What about the smoothies? You seem to have one or two from your blender every day.
Oh yeah, it’s been a while now actually. When I bought that blender I had one every day for I don’t know how long. A long time! Oh yeah, I was thinking about how you mentioned me being healthy and stuff, and another thing besides the smoothies maybe is the bread that I eat. I don’t really eat white bread like baguettes and stuff very often. I mean I do if I’m in Spain for example because that’s all you can find there, but at home I eat this dark, German looking bread. (haha) It has nothing to do really with me trying to be healthy, it’s more just what I like. I’ve had people say that to me, like Oh, you’re so healthy eating that bread, but that’s probably just because they don’t like that sort of bread and to them it’s like How can you eat that, you’re just trying to be healthy! But I really like it. Same with the smoothies and all that, I just like it, they taste good.
Yeah, I suppose that’s where my impression comes from as well, when I’m staying at yours and you start your day with a smoothie, dark bread and exercise. And then when you came and staid at mine, you guys cooked every evening, like good, proper food.
Yeah true. But that was probably more due to economic reasons than any health thing. I can see where you could get that idea about me, though, but I just like it better.
Do you miss Spain at all?
Yeah I do actually. I don’t know if I’d move back there to live, but I miss being there and I like going there. I went in December and that was really cool. It was only for 10 days, but that felt good. And I went to Mallorca the other week as well. Mallorca’s funny, it’s like it’s stuck in the 80’s and this time of year it’s a complete ghost town.
First time in Mallorca?
Yeah, for skating.
How long were you away from Sweden?
Almost five years. Not five years that I didn’t set foot here, I came back for the summer when it was too hot in Spain. Like in the middle of July you can’t do anything there. I spent one whole summer in Lyon and that was horrible. You couldn’t skate, you couldn’t swim, you’d have to drive like two hours to go to a lake. You couldn’t really do anything until like seven o’clock at night, cause it’s just too hot. It’s pretty funny actually, cause when I used to live here and people would come over and say oh, Swedish summer is the best, and I’d be like what’s so good about it, it’s not even that warm, it rains a lot. But then I realized that it’s so great exactly because it doesn’t get that warm.
What about the winters, have you gotten used to those yet?
Yeah it was pretty hard the first year, but now this winter for example has been perfect, cause I’ve been on some short trips and stuff. Plus we do little filming projects for the Bellows website, the Freeze Tried clips, so it’s like a fun little thing to work on. We go to the skate park before it opens, we get to borrow it between 12 and 2pm. That makes the winter go faster!
How’s the weather there right now?
It’s snowing right now! (haha) But it’s good, I like it.
