This morning I visited my local newspaper in Ystad.
The paper, Ystads Allehanda, is the leading newspaper in the region that I am from, Österlen in the region Scania (Skåne) in the South of Sweden.
I met with a friemd of line sports journalist Jan Ohlsson. Itbis always a pleasure to talk sports with a passionate person like Jan.
It was great to see the inside of the Newspaper I grow up with. I remember how my grandfather and father always were reading Ystads Allehanda. I did too. Especially the local sports news. To check how my favourite clubs were doing.
The business of news, especially the printed news papers, are going through a major transformation and change due to the Internet developments over the last decade.
But as they say, the news is always the news. Or as Mark Knopfler in Dire Straits once wrote,
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He’s too fast to stop
He take it over the top
He make a line in the news.

The choice for me is clear. It has always been clear. Reality has to be the basis for all promises. I always keep my promisies.
A promise is a contract, you honor contracts – as a person you only have your word. The accountability of a promise is the voice of your charachter.
There are a lot of great TV shows right now. I really like shows, like e.g. Game of Thrones, The Night Of, Vikings, Black Sails, Narcos, Downtown Abbey and my nee favourite show, Peaky Blinders.
Peaky Blinders is a BBC television crime drama with Cilian Murphy as the Birmingham gang leader Tommy Shelby. It is based upon the exploits of the Peaky Blinders gang, operating in Birmingham, England during the aftermath of the First World War. The series was created by Steven Knight.
Paul Anderson is fantastic as the older brother Arthur Shelby and Tom Hardy is doing an overplaying masterpiece role worthy of John Malkowitz, as gang rival leader Alfie Solomons.
Don’t miss this show with three seasons so far.
