I was invited to spend a month in Sweden.

I had been under pressure from one of my bosses to enhance my "esteem factors", and wangling an invitation like that was the sort of thing he wanted to see. Well, the month starts this Sunday. From being something far, far in the future, it's now something that I've frantically got to be ready for and, to put it bluntly, I'm not. It's cold here now but it's going to be very cold there. I would say "freezing" but that doesn't do it justice. Apparently it's -4 in the day and "at night it gets cold"! So what do I wear, what do I pack? And what needs to get done before I go... a month is a long time if I forget to do something and it has to wait until I get back. Argh.
