Mission: Get the local lunch restaurants to realise we live in the 21st century and accept card as payment.
Method: Every day first order food, then try to pay with card without having cash with me.
Game on! I will tell you when I have succeeded.
Attempt #1, 21/07/2010: still long way to go
So what’s happening this week? I can start with what have happened. Today I spent approx 4½ hours in the waiting room at St. Mary’s Hospital. 2½ hours waiting to see a doctor, and 2 hours waiting outside the pharmacy to get my inhaler. Tomorrow I will go for a test run. Still kind of tired, but hopefully I will be ok tomorrow morning.
The day got a lot better when Federer won in the first round of Wimbledon, after being down by two sets. And when I came home I attended my first YEoS board meeting in a while. It was fun. I presented some ideas and projects I have, and learned more about the exciting plans ahead. The new board is doing a really good job!
Back to what’s happening. As all Swedes know, Friday is the day for Midsummer Celebrations, not here though. This Saturday we, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, will organise a Midsummer Celebration in Hyde Park during the day. It will be super fun. Last year more than thousand people showed. The forecast for Saturday tells sunny and 24 degrees, so I think we can expect even more this year. Later in the night we will continue the celebration with a Midsummer Party at Movida. Free entrance and two drinks to all guests before 11 PM. If you’re in London, you have to come. If only for the joy of seeing me wearing a traditional Swedish costume…
