Well, the two times he was called John it was in Swedish, so he mightn't have caught that, and when he was called David the speaker immediately caught himself and corrected to Adam so it wasn't as bad as it could've been but it was a bit odd.

(the Adam/John/David thing is because the person introducing him happened to use three different names at different times in his introduction)

Eller; längta och längta, men att de skulle kunna bli värre än de redan var är ändå oväntat

På tal om att ändra sig över en natt: när jag växte upp var KD helnykterister som var emot abort.

Tänk att man på gamla dagar skulle längta tillbaka till det.

De har ju tyvärr det.

Detta skulle kunna vara en orättvis jämförelse men det kan ju inte jag veta då jag håller mig på behörigt avstånd från båda fenomenen.

Do you mean the hålkälstegel (I'm afraid I haven't got a clue what they might be called in English)? It's actually not meant to look like that originally; the indentation is meant to be filled with mortar giving the wall a somewhat roman feel with thin bricks and wide horizontal joints.

As I'm trying to uphold a self-imposed moratorium on book buying it's a little unfair when bookshops leave things like this lying about, face up, as you casually browse the store:

Oh, sorry, I just realised you were looking for recommendations for bookshops: I'm not too sure, I tend to do my second-hand shopping on antikvariat.net but a while ago I bought a book on the old KTH-A building here: maps.app.goo.gl/opPVD27EbkcU...

It came out this summer, so entirely new. And I'm afraid I haven't got a single book on Malmö, bar this one and a very brief architectural guide, so am not the right person to ask.

Having said that I'm no particular fan of the actual reliefs, but I do like the long narrow entrance hall:

(I apologise for any drunken misspellings. There was a time in my youth where you could judge if I was drunk or not by the number of typos, if I was lying in the gutter the texts would be faultless. those days seem to be long gone)

also no one's ever asked mw of tvey could buy q light designed by me, so I probably should stay shtum.

If you ask me (a pragmatic Swede) the idea of having all glass walls in a sports hall is ridiculous, on the other hand I also think having a language where your children aren't the second oldest in the world before they learn to speak makes sense, so ...

Well, who wouldn't dream of a trip to Landskrona? Did you go by the Erskine housing, btw?
