20th July 2009 – Heading south again

It’s now Monday evening and I’m sitting on the train heading south again, down to my parents place. I’ve spent my first vacation day doing mainly three things; travelling by public transportation, failing in all missions set for the day and doing some impulsive shopping in a desperate attempt to compensate for the failures and make myself happy again. (“Tröstshopping” in Swedish.) It worked remarkably well.

For the next couple of days I’m hoping for some quality time with my parents and the sun, which I really hope will have the courtesy of paying a visit. I need to work on my tan before my pale Englishman comes visiting. I will pick him up in Copenhagen on Friday and you will hear nothing more from me until he is gone again two weeks later. We have a busy schedule meeting all my very curious and indiscrete friends. Everyone is extremely eager to meat him. Eva and Linus have named their newborn son after him, Henrik Yngve traded his present screensaver picture of a not too dressed David Beckham for photos of a not too dressed Tim. (Well, Henrik does work in mysterious ways…) Tim is now referred to as snygg-Tim, and consequently joins an exclusive group in which already snygg-Jonas, snygg-Oscar and snygg-Christian (especially in pilot uniform) are members. As far as I know neither of them ever got the honor of being on his screensaver, though. So he definitely gets special treatment and has a lot to live up to when he comes.
