Last night was a lovely evening in London with unusual warm weather. After a long day of meetings I met up with Philip and we took a nice stroll up to Holborn ending up at a pub across the street from British Museum.
As usual our conversation covered most everything from the latest in British politics to the cricket World Cup to philosophy, travels and the Internet. While talking about the Internet Philip brought up a phenomena just starting in the UK – Politicians having their own Facebook pages and being part of the ever growing social networking. Even though just starting it will be interesting to see whether it will have an impact on politics and its lobbying business or not, and of course if it will come to Sweden. Here the mainstream media still think that politicians who keep a blog are the uttermost of social media.
Interesting conversations demands food so while the sun was setting we walked back to the West End and a Indonesian Malaysian restaurant called Bali Bali. A place we have walked by several times and wanted to try, but it has either been closed or full. Something that might be one of the reasons why we didn’t find the food as good as we had anticipated. But still the food was totally OK and we left both happy and satisfied. And very tired I might add. Looking at each other over the table we both realised that we were knackered and most of all just wanted to go home and sleep. Something that made at least me think – What the heck are we doing working so much and so hard? Is it really worth it? But that’s a totally different question or post.
