Dear Marc, this is letter 400. I hope that's ok by you.<br />
By me, it's fine too, only thing is I don't have a single important thing to say to mark such an important day.<br />
<br />
This is my life today:<br />
<br />
Must write draft for web campaign.<br />
<br />
Must find important background on sweet smelling body lotions.<br />
<br />
Must remember my brother's upcoming b-day.<br />
<br />
Must set date for return to Sweden.<br />
<br />
Must finish work to be able to spend an hour in the sun with my man.<br />
<br />
I will smell great, but perhaps not exactly the way he'd wish.<br />
The other day, I visited a <a href="http://www.bonpoint.com/collection_enfants_br.htm">Bonpoint-store</a> and since Joel wrecked half the store, I felt obliged to buy something, as a gesture of my peaceful nature and mature standing.<br />
<br />
I looked around but could only find delicate, expensive pieces of clothing only sleeping children might wear without spoiling.<br />
<br />
I might as well eat my cash with a little ketchup on.<br />
<br />
In the end though, I found an item that an adult could use, although the bottle stated in contained <i>perfume pour enfants</i>.<br />
<br />
It was such an insane thought, I had to buy it. Besides, in the store it had that perfect lemon drop scent I've tried to find for years. But as we returned home, it turned out to smell very much like the Annick Goutal scents I already have. And sure enough, she was the creator <a href="http://www.annickgoutal.com/acheter_en_ligne_parfums.htm?idCategorie=1&idParfum=1">of this scent to</a>o! Turns out she's the sister of the Bonpoint founders or something like that.<br />
<br />
I'll never forget the first time I wore Annick Goutal's <a href="http://www.annickgoutal.com/parfum_a_la_rose.htm?idCategorie=6&idParfum=33">Eau de Sud</a>. Anders looked all confused and said "what's that smell? it smells just like that stuff they use to clean the men's room."<br />
<br />
Not the reaction you hope for after shelling out whatever you pay for a bottle of French perfume.<br />
<br />
And now I've done it again.<br />
<br />
I'd better just start cutting a lemon in half and rub myself with it.<br />
<br />
And if you run into urinal smelling kids, don't be alarmed. They're probably mine, freshly sprayed with baby cologne to take away that adorable smell of babysoft skin, silky hair and overall goodness that goes with childhood. Who'd want that? Not the French!<br />
<br />
love<br />

Dear Marc, I'm back. <br />
Are you?<br />
<br />
I took the plane, which I hate. I am always convinced I will crash and as I board the plane I solemnly look at my co-passengers who will share my sad fate. They always seem happy, bored or busy, never as seriously grave as one should be when having a date with destiny in the skies. <br />
<br />
On the good side, I flew SAS, the air line with the oldest stewardesses. To me, this is in itself a reason to fly Scandinavian. Those ladies have been in the air since the days when it was a dreamy, glamorous job to ask strangers if they would like coffee or tea. That's a long time!<br />
<br />
Only one bathroom was working. <br />
I'm still cross people did not applaud my speed as I did my business in seconds out of politeness to other passengers also about to crash. <br />
<br />
It's difficult even writing about my fear of flying. I feel it might be prophetic and that I will crash and people will point to the blog and say "look, she knew. but wait, if she really knew, would she have bragged about her toilet habits?". <br />
<br />
I might, I'm so mysterious. <br />
<br />
Come fly the friendly skies with me. <br />
<br />
That top picture has nothing to do with this post. I just feel I have to share my kids and the LeGuelaff Breezes.<br />
<br />
love<br />

