It’s Thursday evening, January is acting exactly like January usually does and I’m usually walking around exhausted. Sitting in front of the computer for a while and letting my fingers do a little typing on their own is my go-to solution for almost everything. Here comes today’s blog dose with some of the things I’m thinking about right now. Keep credit!
A few things I’m thinking about right now
Beckham-gate and the fact that more and more people seem to be cutting off contact with their parents/siblings etc.
British tabloids have sometimes been my guilty pleasure (expect one in my Christmas stocking every year!) and I’ve never wanted to read them as much as I do now. This week, the now historic Instagram stories of the Brooklyn couple’s eldest son fell like bombs on the world.
Our crazy contemporary cooperated desperate We need to talk about something other than war, Trump and Greenland. Brooklyn breaks up with her parents for reasons that make Posh Spice seem worse than Snow White’s evil stepmother (or mother-in-law, if there was one in the story). But is that reason enough to cut off contact with the entire family? You can indeed ask that. By the way, that’s my opinion More and more people seem to be breaking contact with their parents/brothers and sisters etc. My sister, a psychologist, agrees.
I like staying in hotels. Love!
Yesterday I started a blog post with that same title. I’ll save the finished post for another time, but without embroidering the text I can at least say this is the case. Earlier this week I checked into Hotel Skeppsholmen to celebrate the end of a few weeks of hard work. Lisa came over for a while to podcast and keep me company at dinner, but otherwise it was just me, myself and me. I set the mobile alarm for 07, but I ended up snoozing until 09 before running to breakfast. I would never sleep through a hotel breakfast. NEVER!
Flexible time for school-age children?
Speaking of morning fatigue and snooze habits, there’s a debate going on right now about flexible hours for kids at school. A father of four in Blekinge has two extremely morning-tired children and is now demanding that the municipality let them (and other morning-tired children) start later through some kind of flexible time solution.
Listen here: Lars is fighting to get his children to sleep more – reports the municipality
And he certainly has a point? My siblings and I have always had very different sleep rhythms (and sleep needs), and I see the same tendency in my own children. According to the research, our circadian rhythm is apparently genetically determined. The more I think about it, the better a flextime solution à la the ‘real’ working world sounds. What do you think? by?
Do you have to be either or?
As usual there are weather discussions in all possible contexts, after all we live in Sweden. As usual, I don’t understand the rhetoric. You either have to HATE winter (aka all the migratory birds that go to Thailand) or you have to LOVE it (aka everyone who does winter sports). Can’t you like (or dislike) a little bit of both?
When Trump(s) makes excuses for his name.
Yes, we are all clouded when we follow the news feed about the whims of the old man in the West. His slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ It seems to have gone a bit out of hand to say the least, or what do you think? Sometimes I wonder if the whole Greenland thing is some kind of gimmick. And with these thoughts in mind, I say thank you and good night!
