This morning the weather was a little bit cool. It has been quite lovely spring weather so far, and really the morning was just fine, only a little cool. I chose to take the optimist view, it may have been -1, but the real feel was 1 degree in the positive. So it was a positive start to the day.
Given my positivity, there was a definite need for coffee, and something chocolate. It is the first chocolate option I have taken up for breakfast. Promise!
After being caffeinated it was time to head off to the conference. How do you do a conference in Sweden? With a Jazz band thank you very much. Stay classy Sweden!
There was a great keynote talk from one of the really nice researchers into what they call "caring science." It is a good combination of words I think. We can be so tempted not to care in a our scientific discovery, but putting them together ensures we really have to think about the what, why, where and when of caring. Thanks Mats!
After a big few sessions, it was back home, past a really cool Volvo (well... Polestar) electric vehicle. There are so many Volvos!
In the evening was the conference evening function. It was held in a museum that used to be a tractor factory. It had some great old pieces of machinery and a was also a bit of a shrine to Volvo farm equipment.
And then again the band was back. This time with the band leader's daughters as the singers. I have a great video of them singing "Fernando" by Abba. Classic Stuff!
Finally I wandered home, grabbed an ice-cream to catch some sleep before a 6:30am video meeting. Yay! See you all tomorrow.
