A saturday on the road

Degefors Steel. Love the letters.

My candy outfit. If I travel across country to be on stage to give a talk, I feel I have to dress the part.

Sometimes it’s hard being a vegetarian. First decent food I found was at 1600 hours and it was a Pizza.
I then got a sms from home, apparently Beppe got some new friends or new set of family.

7 hours on a train today. I am glad the sequel to The Circle is out. This one is called Fire! One thing I do not get is why all these kind of books (hunger games, twilight etc.) has to be called youth novels. They are about younger people but ?

When I passed the subway stop Slussen in Stockholm this morning I had to think about the Beastie Boys concert in 1995. I had jumped around for hours. I was sweaty and so tired I had to sit at the subway stop for like 30 minutes before heading home (And this was when I was in shape as a semi pro basket baller and I lived 5′ from the station). I was so happy and kind of euphoric! What a great concert and what a great band!
RIP MCA

 

Update:

Also – watch this tribute by Coldplay! I am amazed by people who’s got the talent to just make a little tribute in half a day!

The Swedish Tooth Fairy

2012 May 4
by Jenny Brandt

After weeks of wiggling- the tooth is bound to come off. If it happens at school-storage is an important issue. The precious tooth can not get lost. There is money at stake here!

At my kids school they have a “Transportation Box” for these situations. The box (that´s actually a glass jar) has been made special with small stickers and a tag saying that “The box has to be returned to the Preschool” once the delivery has been made.

Then the money-making can begin. The Swedish tooth fairy likes to pick up the teeth nice and clean so the kids have to put them in a glass of water before going to bed.

And in the morning, hopefully, there is money. In some rare cases the tooth has still been sitting there. Usually there is a neglecting fairy to blame. Or maybe “he got stuck in traffic”. If so.. just do the same thing next night but make sure to set an reminder on your phone.
