En helt (o)vanlig dag med Nina

Don't you just hate those articles about people where they follow the person during a normal day? They are so pretentious! X wakes up at five in the morning, she does Tai Chi for two hours, bakes some bread for her family's breakfast, puts the four kids on the bike to kindergarden, bikes the 15 kms to work and is there at 8. And so on... Although I doubt that they always live like that, it doesn't stop me from feeling slightly lazy and unambitious.

So just to make you feel the same I would like to give a quick recap about my day... Just any ordinary day in Nina's life...

The alarm goes off at 6.30 and by 7.10 I have biked to work. I am 20 minutes early to my Chinese lesson! (Cross in the roof!) As of last week my colleague Alice and I have classes in the morning. Our teacher Long Mei is amazing and I'm very keen so 1 1/2 hrs passes quickly. Did you know that Stockholm in Chinese (pinyin) is Sideyigeermo?

I spend my day at work trying to figure out the limit value according to different environmental instituitions of nonylphenol ethoxylate and other weird chemicals. (I guess this is why no one so far has written about MY ordinary day. Deh deh!) But I actually also discussed our new collection for intense exercise with a cool new anti-odour function (fully sustainable and certified of course).

After work I bike through the pouring rain to my singing lesson. I absolutely love it! One hour of Do re mi and endorphines are up even though sugar is low. So meeting up with Gustav for dinner at some little restaurant. I'm sick of rice but I stick to my risotto anyway. At 20.45 our 90 minutes hot yoga class starts. Hot as in 40 degrees in the class room! A few mental pep talks with myself along the way and I stumble out 90 minutes later, proud that I didn't faint. On the way back home on the bike, I see a woman selling cats in cages. The same kind of cages they sell chickens in. I conclude that if I were to try to buy one, she would probably give it to me in a bag, neatly chopped up. I decide not to. Home at 10.56 pm and before midnight I will post today's post on my blog...
