Benrik diaries - Ice-cream country

Yesterday I got the question about where one could find the ice-cream country.
And immediately I thought "Greenland!" It's pretty cold there hence it would be a good place to keep lots of ice-cream.
But on the other hand… when I thought about it again and it would be kind of stupid to have the ice-cream country there wouldn't it?
No one would appreciate it…
It would have more effect if it where to be found close to Tonga or in the West Indies maybe.

I’ve wigled my toes … I hope that was what I was supposed to do.
Also I saved several ants simply by not doing any digging today. To dig up an ant only to save it would be one step forward - one step back... Surely it would freeze to death before I got about saving it.

Benrik diaries - Death... front & back

Well... icy steps almost killed me this morning and made me speak to 3 strangers within 10 minutes.
1st the lady walking the icy steps besides me. I said "This is a matter of life or death" (now this isn't what I actually said. I said "Det här är förenat med livsfara" but since this is written in english I have to come up with something else - but the meaning is almost the same).
After surviving.. I became a social-animal and asked a stranger if I had missed the bus or not. Even tho' I knew I definitely had missed the bus.
"You just missed it" she said.
A couple of minutes later I informed the bus-driver that the door was open.
I guess I became overly social after the near-death-thing and had realized that I didn't want to die alone - trying to compensate and make new best friends all at once.

Well then I got to work and remebered after seeing an interview with Henrik (this morning) that I have to have that calander. It will keep me closer to life then death, right?
(I ordered the calander and found a link from the bookshops web-sight to this one.. and that's how I got here.)
