Today we had a regular checkup to follow up on his heart insufficiency. After the ultrasound cardiography, it was concluded that he now was all well! His heart has normal capacity! Such a releif! Well, ok, his permanent “electrical” heart condition will require pacemaker all through his life, but … like … for heaven’s sake! We went out to the waiting room and cried! All these years of worry and hardship. Now we can breathe out! He will phase out some of his meds as well in the coming three weeks. Mika is so strong! But! He also complained of…

When Mika the Hero lives up to his name | #MikaTheHero #blog31
Photo by Karin / @akrogirl – from #MikaTheHero Flow. At the waiting room. Yesterday Mika fell off his chair, backwards, on the kitchen carpet. Very hurtful, but nothing seemed to be broken in his arm. After a night with pain, we made a call to the public health service at 1177, and they recommended to go to the kiddie ER at our hospital Vrinnevi here in Norrköping – better safe than sorry! Lucky he was – “only” his radius was snapped out a bit, and was easily snapped back just by the doctor’s hand. And x-ray confirmed nothing was broken,…

Karin! 41! Years! YAY! | #Karin41Years #blog31
Today, my beloved intended-partner-for-life Karin turned 41. Chill, kicking xmas out of town (as rest of Sweden) according to traditions on Tyska Torget (“banktorget”), and a High Quality take-away pizza grabbed on our way home. Karin dived into her fav food reality show/competition of Australian flare and flavour, while I took an evening run. And finalized by Iron Man re-run on the telly together. In the midst of all – Mika, lovely as Always! Who gave Karin a check on unlimited hugs as birthday present! I love you forever, Akro … Woman?? Unconditionally! Period.
Weekend Soundtrack? | #music #blog31
So. Week two passing of Groovy 2019! Week soundtracked by Swedish Hiphop. Some pulsating beats. And the soundtrack from Mika’s current favourite animated show. On autorepeat. Yup! Now. Good Night!

First book reading of the year | #PhotoStory #blog31
In this corner I have started reading this year’s first book – one I got from the Freecycle book-shelf in the basement outside the laundry room. It’s about mindfulness.
First Mika pic of the year | #MikaTheHero #blog31
Yesterday Mika and I were up early, playing in his room. Here is the first picture of him I took 2019! I think my blogging will be a mix of the personal and the professional, with family and friends, music, writings, ideas and reflections, projects and events. Let’s see what unfolds!
I graded tonight! I have now 2 kyu! | #aikido
After many years, I have now graded to 2 kyu in Aikido (Takemusu Aiki, Iwama Ryu). Last time I graded was in May 2010, so it was about time! So many other things has happened in my life, coming in between me and my aikido development. But, tonighg was the night! “You can be happy and proud!”, the grading committée chairman Leif Kinnersjö, chief instructor emeritus, 6 dan, said. And so I am! Behind me in the photo, I feel Morihei Ueshiba, a k a O’Sensei and Aikido founder, smiling. Thank you for giving me this way of life and…
9. I as in Inspiration! | #Wishlist2017
The immaterial wishes continues to dominate my wishlist for 2017, a wishlist exercise which I aim to establish as a tradition, beyond my birthday. An exercise done during vacation and holiday times! What I felt during some time, is a bit of lack of inspiration, especially when it comes to create texts or music. My blogging has went down in speed and frequency beyond the #blog365 challenge 2016, and writing more extended essays or texts haven’t been taking place since ending up writing the first full draft of my book that never went into full publishing all the way, or…
