Weekly news 13 Oct 2011: Scandi hello: Happy Danes, BunJour Mondays and a Hurda Gurda Murder

Hejsan people,

Who would have thought that on the same night, Denmark would beat Portugal and Sweden would beat Holland at football?  The two little football-(but relatively rubbish at it)-countries suddenly felt all cheerful again and hopes of European Cup Glory re-appeared.  Thoughts of glorious 1992, Schmeichel and even a few thoughts about Larsson crossed our minds.  Once again, we have hope.  England will play Sweden at Wembley in November.  Get ready.

Thor loves crisp bread but doesn’t like to show it
Our campaign is nearing completion.  The nice people at ICO Design are still tweaking – but we had two posters made for this week’s Scandi show.  Ladies and Gentlemen, the two first adverts feature our very own Seb and a great guy called Simon as Thor.  We still have much more up our sleeve, but here you can have a peek at the first posters to emerge.  Seb will be on display at the café all week, both in person and as a poster (minus the tight white shorts) http://xurl.at/5xq

Jan Meyer:  still alive?
It was an eventful weekend at the Scandinavia show at Earl’s Court.  It was a great chance to get together with heaps of other scandophiles and mingle a bit – and it was also a great opportunity to have a chit chat with two of the stars from The Killing (Series 1):  Sarah Lund and Jan Meyer. http://xurl.at/5xr
This week’s murder http://xurl.at/5xs

Bunday Monday and BunJour
With winter around the corner, we’re hotting this up a bit and we’re continuing our weekly Monday Funday Bunday – with a coffee and a freshly baked cinnamon bun for just £3.  Yeps, it’s on every Monday.  Because Monday is Funday is Bunday.  Just another manic  Bunday.  BunJour, Bun Jovi.  

Also in the shop this week:  it’s the end of the crayfish season and we’ve got a few boxes left.  Pop by in-store and pick up two boxes of crayfish for just £15.  Cheap as chips, but not actually chips.    Just lovely crayfish cooked in brine.  In store only, though – so pop by for some claws.

Inside Scandi Kitchen this week...
Jonas played football, Sebastian played ABBA on the stereo, Rebekka’s boyfriend played the villain in a film, our new girl plays the trombone and Victor is playing the field. 

A bit of this and that
