Things...

I don´t understand:
1. Why can´t people ever learn to go down a few steps when they are going out from the bus? They stand there one hundred thousand years waiting for the busdriver to open the doors!!! It doesn´t even help others in the bus when I sit close to the door, instructing the stupid ones to step down. Others do the same annoying thing anyway. I could definetly not be a bus driver. In the end I would scream like a pitbull, red in my face.

2. George Bush is the president. But there is this name for a president that has been reelected: sitting duck. This makes the whole system very static and in the end he can´t do almost anything. Why not change this system so the poor reelected president can rule as he should be allowed to?

3. I want the oilcompanies, carcompanies etc to let all the patents free and out in the public. I know they hide patents that solves a lot of climate exchangeproblems. They´ve bought them in order to hide them, just to keep on make profit on for instance oil. When the world lives in the 12th hour that should be a crime an equal to be put in rocket and sent away on a neverending journey (that is until the air is nomore).

4. And why does people think that when I am out with my children, having a stroller, I walk slowly? They think they can pass my way first. I am fast! Beware!

No pictures today. The family, together with Victoria´s sister and husband with child, went to Stockholm and "trainmuseum".
We had good weather, but it´s worse in the souther parts of Sweden. Actually I read in the newspaper that it hasn´t been this bad (amount of rain under june) since 19th century.
So today I will give you a riddle (actually it´s a very famous one. I will not give you the link yet):
"What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?"

Tomorrow I will have some kind of philosophical thoughts together with you. It´s about money, giving, Bill Gates and the richest person in the world (when it comes to money).

Just married! and Sigtuna



It´s twelve years since me and my wife married! When I sit here, for the moment alone, except for our daughters cat eating his food in the kitchen, I think to myself: time is strange!
Twelve years is on one hand quite a long time in ones life, on the other hand these years have flown on light wings! We have truly been blessed and I am thankfull for that!

Victoria and I could leave our loved children with their grandparents this weekend.
We went to a town called Sigtuna. An important place with great history, not just for Sweden but also for Europe once. We had booked a room here! How can it be that the more expensive a restaurant is, the larger are the plates and the smaller are the food??? We joked about it when we sat there, eating our six (!) meals. “-do they have anything against us? Do they have headache? Where is the food? I can´t see it?....” Of course it was delicious and the time together with the one I love the most, is what really counts.

We followed a towntour on foot and listened to many interesting details.
At six a´clock in the evening we went to a church, listening to “Ingegerd – musicsaga”:
“Ingegerd, Sigtuna and the ferritale about Ingegerd/Irina/Anna (1001-1050 ac)
About ten years ago they made an archeologic digging in the garden of Sigtuna museum. Olof the king had his kingsgarden there. One day suddenly something shone: a small golden ring. Who had dropped it? The question woke up the name Ingegerd. A thousand years ago she was playing as a seven year old around buildings in the recently built city of Sigtuna. Her father was Olof Eriksson. The todays world knows of him because he started the making of coins. He stamped the coins with his face on one side and a christian cross on the other. By this he showed that the power over the money was his, given from God.
Between the lines one can read that Ingegerd was the kings favourit child.
Ingegerd grew up, heard about the Norwegian king – Olav of Norway – and thought that this was a man to marry. But Olav was the enemy of Olof. Her father said no, and gave her hand in marriage to “king” Jaroslav from Kiev.
In her new country Ingegerd became Irina. She gave birth to ten children. As old and widow, she became a nun, now with the name Anna. One of her three daughters, Anna, married the bourbon on the throne of France. Through Anna is Ingegerd/Irina the mother to all the kinghouses of Europe.” (the quotes are taken from “Ingegerd – a musicsaga”).
If you want to see this saga yourself it´s quite likely they will perform it in Ucraine next year as a diplomat from Ucraine nearly promised after the saga.
