Concert in Stockholm

Almost two weeks ago I went to Stockholm with my husband to see Midland's concert. We had bought tickets in 2020 and their tour had been rescheduled three times.

Amazingly we were in Stockholm, Nalen to watch a great show on a Sunday evening. And the next day we took a walk in Stockholm before heading to the airport.

Good times!

Running after a long break

For some reason I haven't been running for a few years. Now I went for a run yesterday and I'm very happy about that! 

Running has many benefits, just to mention a few:

  • It strengthens muscle and lungs
  • Helps with weight control
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Reduces risk of heart disease
  • Improves blood pressure
  • Improves brain function
And the good thing is, you can continue it after a break.
Now the evenings are light, and it's Spring. 
And I'm only competing with myself.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Bletchley Park

We usually visit at least one museum while traveling with kids. In March we found this interesting place in Buckinghamshire, England.

Bletchley Park witnessed the employment of the world's first large-scale electronic digital computer. And grew into a major provider of intelligence which contributed significantly to Allied successes.

Over nine thousand people worked at Bletchley Park and it's associated outstations. It was a place that have helped shape the world we live in today, and the epicentre of World War Two codebreaking.

The reason that Bletchley Park surroundings looked very familiar to me is the film Enigma. Visiting Bletchley Park felt like travelling back in time and imagining the codebreakers sitting in the park having a break from their work.

The kids liked the place too, there were many places to explore.
