Building log houses on an island in Lake Mälaren

If you've been following our blog lately, you'll know that Peter is spending two weeks helping our friends Lennart and Beata build a log cabin on Ringsö in Lake Mälaren. Lennart and Beata have finished the exterior of the summer house themselves, but there is virtually nothing inside. I (Helena) am at home and working these weeks, but of course wanted to come out and visit for the weekend ...!

Advertising: Amsterdam sneakers

Have you been to Amsterdam? I (Helena) have been there on a short work trip once, and after that I have always wanted to come back. And soon it's time for that actually!

Last day at work (17 years with Karolinska Institutet)

Yesterday I packed up the last things from my desk, and today it's time for a brand new job. This last round, I only spent five months at Karolinska Institutet (KI), but on the other hand, I've been there on and off for the past 17 years. No matter how I turned round, it was like 'all roads lead to KI'. But now I really want to do something new! Or yes, I won't completely let go of KI ...

A lot of work right now

It feels like we're just working and working right now. It's mostly exciting, fun and interesting work, but sometimes it can be a little too much of a good thing, so to speak. We will sit in front of the computers a lot this weekend ... When I write this, it is 03:30 and the new post should be out in two and a half hours.

Positive news

We flagged yesterday for positive news, for our private part. We got guesses about both a new job and children on the way, but no, there will be no more children here ... What has happened, however, feels very important and fun for us!

Recording of advertising films

Ok, that's Peter in make-up and at the keyboard. Last week there was a commercial filming of a new online service, and I was there like a vegetable, well, not really but almost. It was a cloud service! What the heck is a cloud?
