On Another Note

If it had not been for the arrest of the suspected gunman today, the most important news in Malmö would have been - and perhaps still is for some - the soccer game today

Today is the the final round of the Swedish soccer championship and the team from Malmö, MFF, stands at good chance to become the Swedish champions this year if they defeat the visiting team from Mjällby.

So why am I telling you this, you may wonder, especially since I could not care less about whether or not MFF wins or loses. I only watch soccer occasionally to look at the players legs.

Well you see, Malmö is the neighbouring town to my hometown Lund. It is also the town where I work. So "everyone" has been talking about this game forever, I have been totally bored.

So for my sake please join me in hoping that MFF - or "di blåe" ("the blue") as they are lovingly called by their fans - win today, or it will not be fun at work the coming weeks.

Arrest made in the Malmö-shootings

As I have told you in an earlier post, there is a gunman prowling the streets of Malmö at night shooting at immigrants. At least one victim han been killed and several have been seriously harmed.

A 38 y.o man has today been arrested at his home in central Malmö as a probable suspect for these hate-crimes. The arrested man denies all allegations.

Let us all hope that this reign of terror in Malmö can now be brought to an end.

Attention jurors

Today I discovered I had forgotten to tag four of the contributions with the "Nakna avatarer i SL"-tag when posting them. I corrected the mistake immediately.

The four contributions that were not previously tagged were numbers 8, 29, 41 and 48.

If the two jurors that have already voted wish to change their votes, please send me a new notecard.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this mistake may have caused you.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

I am only a frail and sinful human, after vowing never again to use a non-Linden viewer, I finaly succumbed to the temptations of the Phoenix viewer today.

May God have mercy on my soul and may all my Saints be with me! I really don´t want to end up in another Emerald debacle, so pray for me please.

All Saint´s Day in Sweden

Today is "All Saint´s Day" in Sweden.

It is a day of remembrance, dignity and reflection. We have the custom of lighting candles and laying flowers or wreaths on the graves of our dear departed on this day.

We also take time to remember the one´s we have lost.

I remember the following people with special love today.

My darling Ars (Doug), who´s love will always keep me warm and safe,
My brother R, who died as an infant and whom I never knew but have always missed in my life,
My sister C, who´s love reminds me of the joy of living,
My maternal grandmother V, who´s love teaches me how to handle desperate times
and
My paternal grandfather F, who´s love teaches me to notice the shy and silent.

I don´t believe in a life hereafter, but if it should exist I hope my saints have all connected there!
