Björkhagen

What's in Bjorkhagen to see and the answer is 'not a lot' but because I ask Chat GPT for suggestions about going around Stockholm then I end up going to some of these no-end places with nothing there such as this one. And then I saw the lady who was at the ticket booth at the subway station and she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life with amazing blue eyes and that is saying something when we're in a country full of blue eyes. It was then when I was lamenting to her about my crappy British bank card which only works when it wants to, I was took within that minute in my mind to an alternative universe. Where I was living in Bjorkhagen and commuting to Stockholm and I see her every morning! And I make some silly joke about snow and she laughs and I get my ticket and run up to the platform to catch my train to work whilst whistling to Stevie Wonder's 'Isn't she lovely'. It was then my mind snaps out of it and I land back into planet reality because that is never going to be my future, my future is something else outside of Sweden but for that minute, I smiled to myself and was happy and that even the most minute of stories have a beginning, a middle and an end (and a happy one at that). As Jake Jackson said in Robert McLiam Wilson's brilliant novel 'Eureka Street' "All stories are love stories". I ran up to the platform for my train to Slussen singing 'Isn't she lovely' and I remembered all the words as well! Haven't sung that song for a long long time.

Vad finns det att se i Björkhagen och svaret är "inte mycket" men eftersom jag frågar Chat GPT om förslag på hur man kan resa runt i Stockholm så hamnar jag på några av dessa oändliga platser utan något där, som den här. …

Björkhagen är ett väldigt mysigt område, här finns både närhet till skog/natur, idrottsplats, små butiker och helt klart en av Stockholms bästa thaimatsrestauranger med den godaste tofun jag ätit. Jag mer eller mindre bodde här en tid. Om din preferens är innerstan så är den inte långt borta.
