Grüner

More than a decade after the hype, Systembolaget started selling Grüner Veltliner in half bottles some time ago. Making some shrimp pasta with vinegar and haricot verts, I opened one to celebrate the fact that I have made it through another intensive day with the kids :-)

As I mentioned the other day, Ukraine is back in the news as tensions escalate along its border with Russia. At least, high-level negotiations are now underway between the US and Russia, it is just sad to see that we have not come further in 2021. As for alternative futures, I am very tempted to sign up for Apple TV in order to watch “For All Mankind” which is now in its second season. In the series, the space race never ended in the 1970s, leading to a future in which the Cold War still raged on but more resources were allocated to outward exploration rather than the fighting of endless wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam.
