Full sea

There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat.
And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

At long last, I am happy to inform you that I will start a new permanent position as Associate Professor at Halmstad University College in the autumn. With Anna already having secured a job at nearby Gothenburg University, we have decided to move to Gothenburg, more specifically to an apartment in Örgryte (which means that I will be spending a fair amount of time every day on Øresund-trains).

After trying to move south for the better half of the last decade, it feels so good that everything is finally in place. To celebrate, I am making Virgin Atlantic’s signature “Ruby Sipper” cocktail (made with champagne and raspberry rhubarb tonic) as I look forward to many great adventures along the shores of the Western Sea.
