Glasgow 2.0

Hello again life.

I have now returned to my beautiful second city. Or if it is my first at the moment. I must say it has been quite a drastic change in temperature to return from a mostly sunny summer-Stockholm to a biting cold, at night, fall-Glasgow. In my new flat especially is the cold weather a very clear fact. I am hopping around in pyjama pants, ridiculously warm slippers and two to three anoraks every day, still freezing. Brr! Thank god for tea and good company! Speaking of my new flat, the temperature must be one of the very few, yet crucial, negatives in the apartment. All the rooms are soo beautiful and I have now managed to move most of the furniture into the right rooms. The negatives would be:

1. The cold
2. The stupidity (or general dumbness) of the electrician who's supposed to fix the smoke alarm in the room next to mine for not bringing a ladder (!!!) and not having returned when scheduled leaving me with no other choice than to not spend any nights in my own room. It's gone a whole week and still haven't tried it out!
3. The gas hob. They're so outdated and this one has no temperature regulator meaning that instead of having 1-6 on all the hotplates it has "On" and "Off". How on earth am I supposed to cook rice?! Or anything at all?! I am already a lousy chef!

But otherwise, as I said. I am completely in love with it.
I also have no laptop or mobile phone or internet but the plus side with having that exact flat is that I am only about 2 minutes away from the library which is where I'm currently located. Think it's time for me to hop on down to la casa though. My feet are getting cold and I want to jump into bed!

Dear Life,

Stockholm has been treating me pretty well since I ended work limiting most of my worries down to being able to meet all of my people enough before I leave. Time's running short and now I have a bare two weeks left before I arrive with explodingly full bags at the letting office to pick up the keys to my very first (though shared) flat. It'll be grand! My entire body is tingling with excitement and I have a feeling this year's gonna be great! But I will miss my family and friends a lot - some of whom I've grown even closer to during my relatively short stay back home - and as always when I leave a place I feel like there's not enough time. Life as a nomad is truly lovely, but it has it's high price.

Lots of love (and I mean it - I'm practically exploding myself),

The Beatles

Never quite seemed to fall in love with the Beatles like so many other music lovers, not that I don't like them or anything, but I just haven't gotten that extra vibe from them that makes you almost fall off your chair. I heard this song first yesterday however, and I really love it. I think I must've heard it before sometime because it seems so familiar, but now I know a new song to play as soon as I get my voice back. Success!

Enjoy the vid - these kids are so cute!

Potter - the best "cure" for a fever in my generation.

What would I be without the films on a day like this. Having a fever let me rewatch the two first movies yesterday. Guess what I'm about to do today? Don't get me wrong - this headache is killing me, and I'm literally trying all kinds of pills to get it to stop, but watching a childhood classic is really comforting!

Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face
