Today I have a cold, and my thoughts are thus even less coordinated than usual.
I've realised that I never wrote about our second visit to Barranco, one of my favourite districts, on Friday. I even took pictures, so I will have to get back to that.
Now that I've discovered Din Gata, I am slowly but surely becoming reintegrated into Sweden, at least virtually. Yesterday I was quoted in the broadcast as "an e-mail from Peru". I got annoyed because a caller (f) made strippers out as the most ignorant, stupid creatures on this earth, so I wrote a message saying that some strippers might be financing their quantum physics studies that way.
Today, thanks to the same radio channel, my attention was drawn to the blogs of Sweden's foreign minister, Carl Bildt: Alla Dessa Dagar & Bildt Comments.
Regardless of the ideology he represents, Carl Bildt seems to be plotting his very own particular course, and having a blog only makes him more sympathetic to me. I will endeavour to have a look from time to time.
A complete contrast to these two cool, composed and diplomatic sites, I stumbled over a Norwegian blog which is nothing but irreverent: Til helvete med moderasjon. Translated the title reads "to hell with moderation". When I first spotted it, there was a Norwegian quote:
"I'd bet the entire oil money fund that I'll never be minister of finance. (self-fulfilling bet)".
Finally, the word of the day from Oxford is:
pisco
• noun [mass noun] a white brandy made in Peru from muscat grapes.
— origin named after a port in Peru.
So there you have it.
