“Every year we go away for a weekend and shop some Christmas presents, eat good food and enjoy the life without children. A little bit of newly in love kind of thing… In mid-November it was time to check the calendar on our iPhones and find a weekend before Christmas.

“Kerstin: The 19th, can you?

I: Well, go out with my colleagues, but on the 26th we can go!

Kerstin: Sorry, working, but 3rd goes well!

I: Fun, Norr Cup in Borlänge that weekend …

Kerstin: 10th then?

I: Naaaah, Veteran champoinships in Stockholm, did you know?

Kerstin: Sigh… 17th then?

I: Hardly that weekend, Rollatorfighten in Gustafs, you know, with the following Christmas table with the lads. But the weekend after it would work! No judo that weekend!

Kerstin: Best for you!

I: What?
