I don´t do mornings very well…if I´m getting up early it´s a cup of black tea with lots of milk and honey that can perk me up for the day! When I work in the city I use the tube and buses (excellent in Stockholm) and enjoy reading on my ipad – at the moment I´m into Shirley Maclaine´s “I´m over all that”! If I´m working outside the city it´s the car and “Talk-radio” P1 mostly… It´s a benefit being out working on different conference centers, that means wholesome and healthy (mostly) food for lunch! In the office I tend to forget to eat which means that I´m practically starved by 3 pm and raid the kitchen for whatever is left there… I can really get involved with developing a new course programme or in writing an important paragraph in the new book, hence food is low priority right then. If my husband, the Farmer, is around we will usually go to Troxhammar Golfclub nearby and enjoy the excellent cooking of Claes and Pär who´s is running the place. Preferably a nice fish! I love my work and find it extremely rewarding working with people in processes. It is loads of energy floating around a subject and grabbing hold of that and directing it towards juicy goals is an unsurpassable experience. All that excitement and tension-regulation means that getting home and cooking dinner can be total relaxation. Weeks when we are “child-free” we may end up having quite a few Thai takeaways with the Belgian, spiced beer “Leffe”. Reading mails and preparations for the next day before possibly watching the news or a late-night show on TV is next on the agenda. Read in bed: Modern Psychology, House & Garden and Jennifer Egans “A visit from the goon squad” (right now). Falls asleep midnight, at least an hour later than The Farmer who is an early bird and brings me a cup of tea in bed…☺
