Our little weekend trip started with a night at the car park in Strängnäs. Then we continued to Avesta, where we stayed in the car park outside Coop ... We first thought of continuing on somewhere, but then we ended up staying. We cooked a really good dinner in the motorhome, and then we decided to try the nightlife in Avesta. A really good evening!

Due to the floods in Thailand, I have to write about travelling and risk perception. The floods are approaching the centre of Bangkok and many Bangkok residents are leaving the city. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises against non-essential travel to Bangkok and 26 provinces in the country. Despite all the disaster news, lots of Swedes are travelling to Thailand these days. How does our risk perception really work?

Our motorhome has been sitting in the car park for a few weeks and it's getting cold and raw outside. We have now installed the "Torrbollen" moisture absorber. The dry ball will remove excess moisture and reduce the risk of mould and bad odours. It is suggested for the winter storage of boats and caravans, among other things.

The cold and darkness has just arrived and (from bitter experience) you know that it will stay for a while. More and more conversations on the internet are starting to appear in the form of "I want to go away for a week in January. Where should I go to get sun and warmth without having to travel so far?". Well, that's such a semi-impossible equation (given that we live bizarrely far north). Here are some suggestions from us. What are your best tips?

Here is a book tip that is also a film tip. Li Cunxin grows up as a poor peasant boy in communist China. His family barely has enough food for the day, but he learns early on that, thanks to Chairman Mao, he lives in the richest country in the world. Imagine how terrible the people in the capitalist world must be!

Peter read Three Seconds in the summer of 2009. I remember exactly when he opened the first page. We were on the ferry between Ystad and Swinoujscie at the time, heading down to Europe with the camper van. After just a few lines, he looked up and asked "What is the name of this boat?".

As you may know, I lecture from time to time. One of the advantages of this is that you get to visit a lot of different nice and interesting places in Sweden (conferences are often held in old fine farms, mansions, world houses and mills). Today I have been to Gysinge Bruk in Gästrikland.

Last month we asked about cooking in the motorhome. Most people answered that they usually "cook something simple", although many also "cook something delicious". Kitchens in modern motorhomes are good, but of course you have less space to move around than at home and it's nice to not have too many pots and pans.

Of course you want to take the opportunity to eat seafood in Smögen. The very best seafood is supposed to be here, and if there's one thing we really love, it's prawns, crayfish, crabs and the like. The fog is thick as you can see and the air is quite cold, but what does that matter when you can feast on delicious seafood?
