I have followed SMHI this week, so I have been able to plan for a nice walk. On Tuesday SMHI promised sunshine on Friday and they were right. Since I am in Stockholm I could not have cutie or sweetie with me, so instead I had photos of dogs walking in the sunshine. They seemed to be very happy, and they must be very busy since they might find bones they have hidden previous seasons. Dogs forget where they hide, and then they are very happy when they rediscover their treats. Dogs are fun, and I hope I can find that dog karaoke I have heard of. The dogs sing along with sounds they like.

Walking is time for reflection, and today, I don’t know why, I thought a lot about Magdalena Ribbing. She passed away a few years ago, and she has written books and also quite a lot in “Dagens Nyheter”. In brief, she thought us how to behave. Sometimes there might be situations when you don’t know what to do, for example if you are going to a dinner and you don’t know what to bring for a gift. When to give a speech at the dinner. Or not. And in particular, what is allowed to say like politics and religion. Restrictions, politeness, behaviour, common sense etc. Maybe a little French. I think I have told you that I have a book about how to formulate a letter at various occasions such as work and other eg formal situation, but also to eg friends at certain occasions. I miss Ribbing, and I think it is time for DN (Dagens Nyheter) to find a new writer. I understand them since she is difficult to replace.

While walking today, I searched for early signs for spring. Spring is a month earlier this year. I had this photo above. Isn’t it nice? On Sunday, the 8th of March, it is the International Women’s Day. A global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. I have never done anything special on this day. Maybe I should. This Sunday I will work. How are you going to celebrate?
