Credit crunch?

April 20, 2009

I heard you were having a bit of a time over there, so I thought I’ll come over and spend some money to sort of help you out in these difficult financial times.

With my pockets full of Swedish kronor, I pass the boarder and entered the United Kingdom once again in a very short amount of time.

I came to London to shop but it wasn’t easy when all the shops were closed.

So you are talking about recession and bad times, but then I want to know why you close all your shops when London is full of tourist with spending money. Is there anything wrong with our money? Would it make a difference if we used cheque books rather then credit cards?

My old home is up for sale and as no one is buying during these very difficult times, my guess is it will be on the market for some time. I’ve been thinking of putting in a very low offer. The money I’ve spent on hotels in London would be enough for the deposit. It could be my second home. How flash!

We talked about it over Champagne at Nobu. There and then, happy on Champagne, we decided I would defiantly do it. I would buy my old home back, and move in.

The inclination this country has towards me these days is very powerful.

But since I’m not mad, I am of course staying put where I am. Why go back to hell when you live in paradise (Sweden)?

Pointless

Dear people, tonight I´m going to look so good, I´m heading out with my best friend J and everything is at it´s best. Tonight I´ll be sharing thoughts of the day “tankar för dagen” as we say in Sweden. Imagine you had the possibility to express the most profound meaning and everything you had experienced so far in life and put it in to one sentence, or a few, for five minutes, What would you say? Probably you would try to think of something meaningful to express something you would consider valuable to everyone else in the world, or something that would sound meaningful in the ears of others. Wouldn´t you? Oh yes you would. But what if there was nothing I could say that would change anything for you? What if your path was already decided. Then all my efforts to transfer any thoughts of the day to you would be pointless? Would it not?
What if any discussions with friends and any chats whit therapists was in vain? Imagine that life just has it´s course and all you need to do is tag along, That´s what I think.
