Today started off with a trip to the bakery. Göteborgs best bakery! If you like your sour-dough bread and your ecological stuff this is the place to come to. And, yet another plus, it’s cheap! I’m giving the cheapness to the fact that the bakery is run as a co-op. (At least I think it is.) Heres the link: Cum Pane!
So, back home for a sour-dough bread breakfast! Then, during coffee, Camilla and I decided to go into town to get some stuff done.
1. Cleaners!
We went to the cleaners to get a jacket, a shirt and a pair of pants, jeans clean. Since the jeans were of a raw selvage kind I wanted them to be dry cleaned. In fact I insisted on it. The girl in the store wanted me to have them water cleaned stating that dry cleaning it might get the grease and other fats out but it would not get them really clean and the smell of well worn in jeans, would not come out. Two things are strange about this, One: the jeans makers, the makers of fine raw selvage denim, recommend dry-cleaning over machine wash. Two: Did she by that statement dismiss at least half of her business as a fraud?
We’ll see how they turn out when I’ll get them back.
2. Perfume!
Got a gift certificate for my birthday. Got it to buy a perfume. So I did. Paul Smith Man.
3. Textile colour and shower curtain!
Camilla and I both have miss-coloured shirts. Shirts which we both love, and want to wear. We’ll try to keep them alive by colouring away the stains. We also needed a new shower curtain so we bought one of those. A really stripe:y one.
4. Dog food!
Yes, The Boo needs his fix. So, we got it.
A little observation. As we parked our car, in one of Göteborgs more central car-parks, here’s a couple of the cars parked next to us: Mercedes R500, Mercedes GLK 350 cdi, Land Rover (the biggest one), Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade and the biggest pic up ever. Now, were in the middle of Göteborg, not a big town but still big enough for traffic to prevent speeds over 50 kmh, and there’s not a lot of space… Now, this is not an original thought but who drive’s these cars? People with money? And would you think it’s a stretch to think that all of these cars have gotten to the car-park with one driver and no passengers?
Then back home and the studying began. Was going to finish my Bachelors’s Thesis today but in the mail I got another little hand-in assignment due today. So, I did that.
In between the studied I have taken a couple of walks with The Boo. It has been a beautiful day here in göteborg. Cold as hell but blue skies so I’m not complaining. In fact, I am doing the opposite. Summers greenness and all that, but it can’t really compare to the colour explosions of fall going into winter. The green, red, yellow, brown and versions there of. Amazing.
Here’s a pic of the tree outside our balcony:
Before I’ll leave you I’ll give you a pic of the in-studio work KG and I did yesterday:
A bit of a long post with not much interesting said…
There you have it.
