Holy shit. The last few days have been insane. We drove 10 hours to get to Styrn in Norway. I had no idea that we could get this kind of scenery in our neighbouring country! Feels like Im in Lord of the rings, Vikings or Game of thrones or something.
I have done things these days I thought was almost impossible to do beacuse of my health anxiety. I realize how priviliged it is to worry about things like this when I have it as good as I do.
A month ago I had anxiety about traveling here (being far from a major hospital) but I did it.
I have had symptoms, but nowhere near as many as back home. I have climbed a mountain 2x times and ignored my intrusive thoughts about heart issues and having a heart attack doing it. Everything went fine, of course. I feel stronger and have so much more confidence than before. Im in a period of finding myself after 2 years of stress and pain. Finally, I feel like Im healing.
The day before yesterday we visited a glacier, packed with weird ass tourists. Kinda spoiled it for us. Some people are so moronic they think its okay to walk up to a strangers dog and start msking faces and petting it. Our puppy is only 9 months old and she has some sort of social issues (she has always been so scared of other people and dogs and are often on high alert around new people). Everything is going great when she just walks beside us and no one is interacting with her but some dumbass teenagers and kids and a retarded middle age man thought it was fun running up to here and making noises. Me and Carl Carl had to literally swat away peoples hands and Carl got into a verbal fight with a french family that was too persistent. So yeah, supercool glacier but the tourist just maked everything feel off.
Yesterday we did the big hike. 4 hours up the mountain. We went out around 12 and it was too hot to handle. The perks of being at a place where there is no one else is that you can kinda do whatever you want. Both me and Carl were more comfortable walking topless. I felt so free, like a prehistoric woman or something hahah. Felt really connected to nature and myself. When we reached a valley and sat down to take in the scenery I cried tears of joy over how beautiful it were and the otherwordly experience of not seeing another living soul for miles.
Today is a lazy day at the cabin, I did my morning pilates on the lawn, looking out over the mountain. (I have never felt so blessed) after breakfast me and Carl have been out on a walk (tried to fish in a pond but failed) and now we sit in the sun eating chips, Carl is drinking beer and Im gonna take some time for myself and write on one of my short stories.🌻
Efter alla bläckmålningar kommer här en ny akvarell. Den visade sig vara lite av en utmaning, eftersom pappret inte betedde sig som det brukar att göra. Varje penseldrag verkade bita sig fast i ytan och färgen sögs upp och torkade väldigt snabbt, vilket gjorde det svårt att blanda färger på pappret och att mjuka upp konturer. Jag vet inte vad det kan bero på.
Hursomhelst, det här är en vy över Västerdalälven, i närheten av Sälen.

Västerdalälven, watercolour, 38x28 cm
After all the ink paintings, here's a new watercolour painting. It turned out to be a bit of a challenge, because the paper didn't behave like it normally does. Every brushstroke seemed to grab on to the surface and the paint was absorbed very quickly, making it hard to blend colours on the paper or soften edges. I don't know what might be the reason.
Anyway, this is a view of the river Västerdalälven, close to Sälen in Dalarna, Sweden.
I dag är vi inbjudna till pressvisning och test av årets nyheter vid SkiStar Sälen, Lindvallen.
I år maxas utbudet med flera nyheter på Valleberget i Lindvallen där det byggs en helt ny äventyrsarena med massor av nya sommaraktiviteter: SummerSki (sommarskidåkning på konstgjort gräs av sockerrör), Mountain Coaster (spårrodel) och Mountain Tube (som en rutschkana du åker på med gummiringar).
Vi…

Min fru och jag har köpt en liten lägenhet vid en skidanläggning i de svenska fjällen. Vi vet redan hur det är på vintern och tycker om att åka skidor, men jag ser mycket fram emot att vara där mer under sommarmånaderna. Att se allting i sommargrönska och lära känna skogarna och vattnen bättre.

My wife and I have bought a small apartment at a ski resort in the swedish mountains. We already know what it's like in the winter and enjoy going skiing, but I'm really looking forward to be able to spend more time there during the summer months. To see everything in summer bloom and get to know the forests and waters better.
