Coming Back…

Coming back to the Northern Hemisphere after living somewhere more human friendly is always interesting ;)

First I had to face the Climate and completely ignore everyone’s cheerful: “But it’s only blablabla not very cold as it was blablabla…” Try telling my poor body that! The first three days I didn’t even tried going outside and was very thankful for a well filled fridge and freezer. Someone nicely said: “But come on, it’s at least +20 degrees indoor, you cannot be serious in all those clothes” Well yes I most certainly was. Nothing wrong with wearing double trousers, triple fleece and woollen socks, nothing wrong at all. And of course with my double duvets :D Maybe it would have been easier and not horribly cold if I gained those 20 kilos and had a nice thick layer of fat keeping me somewhat warm 8)

After two days I decided I needed a shower and happily entered my bathroom. I just completely forgot that there is something called running water, water pressure and hot water. I jerked and got scared when opening the tap and gosh, not only was there water, it became hot and were running massively! Laughing at myself I sat down on the floor and turned down the pressure as much as possible and felt safe. Seriously it only took a few minutes to get completely clean, amazing!

And still when I hear something rattle and rummage near my bed I just call out loud: “Ok Arnold, I don’t care anymore, but please leave my soap alone”… and when this animal suddenly were up in my face I freaked and yelled: “Grow up Arnold and leave me alone!” Only to face a very annoyed fluffy cat coming for a cuddle feeling most unappreciated and insulted by being called rat. Oh, that’s right there are no rats because I have cats… Oh, right, I’m in the isolated houses of Sweden in a modern over civilized society, we don’t have rats in the towns :P

When I at last gained courage enough to go outside I was almost run over by three cars in less than half an hour. Where do all cars come from? I stared at the traffic and people stared at me probably thinking I was an alien. I feel like one… Only recognisable thing is the slippery ice only difference it is ice and not mud from days and days of rain :D

I can’t believe I actually miss Arnold, but please don’t tell him, he will just get stroppy and tell all his friends ;)
