We all have a drawer in which we put all the miscellaneous items we have nowhere else to put. It’s the perfect solution. All the weird things are hidden from sight and promptly forgotten.
I was cleaning this drawer the other day and I found this.
It’s the business card I got at my first job eight years ago. There was no chance I would use up the huge piles of cards I got, so for a while I used to write the grocery shopping list on the backside. But in the end the cards got placed in the “mystery drawer” never to be used again.
Another thing I found was a piece from the brake handle of the scooter Camilla rented on Kalymnos.
The easiest way to get around on the Greek islands is usually to rent a scooter. However, if you haven’t driven one before it can be a harrowing experience. Especially going up or down the steep gravel hills to the climbing crags.
That’s what happened to Camilla. Being careful she was going a bit to slow downhill and the slower you go the trickier it is to keep the heavy scooter in balance. So she wanted to stop. However, stopping in the middle of a steep downhill section is hard if not impossible for us inexperienced bikers.
The result was that she and the scooter toppled over. Luckily she didn’t get hurt and all that happened to the scooter was that the piece of the brake handle you can see above fell off.
When returning the scooters we charmed the guy renting us the scooters and told him a story of the scooter falling over when parked in the soft gravel at some crag so we got out of paying for the broken handle.
När solen sken i lördags så åkte vi till Dalkarskärret, en liten oansenlig klippa utanför Uppsala, för lite lätt tradklättring. Vi började med Talangjakten, 4, för att sedan klättra Balansnisse, 4, och avsluta med Fissure Grund, 5c.
Den sista hade jag faktiskt inte gjort på riktigt sätt innan. Jag kommer ihåg att jag tyckte det var svårt och obehagligt att få till kilplaceringen innan layback-cruxet för två år sedan när jag provade. Nu var det som en promenad i parken, dvs inga problem alls.
Quite an exciting match last night between Mark Selby and Ryan Day in the Royal London Watches Grand Prix. Trailing two frames behind Selby managed to catch up only to miss a crucial match-winning red in the last frame leaving it open for Ryan Day to win the match.
Ronnie O’Sullivan has won his first two matches even though he has admitted to playing bad at best and usually playing just poor. So that’s promising for the rest of the tournament!
