I spent most of my last day in Sweden in Uppsala rather than Stockholm, as I have a friend there who works at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics. They met me at the train station and we went for a stroll followed by lunch. Uppsala is beautiful and very Oxbridge-y, which makes sense given that the university there prides itself on being the oldest in Sweden (founded in 1477).

We were very lucky with the weather, as up until about 12 hours before my journey north, the forecast had been predicting it would rain all of Sunday. Instead, I got to see the town in bright autumnal sunshine.

1) Very happy John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme (series 7) is on Radio 4. I'm pretty sure you can listen from anywhere from BBC radio iPlayer.

2) Excited about watching Fighting for Air on BBC Two. Bloke is on towards the end talking particulate results.

3) I'm drinking raspberry beer.
