No 44

When there is no queue for ages until you get there and then bam, out of the woodwork, three people turn up to stand in front of you. One of them will want to pay with amber (Swedish insider stone age joke). Or this morning I walk towards the cash point and can see it empty for fifty metres but of course the woman walking juuuust in front of me is headed there too for two complicated transactions aargh.

So I got my winter boots out of the cellar yesterday. Lovely fleecy things they are. But, maybe because feet always are a little different in size, I seem to have trodden down the inside of my right heel more so it feels less fleecy, i.e. like there's a hole of coldness RIGHT THERE.  Arse. I hope it isn't actually a hole forming.

When you wear tights, and the toe twists so the ridge seam doesn't lie ALONG the toes but ACROSS them which is annoying and uncomfortable. I want tights with proper feet bits, where can I find them? Reinforced toes and heels, please.

I am minutes away from sitting in a meeting for a good few hours and have just noticed my wire-tough chin hairs are starting to poke through. I will now spend entire meeting stroking them, picking at them and wishing for a pair of tweezers.

That feeling in September when you just for the life of you cannot remember who won Eurovision this year.

When people have pictures, like logos and shit, attached to their e-mail signatures so it looks like the e-mail has an attached file but it really doesn't.

Why do thermos flasks always dribble, so. I have to put mine in a plastic bag to avoid coffee stains on bag with contents?

People who wait for the (electric) kettle to turn itself off before pouring the water. What, you can't hear the water boiling? There's no LAW that says it has to turn itself off to Have Boiled. The trick is in the bubbles, eejit. Not in one kitchen full of steam later.

If you're looking at clothes that have even just a SLIGHT "vintage" air to them there seems to have been issued an edict that they must all be polkadot patterned. I don't like polkadots. I want other patterns This is especially true if the brand happens to be available to buy in Sweden - Swedish retailer will only have bought in the polka stuff. Fecking polkadots.

My husband does this thing when he reads the paper that has always annoyed me these twenty years - he folds it open somewhere in the middle for an interesting article and then when he abandons the paper he doesn't fold it back so the front page is at the front iyswim. So I have to fold it back myself because unlike PSYCHOPATHS I read the paper from front to back, natch. 

The wisdom of old age (38 if you're asking) and some therapy sessions eight years ago has made me better at letting this go, man.

See this photo of my kitchen sink? Whoever designed it should be deported to a desert island and possibly flogged. A dirtier, messier contraption is hard to imagine. They had already solved the problem of how to design a kitchen drain in the 50s. THEY MADE IT FLAT SO YOU COULD SCRAPE OUT THE MUCK EASILY. If it isn't broken don't fix it! This drain is fucking awful. Thank you for nothing Myresjökök.

Fecking wind. Cycling in the wind is the absolute worst. Well, not as worst as say having limbs chopped off, but you get my point.

1. Not keeping this blog up. There are so many annoying things to document.

2. I lost my thermos flask and the lost-and-found are all "no, don't have it". Please have it. Soon. I need my coffee.

3. I don't know which is worse, sleepless nights or nights where you sleep badly?

4. Being so pale my follicles show like black spots on my shaved legs.

It really really annoys me when people get on a semi-full or full train or bus and start scanning for empty seats with this vaguely entitled air, like wai u taik mai seet u? Just sit the hell down.
