Welcome to the weekend coffee share! Can I get you a coffee? Or tea? Life is busy at the moment and some of you have reached out to ask if everything is ok, thank you for doing that! Everything is good, just busy.

School is busy, work is busy, and I try to balance it out during my free time. As usual I spend a lot of time with my youngest child, I go for nature walks and bike rides, and read a lot.

This week I spent a couple days in Stockholm. I travelled by train (as usual). The trip was great and intense. I attended several interesting lectures and work shops, in special needs education (Thursday and Friday). I was fun spending time with other teachers, the conversations gave me many things to reflect upon.

While in Stockholm I took several walks in some of the beautiful nature areas. Stockholm is a very green city. I go to Stockholm on a regular basis for school and I usually spend one night there, to be able to attend two school days. I try to stay in different parts of the city, to see more. This time I stayed in Södermalm. I’ve been to Stockholm more times than I can count, but I still discover new places. I guess it is like that with any big city. I especially enjoy walking in parks, and finding beautiful views of the city. I also enjoy looking at architecture. In a way I would have liked one more day to enjoy the city just for fun, but on the other hand these two days felt like more than enough! All in all, it was a good trip, and a good week. I am planning on having a relaxing weekend, catching up at home, and going for some bike rides. The days are still warm, but fall is definitely here.

I hope your week is great! I am looking forward to catching with all the interesting blogs I’ve missed this past week. Thank you Natalie for hosting the weekend coffee share!
