Vacay = empty desks at the office

July is high season for lazy days at the beach, rosé wine, bbq extravaganzas…and summer sales. At least here in Sweden. In other words: it’s vacay heyday and we who keep things running at the office are easily counted. Not that we turn a glass of rosé down AW, but the office is strangely silent and I would love to say that the mice dance on the desks in the absence of the cat, but there is unfortunately not a lot of truth to that. Hey you out there, anybody else bringing home the bacon in the peak of summer?

Strangely empty BB marketing department. My desk is the messy one with a red jacket in the background.

BB House Party in Berlin

You know, I told you earlier that BB Germany was throwing a house party for this girl that won the whole works in a competition: she got to invite 200 of her best friends to her own apartment, where we arranged with DJ:s, wardrobe people, bar tenders and drinks, a bouncer, a photographer, cleaning up after …and a pair of BBs to all guests, that had to wear a pair of BBs to come in. It was a hot summer night in Berlin and with 200 people in an apartment of 60sqm, things tend to get hot. Take part of a very special night here below. And let me in on what you think of the concept! :)

All guests got changed into BBs before entering the apt.

Berlin, a true European city

Have you ever been to Berlin? If not, like me, you would be truly amazed by this cool city. Unfortunately, the image tool for this blog is not responding this evening, so te pics I took earlier this pm to show you will have to wait. Instead, my verbal envisagememt will have to do. It’s after nine pm and the digital thermometer at the restaurant (called Marx!) where I just had dinner tells me it’s 33 degrees out here. I’m sitting in a deck chair, listening to two south american ladies speaking Spanish next to me. One of them has a frosty glass of something rose coloured that I am very envious of. The Jamaican jerk chicken is still makes a burning sensation in my mouth - 15 minutes after I had it. The whole of Berlin smells like flowers. In short: things could be worse. Soon, I shall find myself in an apartment not far from here, where Björn Borg Germany is arranging a party at a girl’s home. Essentially, she won a party in a competition and seems to have invited 200 of her best friends to her 60sqm big apartment. I have a feeling it can turn out to be a pretty interesting evening. I brought my camera, so if the image tool allows, I’ll update you on the whole thing tomorrow. Happy Friday!
