..all the best...

..and it was!
Finally the destination of half a journey that started in january was finally reached at the weekend.
The trips to Stockholm, London, Switzerland, Serbia finally ended up in an epic in , of all places, Eskilstuna.
Seems to be the classic case of when you know your finally reaching your destination the body relaxes and gives you back the time you asked for by making you sick.And thats exactly what happened on the friday morning.
Having arrived on thursday evening and meeting good friends I was told by them how good it was that I was in such high spirits once again. This seems to have been the case for the past months.
So it was to my annoyance that friday morning, around 0500 I awoke sweating bullets thru a bible and with a throat that felt like it still had a pineapple trapped in it. This was not gonna be an easy weekend as I was gonna have to be sharp and on the job. Having chatted to the paramedic in the team I was given around 1500mg of parasomething to take every four hours and told to lay off the coffee..err..yeah right.Another cup please..As the Capt.Seb asked, "you don't ever sleep during these weekends do you...."
At the same time all this misery and business was going down I was also noticing a pair of nudie jeans serving the coffee..something there. More coffee please..
So friday was as usual a script of planned schedules , strict time keeping and thinking cap on.
Team was as usual the very best of company and I will miss them when they're not there.Respect is given at every quarter and it is something you have to experience at first hand to understand just what kind of team family and atmosphere we have managed to put together.
The saturday would be the battle, and the battle was won. With a new record of straight wins and undefeated for 7 tests the spirits should have been higher but the causality list was high.
More Coffee please...Miss..??
Due to the virus (again) and the 8000 mg of parasomething I lasted to 23.50 and came back to crash. Apparently the circus came back at 0300 in the morning and enjoyed a game of empty the fire extinguisher..Nuff said, I heard nothing.However, it would give me an opp to get a better insight of Missy Calvin Kleins..
Sunday and we all said our farewells.The stories from the night before came in thick and thin and what happens on tour stays on tour. A humbled coach watches as once again the past, including its memories, is replaced by the present and it's realities.Life for sure doesn't get better when every line sometimes has a micro story of no importance but sheds tears around the group of players who are in turn ready to share an experience.
Single Sunday again then.
I was to be alone.Train left at 18.00 and the meetings cancelled which had me hanging around.
The weather was awesome so best to just rest up and try and put life into perspective.So many ups and downs from the weekend. Late but ever so important confessions from friday to negative reactions to a positive on saturday and now, alone again on single sunday with a virus, a box of paraS and an interest to follow up.
And the interest did turn up. A chat in the sun full of integrity and honesty, and a follow up late lunch ended the weekend on a high.A card, a train trip and back home to the empty void that unlike a black hole does require work and we'll see what happens.
Living in the present is the way to go just now.
