Welcome

Following the crowning of my NHS experience with a stint at a PCT and the resulting redundancy (traumatic, though much wanted and worked for), my husband and I are going back to my roots near a small village in Smaland, Sweden. These are our experiences.

Week in summary

This last week has not been the most eventful, action-packed week of my life. It has been heavy, grey and boring, much like the sky.  Though, of course, in the immortal words of someone or another, it's all in the attitude.
There have been a few highlights, however.

The "Just a tad Worrying" happening - that goes to Psychokitty, who trotted downstair, lined up and looked at her grey fluffy mouse, her black fluffy ex-mouse and the clear plastic innards of ex-mouse, picked up the grey mouse, trotted back upstairs, came down, ate and went upstairs and started to play with the toy.  This was a worryingly large amount of thought for a small cat.  Maybe they could take over the world?

The Most Exciting happening - I collected the last stamp and got a free cup of coffee on my way to the voluntary job at the Second Hand Shop.  Yippee, a free small latte....

Most in need of faith happening - Graham doesn't have much work on at the moment.  Hopefully there is a January/February slump, just as there is in the UK. Still, it gives opportunity to demonstrate a large amount of faith and it did drive me to apply for 3 whole jobs.  Yes, three.

Most suspenseful happening - Three jobs? you say, "gosh, Karin, what were they?" errhh, some sort of admin things, I think.  I'm afraid that I think that I'm caught in the too qualified, but hasn't got the language skill for long reports trap. That, and I haven't worked out the Arbetesformedling's website yet....... Oh well, I'll just have to google "starting an art gallery in your woodshed".  I bet someone's already done it!
Anyway, now I'm waiting for no response.

Apart from that, we've had 15cm snow, it's snowing now. The sun has come out 3 times. I've made a Mississippi Mud Pie. And that's the Week that Was.
