Since 2008, I have visited Sweden (in particular, Stockholm) on several occasions. By my reckoning, I’ve “lived there” for almost six months.

Early Riser
Even though I have been told on a few occasions, I should keep the blind closed at night, due to the early morning sunrise, I have not bothered much with … Read the rest “Early Riser”
Not sure if you've read this yet: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n17/paul-laity/after-martha but thought I might mention it. Seems to be paywall free for…

Sounds quite strenous to me. You packed in a lot.
