Stockholm - Day Two again

After a brief break at home we headed out to dinner at the little film studios complex near Brett’s apartment, where they have a very good restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient and the food was fine. We had a little wine with our meal and a delightful evening.

A lot of the discussion was based around the future; our lease is up in another nine months so if we want to buy a place, we need to start thinking about it now. At the same time though I was moaning about becoming a desk jockey for the rest of my life and buying a house seemed to add weight to that idea. It would be the ultimate settling down into suburbia; may as well nail the coffin shut now! We talked about instead selling up and using the money and our savings to go off backpacking around the world together. In theory it sounds like a great idea and I would love to do it, but there are practical drawbacks. The possibility of Brett seeking a posting to Beijing came up as a kind of taster, to see how we enjoyed the experience. Maybe we will, maybe we won’t. We need to think this through some more I think.
