Winter's here, suddenly

The overall weather here in Gothenburg can change in a matter of days. Last Thursday I was wearing my denim Spring/Autumn jacket. However, the following Monday - the space of just over three days - I had to start wearing my winter coat. It's definitely winter here now in Gothenburg.

Since Monday it has been beautiful weather actually, if you can stand the cold. The sun has been out and there's that crisp air that freshens everything up. Unfortunately, today has messed everything back up - we're back to dull and wet - Gothenburg's default weather.  Actually, Gothenburg's default weather is horizontal rain with plenty of wind, so it's not that bad yet (the rain is actually falling vertically right now).

We've recently moved around in the office and now I have a view out to the track leading up to the train station, 200 meters up the road. It can be quite busy with 32 trains coming and going per hour. Thankfully the double glazing - and the fact that the trains are electric - means that we don't get too much noise; just the low rumble of wheel-on-steel.

We also now have Fredags Frukost (Friday Breakfast) at work, instead of the old Fika on Friday afternoons. Much better! Makkor (sandwiches), yoghurt, cereal, eggs and juice for the taking, and a chance to meet up with the other colleagues. Speaking of which, it's almost time. I'll sign off now in the hope that this random blog entry will stop me from forgetting to visit every now and then!

My new workplace

We just moved around a bit, to accomodate the new employees, so this is where I sit now. It's also the cleanest it's been for a long time!
