Borderlands

Today, I took the kids up to Jonsered for a full day of live action role-playing in the woods. Set in The Borderlands between three kingdoms, Eddie and William had tons of fun with their new friends Holger and Walter, while I got to hang out with the other parents at the fireplace, so now I really smell like a cask of Laphroaig.

For lunch, I was able to grab one of yesterday’s Korean salads from Togogo at the central station for 50% off which was both a bargain and a nice flashback to my past life on the other side of the planet.

While the kids were role-playing, the rest of the world is holding its breath for what comes next between Israel and Iran. Clearly, striking other countries’ embassies with missiles is not a smart thing to do if you want to de-escalate an already tense situation so last night’s massive counterattack was perhaps not that surprising. Still, it just serves as a reminder about the lack of positive long-term visions on all sides.
