Monday. A lot to do. Queues on the Bridge. If stress had a scent, it would probably be the smell of burnt clutch plate. Maybe the daughter still not completely in the wrong when she insists on just wanting to take the driving test for a car with automatic transmission.

at the top of the brokrönet it will be completely stop. Plenty of time to check out both social media and e-mails. With a on a side of adorable view over the Old town and on the other side of the glittering Lake. Get vantage points in the world can beat Västerbrons crest on the fingers. Now, if the bridges had fingers. The only shame is that the car stinks of burnt plastic.

as a morning tired teen to the job. Colleagues who have taken a different route to work, or helicopter, the smell of coffee from the newly completed måndagsmötet. It is a welcome return of one of the younger colleagues who have been absent for a while. But he is not at all similar. After a successful gastric banding has he disappeared, to the half.
