Det lackar mot jul och dagarna går långsamt Men jag hade en trevlig promenad och lunch med syrran tidigare i dag. Jag hann vara ute i flera timmar under den ljusa tiden på dagen.

It’s late. The teenager has a friend over. The twins have a friend over. They’re staying over night. I am tired. I want to get to sleep but find it hard when all the young ones still are awake. I feel a bit trapped in my own home. My wife are still up, I’m in bed writing this. I feel a bit sad for no specific reason. We’ve had a good day, I took my daughter and her friend to one of the ice skating places and we stayed for hours. We got plenty of daylight and exercise. Still, I am feeling a bit sad right now. Me and my wife just watched Citizen Kane. Never saw it before. What a great movie. Also a bit sad.
Am I going to keep MB? Write.as? Bearblog? Posthaven? The last one I’ll keep forever, don’t really know about the other ones. Mb I like for the community, it actually works. WA has got the far best writing tool. Bearblog is the best looking. Posthaven will last forever and I really like the whole service.
I just can’t sleep any more. I woke up an hour ago, way too early to be a Saturday, but I’m not going to try to get back to sleep anymore. I’ve been scrolling my Twitter feed. Learned about Tony Hsiah. He just passed away I read. I had never heard about him before but apparently he was a big shot in the American business environment. He started Zappos, got rich, sold it to Amazon and got even richer. But the thing that got me reading several articles was the fact that he seemed a nice guy, a genuinely nice and caring person. He was involved with a project who’s goal was to make downtown Las Vegas a place for walking, cafes and small businesses and from what I learned he invested loads of money in that project. He passed just 46 years old. Haven’t found any descriptions about the cause of death.
I’m still in bed and me wife is laying next to me. She’s snoring. Maybe I’ll have to get up, put on some coffee. Maybe I should go for a walk.
I miss hanging out with friends so much. I haven’t seen them in a long while now. We had dinner plans a couple of weeks ago but we had to cancel when the restrictions were tightened. Today I’ll see one of my closest friends outside. We are going for a morning run. I am looking forward to this very much. #running #sodermalm
Read this really interesting article about Lisboa today in one of Sweden’s biggest daily newspaper. It says the mayor is determined to make the inner city lively again by a new residential deal.
The prime minister of Sweden spoke to the nation. The message: Cancel. Postpone. Keep social distance. The danger is not over. The virus continues to spread.
Just read The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. What a novel. 📖
I just made a group on Facebook to cheer myself up. It’s in Swedish: Fula bilder i köket. It means Ugly pictures from kitchens.
It’s been a while. I am working a lot right now, from home, and there isn’t much else happening in the days of corona. I try to think about the whole thing in the most positive way, and that means I am focusing on my family the hours I’m not working. I walk, I run, I try to be outside as much as I can during the weekends but November in Stockholm, well it’s not the best of times. Usually I would go out and meet friends at a bar, but right now that’s the worst thing you could do. The spread of the virus is continuing. Take care.
Good morning mb. It’s been a while. The dark season is here in Stockholm and the pandemic is far from over. Actually it’s getting worse. I would have gone to a restaurant with my two best friends tonight but we had to cancel. And that’s fine, everybody has to cancel everything except work and school, but it makes life very slow. What if there was no internet? Books are the best but also communication.
Anyone read Rethinking Real Eastate by Dror Poleg?
You see that dark building? There used to be offices and a parking garage. Now all is empty. The owner, a real estate company connected to a big Swedish pension fund, is waiting for a permission to replace the whole thing with new apartment buildings. It’s been empty for years.
Spent this afternoon watching a game of bandy. IRL. It was great. But my team IK Tellus lost, 2-8.
Today is football day. My daughter is playing a cup. I’ll work in the clubs café.
Det här är skrivet på en app som heter Drafts och som @Maique hyllar på Micro.Blog stup i kvarten. Den påminner om Anteckningar på IPhone men med några fler funktioner. Onödigt många om du frågar mig. Men att kunna skriva med markdown är bra.
Stockholm has got the autumn collection colours.
I find Casey Newtons way of working as a journalist very inspiring. He’s leaving The Verge (The Interface) for a go at Substack under the name Platformer.
Hello everyone, it’s been a while. I have been working and doing all kinds of stuff you do when you are living with a wife and threes kids. I try to read books and long stories in papers and magazines, I walk a lot but the running, well, that’s not for me right now. I find it hard to find the motivation. It’s the autumn coming. The dark nights and the tiredness. I am usually pretty good on finding the small things making the every day life a bit more shiny, but the latest couple of weeks I have just been tired. Luckily my wife isn’t too hard on me.
I cooked for the seven people earlier today. My daughter had two friends over for dinner. I made a vegetarian stew. It was alright. Not fantastic, not awful.
This fatigue, I’m starting to think it’s boredom. I have the wife and kids around me and all but I find it hard right now to find those injections of joy you need now and then to stay on top of things.
I may destroy you, what a fantastic tv-show. Just watched episode number five and it really gets under your skin.
Jag går en morgonpromenad längs vattnet och gatlyktorna är ännu tända. Det börjar onekligen bli mörkare, vilket känns i kroppen. Den extraenergi som sommarljuset brukar ge tynar bort nu. Jag tycker verkligen inte om det. Lösningen är att rikta uppmärksamheten mot allt som ger glädje.
Anyone had the chance to try out Telepath?
My day in three pictures. One of the best. #torplife
