The 1980´s. It was fun, colourful, and some great music.

Today: Correspondence. Optican´s. Washing-up. Thinking of a way to get tanned very fast. The answer is to grab a bottle - a self-tanner, that is. Not Pimm´s. Even though that would be lovely on a day like this.

Pizza Fungi (cheese and mushrooms); or kebab from the best place in Uppsala!

The first one was Hansel and Gretel.

We just sold our corner writing-desk. That´s great; now we can furnish the living-room as we have planned. Am still somewhat tired after sinusitis, but it´s getting better.

Out and about, bloody important tax papers to sign. Half-dead due to sinusitis, but argued that no-one will notice if I wear 4" heels. So now I´m 5'6", and madly tired.

Several. Lovely Rita by The Beatles, and Dressed in Black by Depeche Mode stand out among the usual suspects.
They are great songs by two great bands, but not as well-known as She Loves You or Enjoy the Silence.

The Queen in Snow White. Marvellous make-up!

Dave Gahan sings: "My little soul will leave a footprint" on the latest Depeche Mode album.
But how? Do souls have feet? Or have souls something to do with "carbon footprints"?

Metaphysics galore!

I feel like death warmed over, but haven´t looked this good for years.
Strange.

(No, not boasting. Just very unaccustomed to that different person in the mirror. Am still doing double-takes when I pass the hall mirror, not recognising myself in the reflection.)

Was reminded of a poem by the Swedish writer Stig Dagerman, and all I remember is the phrase: "O huge spittoon of God."
Absurd.
