Reminded about Oxford yesterday evening whilst watching "Lewis" we had two vey good days in Oxford in August, here are a selection of our photographs
............................
Its been a sports day in front of the TV
As I am up in Umeå and have the day off I have to find something to pass my time (can't be at the gym all day) so I have been watching sports all day.
Started with cross country skiing 10 km Women World cup Charlotte Kalla Sweden came 2nd this morning, then Biathlon world cup womens relay , then a Championship football match, then Biathlon world cup mens relay Sweden came 2nd , and now another Championship football match, plus two more matches this evening.
Admit you know it.
New York
As Alexanders girlfriend is in New York thought I would share some of our photo's of our visit two years ago.
What am I doing this weekend?

No tricks in our house.
Yesterday and today
I hadn´t thought about it for a long long time but I suddenly realised that the 5th of December (yesterday) had some significance and then remembered what it was.
Yesterday was my Great Grandad's birthday and today the 6th December my Nan died aged only 57!
road trip 2
August 2013 , Devon, Dorset and Hampshire.
Two day road trip with an old step ladder on the roof! I wonder what ever happened to that step ladder?
Someone must be?
On the way to work ......
................ on Monday I met three different herds of reindeers on the road !!.
My journey is 380 kms takes around 4 hours + during the winter so see plenty of wildlife.
Elks are probably what I see most often and they are very very big and dangerous, they cause the most accidents and fatalitys, not what I want to meet in the middle ot the road on a dark night!
other interesting animals I have met on the road are ....
Lynx.
King Eagle, nearly as big as the reindeer (road kill) it was getting tucked into!
Beaver, the car in front of me couldn't avoid it!
I was with Ebba & Alexander when we saw a brown bear with two cubs about 50/60 meters from the road in the forest, these you don't want to meet face to face! With the last census Sweden had about 2,500 brown bears, with 1,000 living in our county, the forest that I drive through Strömsund has more brown bears per km than anywhere in the world!

| Extreme Winds |
| The women's 10K pursuit was stopped this morning in Östersund, due to unfair conditions from tornado-like winds. The competition jury met shortly after it was stopped and decided to cancel the competition. It will not be rescheduled or rerun at any time. |
This was one of the worst days ever for a pursuit competition, with winds from the right and back of the shooting range blasting the athletes with mini tornadoes of snow from the start. After battling the conditions, for two prone stages and part of the first standing, the competition was stopped and shortly thereafter cancelled.