The words ”only fungi survive” etched themselves into my mind and I tried to come up with ways I could alter my own contribution to the speedy decay of the planet.<br /><br />I thought of the buy-nothing-day. It seemed so futile. A buy-nothing-month, or perhaps buy-nothing-year would make more sense. I’ve had my clothes and perfume swapping parties, but here in London I know few people who’d trade their clothes for mine.<br /><br />Therefore I have decided to cut down on spending instead. Below are the few key items I may buy for the next decade to come.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I may buy:</span><br /><br />One pair of sun glasses inexpensive enough not to cause mourning when (not if) I lose them<br /><br />Two pairs of jeans, since that’s all I really wear and my favourite pair is stuck at the drycleaners after I lost the mending receipt<br /><br />Tops, since the many machine washes of my few 3 tops is surely harmful to both the environment and my relationship to sound sensitive neighbours<br /><br />Socks, cause A will soon notice that I’m constantly wearing his (much too big ones, with the heels making unattractive little pouches right above the back of my sneakers)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I may absolutely not buy, at any cost, whatever the circumstances:</span><br /><br />Any more fun vintage party dresses in happy colours<br /><br />Any more LBD’s<br /><br />Any more nice shoes or boots, since with my feet they’re only a waste of time, money and cobbler talent<br /><br />Nice sunglasses like everyone in Holland Park wear, (but if I’m lucky and look properly I should be able to find a dropped pair on the ground)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Should not spend money on:</span><br /><br />Revolutionary Cinderella-effect haircut, since I should really have learned by now that they do not exist, especially not when offered by magazine in horrible make over seen by every acquaintance, ex and job contact in the country.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">May perhaps spend money on:</span><br />Environmentally immoral trip to Sweden for haircut and foot assessment by trusted professionals like Hasse.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">If failing to follow these rules, remember:</span><br /><br />ONLY FUNGI SURVIVE.<br /><br />Tell me your lists.<br /><br />Love<br /><br />-eemi gunerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09114047925830852894noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-84050980838876593492007-03-13T03:48:00.000-07:002007-03-13T03:54:31.614-07:00Or any other placeAnyone who's got a good idea for a quick escape from London for 2 people, please help.

Know any good hotels? We'll only be staying for one night.<br /><br />love<br /><br />-e, who will soon go see <a href="http://www.bvimovies.com/uk/becoming_jane/">Becoming Jane</a> to get in the spirit. But will an empire cut dress I will not. Did it ever look good on ANYONE? I might run over some dry grass though. Seems that's all they did back in the day, sometimes hurting their ankles.

I'm all for organic, hoping new ways of old school farming will help the world and our health. But I was not prepared for the level of organic thinking they have here in the UK. Mind you, i had been warned. In one sentence, my new friend Natasha summed it up:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">As soon as you get to London you're going to discover that the English middle classes are obsessed with organic food and willing to pay prices equivalent to a really good seat at the theatre for fair-traded organically produced green beans flown in from Kenya and if you asked me REALLY dubiously organic.<br /><br /></span>I had been warned. I should not have been surprised. Chewing on an organic spelt croissant (my apologies to French pastry-orthodox reades), Vanja correctly concluded that the treat was good but more bread than croissant.<br /><br />After a supper of organic salad, organic salami and organic blueberries (flown in environmentally unsound, from Chile! The horror!) I went to bed.<br /><br />I had a dream, like women my age often do, that I had another lovely baby.<br />The child was gorgeous and to top off my self-congratulatory middle classedness, she had a big brown liver spot on her back. At closer inspection, the spot read "100% organic". I bet not even Apple has that!<br /><br />what did you dream last night?<br />love<br />-e<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>emi gunerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09114047925830852894noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-79087272330335852542007-03-12T05:16:00.000-07:002007-03-12T05:17:29.543-07:00Everyday magic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmKOr4sZLeue4eZ6Oe3O9hmqI-1aBOvLFqeu27JVqnZJ7rv6oqJF5e2qgut76jb4VAV1bXqvUQ97C42FwMyFDngt6aTUa_gtrChrpEh_QyTwQNrc8l90S4sU96TTCfZCtxJO7/s1600-h/magic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmKOr4sZLeue4eZ6Oe3O9hmqI-1aBOvLFqeu27JVqnZJ7rv6oqJF5e2qgut76jb4VAV1bXqvUQ97C42FwMyFDngt6aTUa_gtrChrpEh_QyTwQNrc8l90S4sU96TTCfZCtxJO7/s400/magic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041010866587058946" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />How do Waitrose make them stop?
