Isn't this bloody holiday over soon??
I wont be able to eat properly for weeks to come after this!

National Encyclopedia

This evening ended in a long session of playing NE-spelet. There were originally four contestants divided into two teams; as it were youth seemed to differ between the teams hence the older team were elegantly referred to as team Experience... and to avoid pressing the somewhat obvious subject futher (as well as realizing it was our lord and ladie of the house we were adressing) the younger team decided to go on another theme and call us team Academic. So tonight was the big night to find a true answer to the ever puzzling question of which really is most useful; experience or education. The latter - as it turned out. However the thrill of the turns were never ending! Oh - the nerves! It for long looked as though it really was experience that would take the race, but alas! With five subjects down team Academic took an amazing turn and did a rapid catch up and eventually gracefully WON!!

Toothbrush issues.

I just sat and wrote Fio the longest email about me - and about toothbrushes.
Now I'm just about to go and tidy up in my toothbrush holder.

The issues concerning my electrical toothbrush however is something completely different. And all needs very different adressings. I'm approaching it with caution.

Fio I absolutely and deeply love you. And thank you. For being you, and for laughing at me when I'm being silly.

Boxing day

Had the laziest sleep in in my big cosy bed! Sooo lovely. I figured it is after all xmas-break so that makes one entitled to it.
Now its almost time to head for work. Still has mums car to my disposal which is nice when I'm working late.
Still havn't read all the books I wanted for this holiday.. AND I got some brand new ones! Got The Divina Commedia in three volumes (from Dante of course, who else) written in the original lyric form and in vulgar latin (the work that came to be viewed as the first written in early italian and not longer latin) and translations in english. These books however do require me to refresh my latin a bit. Can't wait to start though! Yeah yeah, I know how it sounds....


Memoria for boxing day... Three years since the tsunami hit.

23rd of December

The night before christmas eve! I'm at Granddad's in what's almost come to be a xmas tradition; me and my brother comes here on the night before, eat pizza (we'll be fed up with that xmas food soon enough!) and chill out. It's nice. Xmas is usually madly hectic as it is, so the tranquility at my granddad's is very welcome. I guess this is my own little haven.
Hmm... readin what I just wrote I felt compelled to do a correction. This is indeed a tranquil and peaceful place - with one red, furry and evil little exception... You know Shrek's little companion Puss in Boots? Well imagine him but instead of the similarities with Zorro we'd haveto replace him with... uhm... Don Corleone, I'd say.

I will update this soon! I promise!

thanks for the patiens.

malin

Amazing...

Yeah, it was great fun last night. Magnus Betnér was as fun as ever, talkin about politics, media and parenting. Afterwards me and little brother went to BK and sat there and chatted a bit. All in all a very good day. Oh, did give him somewhat belated bday gift aswell. He liked though, which is most inportant...

For those of you who calls yourselfs my friends; today is not a good day. I out on my big cosy sweater and feel like nothing else but curling up in a little heap in my sofa. So dont socialise today, if its something important, then sure, but otherwise id really recommend it to wait...

Inget är heligt

Inget är heligt
Cynisicm, sarkasm and aggressiv bitterness for a whole evening.
Can it be better?

There... feelin better - good, even. Things feel... wavey, to find the best word...
But I have my tea. I like my tea. It makes me feel comfortable, and calm.. People like calm.. We're supposed to be calm.. and sensible. I'm still working on the sensible part. Although I'm feeling that it's maybe not my strong part...

Okay so right now - at this very moment, things really suck. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even after my next cup of tea. But now, it does. Oh crap..

intercultural bollocks

I really really don't like a task I have to do untill friday. It's still my bloody intercultural communications task. Would it be that we were to write an essay bout it, fine! No probs! I could go on for pages yappin on about cultural and social aspects and subjective interpretations. But noooooooooo... We're only supposed to do an oral presentation. fukfukfukk.
I'm not my best mood.... grrr.....

I passed!

Pheeeew!!

results back soon

Oh, I'll be getting my results back from my exam. It was all match, calculations and statistics. In other words not at all my kind of subjects... So keep your fingers crossed. Or more likely promise you'll love me just as much even if I don't pass... ok?

07-11-04

My tv:s still not co-operating.. I really don't feel like doin my intercultural communications homework!
That's about it, that was the worst part... Other than that, I really don't have much to complain about. I've yet again re-disovered my love for Calvin and Hobbes and once again have their wisdom illuminating my days. AND I found out just yesterday that I'm getting a new cousin by April. :D This spring is gonna be absolutely amazing! So guess I can live with a crappy tv reception...
Oh, and my orchid that my brother gave me a few months ago is about to bloom again....

