June
June 4 we attended the start of a new exhibition at the Naval Museum in Karlskrona, Ytspänning. The culture minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth held the opening speech.
Then we spent a weekend in Ödängla. This is the most beautiful time of year in Sweden!
This is the small village next to Ödängla, Björnö:
Later on in the month Gunilla and I went to Poland for our holiday – the old city of Krakow, it was spared during WWII and a true gem in central Europe. We had a lovely time there listening to music (Chopin, Kletzmer music, opera) all in mini concerts less than an hour long, perfect! We also took a ride with an old horse carriage – and saw a lot of young people at the international skateboard day the 21st of June!
We came home just in time for the big market in Karlskrona (Lövmarknaden) – of course I filmed the preparations and the actual market.
Then there were Midsummer celebrations in the Vämö park in Karlskrona.
The 27th Gunilla bought a new bicycle – she needed it!

2010 in retrospective pt 3
March
Winter was very long, we thought it would never end! My old friends from the School for Journalists in Stockholm (1978-80) started a group on Facebook in order to have a reunion 30 years after graduation. We almost made it – instead of May we met in October.
April
Spring came at last.
May
May 1st there is an old annual tradition in Karlskrona that The Royal Swedish Navy Band marches through the city. I am an early bird, so I did some filming there. To this date, more than 450 people have watched the video on Youtube!
This was the first of a great number of videos on Youtube this year. I covered the annual meetings for the Martinson Society and the Salje Society (two famous Swedish authors).

February
I was able to go back to work after four weeks, and felt much better. I did make some short videos – the old journalist in me compelled me to go out when an entire block close to our home burned down.
I also filmed through the window, looking at birds in the garden and a very beautiful sunrise.
The snow kept on falling, and in both February and March a lot of roof fell in all around Sweden. As the institution with overall responsibility for building regulations, The national board of housing building and planning (where I work) had a lot to do with the press. In March the minister Andreas Carlgren gave us a task: to investigate why so many roof fell down. We will give the full report in May this year.

January
In the middle of the month I had to go home on sick leave. I was tremendously tired and at first my doctor could not find out what was wrong. After the second round of tests it was determined I had (a fairly mild form of) Lymes disease. I was cured by a three week long treatment with strong antibiotics. The year had started with a lot of snow and so as a good house owner, I should make use of the shovel. All kinds of physical activity, even short walks, made it necessary for me to go to bed for a while.

Spännande inledning på radioprogram
När min sambo Gunilla Lindgren producerade radioprogram för UR kunde det bli riktigt spännande! Ett kort klipp från ett program:

Krakow 15 juni 2010
Det är lätt att ta sig till den gamla polska huvudstaden Krakow. Från Karlskrona kan man antingen ta färjan till Gdynia och sedan tåg genom Polen eller ta tåget till Kastrup och flyg därifrån (i skrivande stund flyger Norwegian ungefär varannan dag). Så vi steg upp tidigt den 15 juni och var inne i Krakow på eftermiddagen.
Våra omgivningar
Hotellet heter Kolumbus, bokat på nätet förstås och alldeles utmärkt. Dess läge, i skarven mellan den centrala staden och de gamla judiska kvarteren i Kazimierz är perfekt för den intresserade Krakow-turisten, eftersom det är en lagom promenad in till det stora torget som är stadens naturliga centrum, men samtidigt inte så långt till andra sevärdheter som de nämnda kvarteren och det stora slottet, eller om man vill ge sig ut på en flodtur.
