looking back
I was reading some old blog entries and realized I used to blog a lot more often. I knew that already, though. What I discovered now was that I used to write shorter, less ambitious entries, making it possible to keep up. I think I'll try to do that more now. So check back more often for less.

a close shave
Marta has gone off to sunny Poland for a last visit to her parents before the baby comes and hence I am left all by myself in our apartment for the first time. This means I have to struture my existance by myself, which is not a big deal, but still harder than I remember. Yesterday, for example, I woke up early (seven something) and decided to have breakfast and then go back to sleep. I also managed to book a hair appointment for one o'clock that afternoon. Then I went back to bed with my Stephen King. Eventually I drifted off.
At 9.45 I woke up again. this time it was because of the rather annoying sound of my telephone. It was my brother-in-law wondering whether or not I was coming to Friskis to work out. I have never once given anyone reason to think I would want to go to Friskis. In fact, I remember saying time and time again that I will never go. Yet, he called. Oh, well. I didn't want to seem lazy, so I told him I was planning to go running.
So I had to go running. And I did. Then I got home and forgot to stretch. Then I hopped into the shower.
If you are anything like me, you'll have forgotten all about that hair appointment by now. If you're not like me, you'll be wondering what time it was when I got into the shower. I'll tell you. It was ten to one...
To make a long story a bit shorter, I hurried a bit, and even though I had to wait 5 minutes for the t-bana (during which time I called and told them I'd be late, I was at the hairdresser's at ten past.
This is how it turned out:

beachy getaway
Marta and I recently spent a week in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. A typical day meant hotel breakfast, reading on the beach, me playing in the waves, changing clothes, going into town, having lunch, going back, relaxing, going for a walk, having dinner, going back to the room and finally sleeping. Any time spent in the room also meant spending time watching CNN, as it usually does when we go on vacation.
All in all it was very pleasant and a welcome break from the snow still present in large quantities outside right now.

jag SKA uppdatera snart
Jag har lite tid, eftersom jag är sjuk och inte jobbar (så mycket) idag. Men det finns ju så mycket att göra. Jag har börjat betala tv-avgiften också. Det kändes vuxet. Jag märker direkt att det var värt det, speciellt nu när jag är sjuk. Man kan, helt utan dåligt samvete, titta på franska vetenskapsdokumentärer som "Jättetrögdjurets grotta". Jag ska fan åka ner till tv-huset och sjunga "Tack SVT", filma det och fråga om dom kan sända klippet i Anslagstavlan.
