Lat 42

At last, it is Friday night, and I have taught my last class of statistics for the autumn semester. Pouring up a glass of Lat 42 Reserva from Rioja Alta, a wine that repeatedly has received top marks, I was immediately transported to the other end of the European continent, and I can only agree with the positive reviews, this is one of the best wines in its price range that I have ever tasted (it is currently retailing for 129 SEK at Systembolaget).

Yesterday at the gym, I made it to 300 kilometres of indoor rowing this year with a whole month to spare (a clear indication that I need to raise my goal for 2025), and then topped up with a massive climbing session on the treadmill for a total of 1,000 meters of vertical gain in just one day. As such, I feel that I have done this week's homework for the Bandolerita, and that I can now drink a glass of wine in good conscience and roast some polka beats.

Next week, I will be alone with the kids for three days before taking the train to Kalmar on Friday morning to see my parents. Though the plans remain to be finalized, I hope to take part in the Växjö Parkrun on Saturday morning and also swing by Malmö on the return for some tapas with Sofi.
