No Friday Five, so here’s yesterday’s Thursday Three instead:

1. What would be your ideal job?
Well, Ive got this idea that I want to run a combined pub (of the kind that serves real ale & cider and has an excellent malt whisky selection, naturally) and second-hand bookshop in some relatively small town in Scotland (or Wales, or England, whatever). And I’d do free-lance or hobby-based web design and such on the side, of course. I think I’d like that.

2. What job are you most likely to get?
Well, how about the one I have at the moment? I got that, didn’t I?

3. What job would be your idea of hell?
Job-wise, you mean? Anything too repetitive or where I’d have to deal with people constantly would be bad. As I’m reminded every time I have to take a call at work, I couldn’t do telephone support full-time. And telephone sales would probably have me ready to jump off a cliff in a week (if I lasted that long).

Meg has the most wonderful entry on pc songs to sing at school.

Right.

Which Personality Disorder Do You Have?

I’ve just been to pick up the developed slides from the last Scotland trip. I seem to have spent most of my time trying to catch a certain person unawares. Well, at least there are pictures of people for once, normally what I come home with is just a lot of flowers and buildings and such. Not that there’s not a lot of that this time. There are pictures of the insides (where allowed, and some where not really allowed…) and outsides of all the distilleries we visited and all the other stuff that normally catches my eye on a trip like that. Hence the massive amount of pictures this time. One-and-a-half weeks, 10ish times 36 pictures. It will take some time to sort through them. And when I’ll get around to scanning any is an unanswerable question. We’ll see. Eventually.

Voice in my head: Michael Wiehe – Hemmet

How I managed that…

There ought to be a law against getting up at four in the morning. We have lots of other laws to protect people from their own stupidity, so why not this one?

Anyway. Safely back from Trondheim (the plane was 45 minutes late due to snow – all I could think of was “I could have stayed in bed for another 45 minutes!”), if a little on the tired side.

Voice in my head: Neil Young – Harvest Moon

Ok, I know there’s nothing new here. I mean, when do I ever not want to be in the UK?

But October is National Cider & Perry Month! Mmmm. Me want. Now!

Instead of the UK, though, I will be going to Trondheim this weekend. Martin‘s teaching the students at UKA to enjoy cigars and I’m coming along for, uhm, well, nothing in particular, really, except I don’t want to be in Oslo for a whole weekend without him. I know. Sickening, isn’t it?

I’ll tell you what is sickening, actually. Apparently this is a real house that someone is trying to sell (well, wouldn’t you?). Some redecoration might be necessary…

Voice in my head: The Proclaimers – 500 Miles

I seem to remember having done this quiz before and I’m sure I didn’t get the same result last time, but who cares?

A recycled Friday Five, apparently, but then I wasn’t doing the FF back in 2001:

1. Name five things in your refrigerator.
3 jars of olives, no, sorry, 4 jars of olives.
Heinz tomato ketchup.
Jam (strawberry and blueberry).
Milk.
One bottle of English cider.

2. Name five things in your freezer.
Pizza (home made and store bought).
Swedish meatballs.
Haggis.
Home made fiskepudding (like meatloaf, except made from fish) from Martin‘s mother.
(Until this morning) a dead grashopper for my mother.

3. Name five things under your kitchen sink.
A broken whisky nosing glass and various other bits and pieces waiting to go to recycling.
Water purifyer for the fish-tank.
Paints from when I moved in.
Aluminium foil.
Jif kitchen cleaner.

4. Name five things around your computer.
Paper (piles of it).
A now empty coffee mug.
Telephone.
Toothpick.
A green cuddly dragon from the Stockholm trip in May (I won it at Gr?na Lund), holding a coctail-stick (shaped like a palm tree) from Koh Phangan.

5. Name five things in your medicine cabinet.
Ibuprophen (various brands, various sizes).
Nytol.
Trionetta.
Compeed anti-blister thingies.
Iron supplement.

Another list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. I’ve read 26 of them. In addition, I’ve started another 8 and put them down unfinished for some reason or other. And in another 15 cases I’ve read another work by the author than the one on the list.

Not too bad.

Been reminded of a lot of books that I’ve been meaning to read though.

So many books, so little time.
