A Day

My friend Jack posted this temperature from his car at 9.30am – 39°C/102.2°F!

Meanwhile back in my hoods…

I pounced on this in a local shop, because it is one of my favourites, very popular in South Africa, and not generally available in Sweden. It was only after I took this photograph that I noticed the store had placed it among the sanitary products. To cheer you up and sate your cravings during that time of the month, no doubt.

Christmas has exploded all over town at the same time as the Black Friday hysteria, so I am rather tired of screechy signs and screaming glitter at the moment. This decoration was rather tasteful I thought. I wish there were more cosy, subtle designs like this. It gives a cheering background glow at a very dark time of the year instead of bellowing ‘BUY ME! SHOP! SPEND!’

I was reading the Financial Times while waiting for a client and rather liked the name at top right. Paper Jam! It’s a news magazine and media company.

There is a book and magazine store in our neighbourhood called Paper Cut.

The first word that jumped off the page in his online ad was not Ana L, unfortunately…

And…yes

My inbox…

I had my last lessons at the Stockholm Administrative Court of Appeal this last week. I am going to miss the little dog statue.

One thought

  1. Janet thank you for sharing these, the sign outside Paper Cut reminded me of a sign outside a physiotherapist shop in the USA (I only heard about this never actually saw it) that read Physio The Rapist (she wondered why no one came in until she saw the way the sign writer had fit everything on the sign) rather like Ana L above.
