So much water has passed under the bridge since the last post… The week after making that last photo shoot, I went for a two week long stay at the hospital. The upside was that I had much time for devouring huge amounts of books and producing sketches.

I don’t know what to call these combatants in the depths – coats or borskar?

I was hospitalised during my internship at the Eye Clinic, so this was my way of excusing myself for not showing up.

I was well enough for taking strolls outside. I felt like a madman on the run, in the hospital clothing and carrying my little lifesavig machine around.

I lost count on the number of rooms I slept in. In Linköping I had my bed beside a window, where I enjoyed the view over a rowan tree, with a pair of busy geat tits.

There was much time for contemplating over how the world is developing – the horrid war in Gaza and Ukraine (for example), the crazy politics that speeds our exploitation of the resources, resulting in climate change with drouts, floodings and other catastrophes.

This was my little thank-you-card, to all the fantastic staff that I met at Västerviks skukhus and Linköpings universitetssjukhus.

During my convalescence, I finally finished a watercolour picture, designed for the operation theatre (more of a tiny room though 😅) of Vimmerby Health Central, to give scared children something else to look at while the surgical equipment is being prepared and used.

One month later, I was well enough to sing again. I sang a few songs at a concert together with Lars-Erik Olofsgård and Lina Hultgren.
After that we have all passed our different colds and gastroenteritis between each other in the family. I managed to sew a new shirt for my son in time for Christmas. Made from an old curtain and recycled buttons. He chose the embroidery.

There were some very slippery winter days, inspiring this ink sketch.

My son has asked for an analogue clock. I found this at Erikshjälpen and used the pretty Sissi-handkerchiefs.

I have also made a camera bag for my niece.
