Teambuilding at work, with boule (petanque) at Boulebar Liljeholmen. Somehow my two-person team won – mostly due to luck rather than skill.

The game was accompanied by dinner, of course. Afterwards I was so full that instead of going straight to the nearest tube station, I walked to Årstaberg station along the waterfront. It was a lovely night, warm even though it’s only mid-April.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to that part of Stockholm before. It felt nothing like the city with its hundred-year-old terracotta-coloured buildings, and nothing like suburbian Spånga of course, and nothing like the cookie-cutter modern apartment blocks of Vällingby or Tensta. Especially at night, it felt more akin to the waterfronts of London: glass facades, and lights gleaming in the dark.
