New fishing season behind the corner

The last few weeks I’ve been feeling quite uncomfortable in my own body. It’s like there’s something crawling inside that keeps me somewhat nervous all the time.

Gothenburg here we come!

It’s 10.30 PM in the evening. I talked to Håvard a moment ago, he just arrived at the Central Station in Gothenburg, trying to get in touch with Fredrik. Then Fredrik called me, trying to get in touch with Håvard. Then I got a message from Håvard that he was hanging out with some nice… Read more »
