Firstly let me say a few words to Annika, who if you follow the previous blog takes me to task for not writing more, and points out the Swedish foreign minister blogs five times a day! I remember the days when people use to boast about being able to do something five times a night instead!

You’re right Annika, I should write more often and I will write more often… when I have something useful to say. I don’t hold with the blogging mentality that just because my brain has sputtered and come up with some thought, I ought to bore you with it ad nauseum. You are busy enough without reading my random meanderings on whether my boiled egg was suitably runny for the dippy soldiers this morning.

There is one other thought, and I know it’s a heresy to suggest anything bad about blogging, but here goes. Doesn’t anyone find it strange that the Swedish foreign minister has the time to blog five times a day? I mean, either the blog isn’t truly his (and is written by advisers) or he is spending so much time writing it that the Swedish people might legitimately say he should spend more time on foreign policy matters. Which is it?
