Take 3 - top

Another day has passed, as uneventful as all the previous. I still feel like in transit, who can accept that this is it? The summer is in full swing and I could be on my way to Mexico, at the Roskilde festival, or walking Hadrian´s wall. But I´m not. I move from the deckchair to the couch to the kitchen. Repeat.

I read a little, I knit a little, I feck about on the internet, I eat. Repeat.

Life goes by, without me, and I sometimes wonder if I´m used to it by now. I might be, or it might just be the cocktail in pill-form that dried up the tears.

The knitting has progressed, conveniently in time for my mother´s birthday, and some of the Danish yarn has been turned in to my very first top! I was proud for about 5 minutes, then started thinking about what to make next, and discovered to my horror that nice wool yarn for a sweater costs more than it does to buy the clothes in a shop! It annoys me that the Swedish Ebay, Tradera is crap and has hardly nothing on offer =(

Actually, Sweden still has lots to learn when it comes to selling things of the net and posting it. The point for most is to buy the stuff cheaper on-line since there is no actual store to maintain, meaning the costs can be cut. But then postage in this country is so bloody extortionate that it ends up being cheaper (and much faster) to get it directly from a shop anyway! Having dreadlocks I use a special schampoo I get from a company in the US. They have a few web shops in UK which I used to use, but now when I´m back in Sweden I though I´d find out if there was someone around here who sold it too, thinking that would save me a few bob. I did find a shop alright, but I was shocked when I did the maths! 2 bottles of shampoo + postage from UK would cost me 290 sek, and the same two bottles bought from a web shop based about 20 mins drive from the house, would with postage be 525 sek! Someone is in this to make a buck I tell ya!

Well I might just not bother and shave em all off. I know I´ve said that before, but even though I like em and have had them for 6 odd years they´re mostly in the way and take alot of maintenence. We´ll see
