Ok, so it’s not a very long one, but I am actually having a holiday this weekend – and taking Friday off, too! Me and two girls from work are going to Stockholm – flying extremely cheaply with Ryanair – something of a spur of the moment thing. Well, we booked the tickets about two weeks ago, but for international travel (hey, we get to do tax-free shopping!) that counts as spur of the moment. We have no plans, beyond plane there Thursday evening, plane back Monday morning (at some unholy hour) and room booked at a reasonable hostel-type-thing. Oh, and “paint the town red”, of course. That’s definitely the plan.
Actually, AK had an offer from someone in Stockholm to set us up with “ungkarer i en alder av 34-37. Alle med jobb og lang utdanning……. – men de er svenske.” (bachelors between 34-37. All with a job and seconday education…… – but they are Swedes. That last bit’s a bit of a joke – Swedes and Norwegians tell jokes about each other, so being Swedish could be considered a serious drawback in any potential blind date situation.) She said “Do we want to?” and I replied “Never” in a tone that so obviously said “Yes, please” that I made her laugh out loud in the middle of a meeting. Oops. Anyway, I don’t know if she’s heard back yet, so maybe nothing will come of it, but it could be good for a laugh, and nice to have company one evening who could potentially show us some good pubs.
Talking about good pubs, I wonder if there are any good whisky bars in Stockholm? Probably. Must do some research.
