The CBA/union that I is connected to entitles me to 5 weeks of vacation each year of which I am entitled to use four straight weeks
during the summer plus additional 60 stand alone hours called "arbetstidsförkortning"
which were suppose to mean that employees would work 25 Min less per day but most people save the time and use it when needed.

Some other unions/CBAs have 6 or 7 weeks of vacation but no "arbetstidsförkortning".

I haven't been around much this summer, 1 day in Stockholm and it seems also rally spectating on Saturday (probably SS19 & 22).

However I was 4,5 days in London in early may this year. A very nice city but just not quite as pretty as Stockholm. ;)

Also when the weather is like it has been the past weeks, warm and sunny, I'm not really in the mood of going anywhere coz'
when the Swedish summer shows itself from its best side its very lovely at my house.

I had a hell of a year and all I tried to do to change things failed lamentably.. Including my plan of a nice holiday, a week just for me, without thinking of work, family or so called friends. Since I was again on the verge of depression I did a crazy thing. Inspired by the song [YouTube]InwO1ObFPPE[/YouTube]
Yesterday I packed a few things (admitting you know what 'a few' mean for a woman) and took the first bus to the seaside. Now I'm in 2 mai -Vama Veche, a bohemian small vilage by the Black Sea, on the border with Bulgaria. But fatality again. On the beach I met my (so called) best friends. We're trying to live again the experiences of the old times but it's not the same.
I don't know how to post pics but it's nothing spectacular about this place. What is special is the spirit of it and that is hard to explain. It was always a place for free people (can you imagine that even the communists tolerated a mixed nudist beach?) who camp on the beach, play guitar on the sand and drink without causing trouble.

For me it's possible after 3 beers and half bottle of Lady M. :p

Love this word. Tried to pronounce it a few times and now my tongue looks like a tie

Only had a couple of weeks here http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/18/qusyrahe.jpg

In a couple weeks I'll be going to this place with my family: http://www.magavia.com/uploads/1309379094_dscn9364.jpg

I've also spent a couple weekends in my country house. The terrain there is flat so I could admire the excellent views of thr big sky with very picturesque clouds.

I had Phase 1 of my summer holiday a few weeks ago - ten days with friends on a hill farm in Southern Italy.
I've just had Phase 2, three days at Goodwood Festival of Speed.
I'm waiting for the boss to decide what Phase 3 is (I'm sure she has something in mind)

and I still have the Goodwood Revival to look forward to.

Arse? :erm:
Colossal vacation btw, 5-6 weeks :up: :eek:

Nice thread schmenke :)

Not much of a holiday here, I have lots of work to do, which is great being self-employed. I'll probably spend a few days in Barcelona in August but not more than that.
