THE SHEER SWEATER, THE BIRTHDAY DINNER, AND THE SURPRISE OUTSIDE MY DOOR

Have you ever opened a package that turned your entire day into a performance?

In today’s vlog, the theatre of life unfolds in black sheer fabric, birthday rituals, forgotten restaurant names, and the small miracles of packages and people returning home.

✨ The Story Unfolds
The day begins at the theatre, my temple of work and wonder. Waiting for me: a package. Inside — a black sheer sweater, transparent and utterly decadent. The kind of garment that whispers secrets and demands attention. Inspired by Joanna Lumley’s 1960s modeling wisdom — always look excited — I transform the theatre corridor into a runway. Style, darling, is always performance.

After the curtain falls on work, I mount my bike 🚴‍♂️ and ride to Söder. There, I am to meet my dear friend Ulf, though the name of the restaurant escapes me. Ulf and I met in the mid-80s at Teaterverkstan, where young actors dreamed themselves into being. He is more than a friend — he is history, laughter, continuity.

Today, we celebrate his birthday 🎂. I arrive with gifts: a Le Creuset wine cooler 🍷 and water bottle 💧 — elegance and utility combined. Yet the day is tinged with worry: Ulf is preparing for stomach surgery. He must quit smoking, but smoke still lingers in his life. It is both poignant and maddening. Finally, the restaurant name comes to me: DEMI.

✨ Life’s Unexpected Extras
On my way home, the evening brings more drama. At COOP 🛒, I collect three packages: two from VINTED 📦, one from SELLPY 📦📦 with nine peculiar treasures inside. Each parcel is its own narrative, its own stage. And then — as if orchestrated by fate — I spot Mattias on a scooter 🛵. Once gone from Stockholm for the sake of his mental health, he now returns, newly anchored in the same block as I. A reunion, casual and magnificent.

When I finally reach my door — yet another package awaits. Life, my dear, is nothing if not a sequence of surprises.
