Winter Wednesday

Waking up to two decimetres of fresh snow and an orange weather warning from SMHI, I had no choice but to skip my planned Skatås run. With trams cancelled and sidewalks buried, just getting to Nordic Wellness felt more akin to Höga Kusten Winter Trail than a city walk. I ended up doing some weight training and another 10k on the treadmill, and was happily surprised to find Lilla Sur still open – one of their cinnamon buns certainly made the trek worthwhile.

In the real world, Trump has been busy undermining international norms by abducting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and by doubling down on the claim that a military takeover of Greenland is “always an option”. As with Putin in Ukraine, it takes a very different outlook on the world to understand the logic behind this kind of self-harm.