Tv failure at my place

I've just noticed that my tv:s breaking down. I'm normally not the person who spends alot of time infront of it, but it's one of those things that should just work around the house, like internet, phones, lights and water... And it bugs me since I'm in no financial place for a electronical shopping spree.

Evening at Granddad's

Started as a really lazy sunday today, partly cause of interrupted sleep, partly cause I know I have my books constantly looking accusingly at me.
I'll be home trying to get some studies done for another hour or two, then I'll stroll over to Granddad's and spend my evening there. It's nice. And regrettably it happens not nearly as often as it should.. And I'll get some time to play with my cat again (even though it's mostly just me who still enjoys our games, he merely play along to keep my happy).

On call hours between 1 o'clock till 5 o'clock every weekend..

I know. I could easily just turn off my phone if I wanted sleep for a whole night through. But I don't. I've told people that my phone's always on, and it is. And I always answer - no matter the time. This has rendered me quite a few nightly calls from friends being out, or coming home from a night out. When they're happy, when they're sad.
Admittedly I might havn't sounded all peachy every time. My mood does get affected a bit when I get woken up - as I'm sure some have noticed. Not many people like gettin woken up.
But still, I'll keep my phone switched on anyway. It's nice to know that my friends know I'm there whenever they need it. And I much prefer it that they call me and wakes me up instead of sittin home being sad and feeling blue. That's no time to feel lonely.

Noted though; I still like sleeping, so I don't wake up too easily. I'll always answer my phone when it rings, though it's not likely I'll wake up by a mere text. Call me if you got something on your mind.

Dante moves in

My brother's is in sugery today! Been nervous all day. Know it's nothing too serious, but can't help to worry a but anyway. I'll head straight to the hospital after school to see him. Then Grandma will pick us up and drive us to my place. Dante will be stayin at mine for a while. Good for him to have someone close by the first few days after surgery. And being his older sister it's my job to look after him. Good thing hes on drugs though, I live in a small flat as it is, and it's not getting any bigger when you're two living there...

Lots to do!

This day have been absolutely packed! Been constanly busy. Got home and are gettin to bed straight away.
Got up early to be in school a while before class starts so I had time to get some more work done. Had class between 12.30-15.30 then straight off to work! Worked at Birger Jarl's gatan between 16-22. Missed the footy aswell!! Though from what I've heard so far it was no greater loss. Granddad, the darling he is, knew that Id wanted to see it, so he kept sending me match updates on texts to my phone. Bless him!
Oh, and realised it's Thomas birthday today aswell! Bugger, sent a txt to say congrats and apologized it came so late. Ahwell, I'll visit him soon anyway, will congrat him then.

Sundaytrip to Uppsala with my mates

Woke up at Anna's after a night out. Great fun last night! We were at Fenix celebrating Stefans birthday. Anna and I went to check out Högbergs across the street, but quickly realised our misstake and went back. Ppl in there couldn't seriously been over 17 any of them.
After waking Anna up with a cup of tea I got home just in time for a quick shower and a change of clothes then Fio was in her car waiting for me outside. Then the two of us embarked on a little roadtrip up to Uppsala. Don't think Fio considered me the most helpful co-driver at the time though, but tried my best. Uppsala is no place for cars though, as Fio soon were to discover..
When we arrived Nettan and Emil were already at Klara's. Them and Fio got the quick tour of the apartment. There is no long one, it's a small apartment.. Then the five of us went out for a shoppingtour on the town. And don't feel too sorry for Emil being the only bloke. In fact he was the one at the end of the day having done the most shopping.
An exceptionally good thing about Uppsala is that their cafés are open till 22. Lovely. So after a long day we all parked us in very comfy chairs in a café called Linne's Café and just relaxed. Really enjoyable day spent with so many of my fav people! Was a bit tired on the way home though..

Every once in a while in your life things live up. You experience things or moments that you'll never forget. That's when life is. That's when we really live. For those times that'll stick by us later.

07-10-08

And today it's Micke's bday!! Congrats my friend!
Been alot of bdays lately...

Feels like my weeks has barely time to start before the scheduel's full!
Last week was hectic but great fun!

07-10-03

Mum phoned and woke me up this morning to say that my childhood friend Marlené just had a son! Her second baby, and lovely little Julia's younger brother. Can't wait to meet him, it's gonna be great.

Exams

Today it was exam, which I'm afraid I didn't do too well on. Stupidly enough it wasn't to do with not studyin enough, it was just nerves. Silly thing. But oh well. New days, new exams awaits ahead...
Had a nice time afterwards though, we classmates went out for dinner and a few pints. Some good laughs.

07-09-29

Congratulations Fio!
Happy bday my dear friend, and I'll see you more tonight!

Also spent this day together with my mum and sis for lunch. Then met up with Dante, Tom and Emelie and the four of us went shoppin in IKEA. Seems like there's always stuff you need! Will things ever get done and finished around my place?

