is nothing left to do now, other than get a negative Covid test result and a Fit to Fly certificate next week. I must admit I'm not getting a lot of work done now... I seem to spend most of my time looking at my travel wallets and thinking about getting off the plane in Bangkok next Friday.

My mind is also drifting to projects with my daughter once I get back home in Korat...

I picked up these last night.



There is a saying that you can give a man a fish and he can have tea, give him a fishing rod and he can have tea every night. I think in the same VEIN... give a kid a conker and she can learn to play conkers. Grow a Horse Chestnut Tree and she can play conkers every year. Well, at least her kids'll be able to. So there's my first project, right there.
