Plans of today

Salty roads

This is what a road in the winter should look like! I really hate the salt they’re spreading out on the roads as soon as they can. One of the really good things with the cold weather (below -6 C) is that the salt is useless, and we get this nice winter roads instead of the wet, ugly, salty ones.

A day off

Today it’s a bit warmer, around -8 C, so maybe it’s a good day for a trip somewhere? As this day is a holiday (January 6th, Epiphany), at least here in Sweden, I’m not at work today.

Work

Hmm… did I mention that I’m back at the brewery? Due to the recession I lost my job as a Diamond Core Driller (they’ve dismissed 49 out of 85 men), but luckily I could begin at the brewery (Kopparbergs Brewery) again, just two weeks later. I’ve been working as a supervisor at the filling lines at the brewery for six years before I started as a Core Driller.

Five weeks of education in Denmark

On Saturday I’m going to a five weeks education at Scandinavian School of Brewing (Bryggerhøjskolen) in Copenhagen, Denmark. It will be a tough challenge, but also a lot of fun. I’m going to live in Svedala, Skåne and take the train over the Öresund Bridge, every day. I hope there will be time for some photographing during the five weeks stay there!

Freeze!

January 4th, 2009 Peter Korkala

This morning the thermometer showed -21C… It’s getting colder and colder.

I’m very jealous of Ivar, I want 50 cm of snow too!
