Spa visit

At work there have been lots of meetings. All of them online. I get a lot of desk duty also. This is because two of my colleagues are working from home. One other has also been sick. I find myself covering for all of them. I haven't done much of my ordinary work lately so the piles on my desk are high. This Monday the library building opened up a little more so the patrons can access the reference collection and sit here and study. This time of year we get enormous amounts of returns. Normally I sort one or two carts a day, but now it's three or four. The book drop box is overflowing every morning.

This Monday the Economics library moved 72 meters of journals to our storage. They chose to hire a moving company to do the work. It turned out very well, they placed the journals on the shelves with great care.

I spent the Whitsun weekend at the summerhouse all alone. On that Saturday I hosted a tour of the Norra Strö cemetery. It was one of very few activities the historical society could arrange, since it was outdoors. Only a few people showed up but we had a good time. The visit to the summerhouse was relaxing, apart from the plant watering and lawn mowing.

This past Saturday I drove to the middle of Skåne. I picked my mother up at the train station and we went to a spa. It was very nice to soak in the hot pools (one indoor and one outdoor). There were foot baths, comfortable chairs, two saunas and rain showers. We had been given this for our birthdays (my mother turns 70 later). Dinner was really fancy; three course meal. Main dish was fish, dessert elderflower mousse. Not bad at all. We stayed overnight and the breakfast buffet was extensive. After a short walk in the neigborhood (we visited the middle point of Skåne, a metal monument at a creek) I drove my mother back to the summerhouse. I spent the afternoon there and got both lunch and dinner. Then drove home again in the evening.
