El Cortejo

From the high plains and intense sunshine of western Argentina, I found a half bottle of Sauvignon Blanc with a double meaning (as in both courtship and procession), perfectly suited for Tove Folkesson’s latest book Badort. Co-written with her wife Hanna and set in late 1930s Borgholm, the book immediately caught my eye at the library yesterday, and now I cannot put it down.

Otherwise, the day began with a run up Brudarebacken together with Anna. I managed a new personal record with a grade-adjusted pace of 3:19 min/km, still a long way off the course record, but then again, that record was set by someone whose profile bio simply reads “Olympian athlete,” so maybe I should not feel too bad.
