Word of the Day
Gerontocracy – ”is a form of oligarchical rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population.” Right, enough of Rousseau for tonight…
Som ett helt nytt jag.
Gick och klippte mig imorse. Ingenting dramatiskt, bara lite rutin-klipp. När man ser topparna spreta åt alla håll – då vet man att det är dags. Men ni vet känslan av att bli av med de där centimetrarna. Rätt knasigt egentligen, några centimeter hit eller dit, men man känner sig som en helt ny människa. Så mycket […]
Great day.
Wonderful sunshine. Wonderful day. Wonderful run. Wonderful debate. Wonderful tuna and egg salad. And I can go on. Fantastic day, but it’s hard to truly appreciate it when you know that there are people who aren’t as well off; not as happy. We’d better do something about that.
Girls who just have fun
Listened to Kim Cattrall last night, aka Samantha in Sex and the City. Amazing Q&A session where she shared her best seduction-tips, sex positions and fashion designers. Naturally, we warmed up before, watching an episode of the show and drinking a couple of cosmos, to truly be in the right mood. She found it too […]
Allas vår Engla.
Under de senaste dagarna har debatten kring Englas begravning kretsat i alla stora medier. SVT ansåg det vara ett riktigt beslut att direktsända den lilla flickans begravning, då det var hennes familjs önskan. ”Skälet till den här sändningen är den enorma medkänsla och uppskattning som familjen fått av det svenska folket, och det sträcker sig […]
Men’s day?
Today it’s Ladies’ day here at Hilda’s. Wonder if there will be a Men’s day as well next year. I mean, we’re all for equality, right?
Bear with me.
Today our JCR (typ elevråd) choose to spend £200 on cookies/doughnuts and spirits (Whiskey, Absolut, Pimms) in the middle of the day, then giving it away for ”free” to the students. Of course we all paid for it on our battles and it’s definitely not ”free”. This is not what the JCR should do. Couldn’t they […]
A regular Friday
With two great tutorials, lunch in the sun with the principal and dinner with too much wine in a wonderful French restaurant with Emily, this day turned out pretty well in the end. 🙂 Great day. Tomorrow will not be just as great, but that’s a later problem. Adios.
Lyxfrukost i Garden 10
Tyvärr hör det inte till vanligheterna med en sittande frukost här på morgonen. Vanligtvis, tidsoptimist som jag är, försöker jag maximera sömnen istället, alltför ofta till bekostnad av frukosten. Idag hände det plötsligt iallafall. Mitt morgonmöte blev framflyttat och jag fick möjlighet att i lugn och ro läsa dagens tre svenska tidningar (1, 2, 3) […]
David x 2
Realise, I’ve been quite bad, not writing about all the things that are going on here – all the time. Partly because I’ve been working more than usual recently; partly becaue we all begin to take these fantastic speakers for granted, I fear. We know there’s a steady flow of fantastic people coming here from all […]
