Watching the view. This might be among the top 5 most stressful things I’ve done this year. After 1 night here I started to pack my things to leave. I have now been here 3 nights and am climbing the walls. Too restless to work and nowhere to go (the island takes 10 min to cross by foot). I’m now turning to social media. Is there any addictive virtual game or something you want to recommend?

I can suggest you some long and entertaining novels:

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

The Neuromancer (trilogy) by William Gibson

The Count of Montecristo by Alexandre Dumas

To be read in between swims in cold water and long naps. Or some nice documetaries:

Hah thanks for this! 😄I usually only read books while walking (not patient enough to be still for long 😃 ), but will definitely look into the documentaries! Will start with the Swedish one. 😁
