The world made local

Waking up at 5 a.m., I briefly considered going for some cross-country skiing around the lake, Shackleton-style, but with the temperature close to −20 degrees, I decided instead to prioritize my swimming. After a morning excursion to Navet, I now only have 2,843 metres left to go this year.

Having compiled this year’s Gold List, I then picked up the latest Condé Nast Traveller at Pressbyrån to get some inspiration for the year ahead. While much remains uncertain with regard to travel in general, I am tempted to make one more attempt at running the Cyprus Marathon in March. I am also already registered for Chiltern Wonderland in September, even if Elin’s participation remains uncertain.

For dinner, I made a creamy soup with chanterelle, parsnip, celery, and “Inocente” sherry from Jerez de la Frontera, perfect on a winter day like this.
