I can see that time just flies. When you are doing something and you love and like it, then time just goes faster and faster even thought that it still goes on same tact as usually.
It has been time with Lions meetings, I have have traveled in Gotland, met my friends and studied as well.
In Lions I have had our board meeting. Day after we had regional meeting and latest in the weekend I spent a day with partners in Lions while their husbands was on meeting in Jönköping. It has been good hours I have had possible to spend and most of all, that has been giving me a lot. It is always good to meet a persons I do not know, but also people I know already. I love to be a part of Lions, since it is very giving and in the same time I can be part to help others. It also has helped me with my integration here in Sweden.
I also followed with my husband to Gotland when he had is business trip to there. For me it was first time to visit Gotland. When we was on our honeymoon in Öland and visited castle in Borgholm, then person who worked there told me that nature in Öland and Gotland is same as it is in islands in Estonia. I can say that it was almost same. At least enough that my homesickness got a bit relieved. Difference was all those stones, what was in Gotland. Those kind of stones we don't have in Estonia but it is bit sad, since those was magnificent. I saw so many wonderful places, spent a lots of hours out in nature, climbed and took a long walks. My pour dog was so tired in every evening while we was there. On Wednesday after I had checked out from hotel, I spent several hours to look around in Visby. It is the only Hansa city in Sweden and that is bit surprising since Sweden is old country and has history way long back, plus Sweden is much bigger country when Estonia is. Estonia in the same time has 3 Hansa cities. Overall. I loved to be in Visby. If to visit places outside Visby killed my homesickness in one way and to visit Visby it self killed homesickness on the other way. I felt like Visby was Tallinn, just much more pressured together.
I had opportunity to visit a good tea and coffee shop. I have got tea from there before from my husband, so now when I had a possibility by my self to visit that heaven and heaven it is. All what you need for a coffee break, you get from there - tea, coffee, cups, treats, marmalade and so much more. Heavens name is Kränku. If you want to get part of good tea and coffee, when just visit their homepage.
The other thing I tried while I was there was a saffron-pancake. I got to know that it was typical for that region and something that everyone should try. It is traditionally served with whipped cream and blackberry marmalade. Last one is also very traditional for Gotland since it seems that only Gotland has those berries. All in all I liked it and with tea from Kränku, my coffee-break was perfect. Just what I needed before our trip back towards our home in Norrahammar. I must say, me and saffron, I just love it :) So that saffron-pancake was really something I loved it and I got even recipe back to home, so I will try to make it home as well. Just love it.
I also have had quite busy time in school during those weeks, I have been not wrote into my blog. Had oral examination in Business Economy - Specialization. I am very satisfied with my grade. Got the next best grade, only small disappointment was that if I think of word specialization, I think that we get deeper knowledge of the subject, but it was just 2 subjects put together and still in the shallow touching of the subject. Well now that subject is over and law has been started. First test and assignment have been handed in. Test went quite well. Result fro the assignment has not graded yet. Hopefully soon I will that grade as well.
The best call came still yesterday. For a while ago I wrote that I was on trying pass for crossfit training. Yesterday I got a phone call from one of the boys who is owner of the place. They were interested to know that I have decided after the last time I visited them. I told that I want to join with them. Usually they have a course on-tramp to all new beginners. The new group started on Saturday but when I could not start with them, since I had Lions errand to do. We discussed also bit about it and we came to the conclusion that if I am interested to join them, when they will sit down and talk bit with each other about to make a special program for me. I got very happy. That does not happen very often that gym takes consideration the persons condition. They do and that made me feel very sure that I have chose right. I will get to learn bit different program instead what is suitable with my shoulder. That felt actually most positive that they took my damaged shoulder to the consideration and still I am welcome in their locals. That made me feel warm in heart. Just liked the feeling. So, now I have mailed some dates and times for us to meet and I can start to train again. It will be perfect since first run is already on 2 months. Perfect for little me.
Now it is time for lunch and after that preparations for Lions members meeting in the evening. It has been a wonderful other half of February and hopefully my march will be perfect as well. I plan to have it at least as good as possible.
Have a lovely day!
Love,
Ingrit