07-09-27

Dennis' bday! AND Ryan's!
Hope you two have the best day.

Me, I'm goin to Uppsala today after school to check out Klara's new place. Nice to see her again, and it'll be fun see how she lives her life these days.

We're Students. And not afraid to use it!

Now after a little while into it, I can really see why some people view students as a different lifeform. We have derranged sleeping patterns, we feed from a completley different nutrition base (i e it's not nutritionally based at all - doesn't matter how healthy the food is, if it's expensive it's out. Noodles however is a very important cornerstone), we talk strange - and usually total jidderish for others - and we seem to view ourself as a minority group in Sweden, therefore entitled to benefits such as discounts. And are apalled when companies have the audacity to refuse student discounts. No wonder society wants to keep us all confined in student dorms. At least then they know were we're at. And the supermarkets knows where to build another store since there's a solid ant trail between them and the dorms..

Week planned ahead.

I havnt really had much time left over for blogging lately. And probably won't much the coming week either. Have an exam next week, so most of my focus will be on that. And the little time I feel I can spare I've already booked solid.

Tomorrow I'll meet up Anna for a powerwalk, then we'll get ready for school, have lunch. Then it's Business Economics between 13-15. After that I'm meetin up Micke for a fika. Back home again to do homework!
Wednesday I'll have class between 12.30 - 15.30. Today Hanna'll come back home (maybe she'll need some help at home, unpacking or something. She's not supposed to do all of that stuff for helself yet!). Then hopefully I'll have time for some dinner, then it's exercise in the evening. Then sleep!! Early start next day!
Thursday. (Ryan's and Dennis' Bday!!) School between 8.30 - 12.30 and study after it. Then I'm taking the train to Uppsala to see Klara's new flat and help her unpack. I'll stay the night there. Check out the town for a little while on friday, then have lunch with Klara before I head back to Stockholm. By now it's already weekend and all devoted for studies. Next week is approaching with frightening pace! Saturday evening I'll be celebrating my lovely darling Fio who's bday's today. Oohh, cake! ;)
Sunday. Don't call me! I'm supposed to be busy!

Monday

After school today me and Anna decided to have some sushi for lunch. Talked and laughed all way through it, then continued with some shopping.
We got as homework from our course in intercultural communication to overhear conversations (though no eavesdropping, morals to judge) just to reflect over what it is people really have conversations about. What have you talked about today?

Sunday: Birthday party

My little sister turned 7 this friday, so today she's having her birthday party. Mum asked me to come earlier to start prep. I'm reckon kinda like in war times - lookin over the food supply, armour and weaponry to be able hold them off in hope to finally be able to walk away alive - and sane. My mum thinks I'm a bit dramatic, I don't. It's a heap full of 7yrs old kids. They're mean, spoiled, malicious and absolute ruthless at that age.
As you see I'm most anxious to celebrate another family happening.... or maybe not so much. If I'm lucky I'll get hold of my brother and get him to come over as well. But seeing as he was out drunk last nite and have about as high opinion of 7yrs bday party as me, the chances feel a bit diminished. Damnit.
Better go and and get my helmet, sheild and sword.

Thursday

Hanna's feelin a bit better, after she got back home to her flat.
I had just a course in international marketing today. After that me and my classmate Anna went for some shopping and chatted away. When I'd got hold of new shoes and a top I was content and went to see Hanna. I'd told her I'd come by. She was going back home to Gislaved to her family and I said I'd come and help her pack. It's not so easy for her to do stuff since she's not supposed to walk too much, not bend and def not lift anything. After we had packed everythng and were ready to go I accopanied her in to the car she were gonna go in, to make sure the took it slowly and to help her carry (she didn't of course, I did).
After I'd said bye to Hanna I went to Mange, then he me, Erik and Kristin went to see the Simpson movie. I kno it's been going for ages, but I just havn't got round to seein it bfore. Though it was a good laugh!

After that there was some revelations about my self on the way home. Supringsing to me. Logically myself is of the course the person I spend single most time with (kinda full time, I'd say) - and still there are still things I've never ever noticed that are so obvious to other people. I mean I wouldn't go so far as thinkin I'd have any full objective picture of myself, and especially since viewing is mostly a subjective hobby this always puts a twist on it, but I thought to have a decent image at least. Now I have some new facts and angles to try and fit in.

Wednesday: Hanna's ill

Had been trying to reach Hanna all day yesterday and were starting to get worried. Then she called during my class, saying she'd been at the hospital. She'd been havin massive ache in her stomach, and at the hospital it turned out that she needed to have her appendix removed immediately. When she phoned me she'd just got back home again. My class finished half an hour later so I went to Hanna's to tend to our little sickling. So after cooking her dinner, making sure she had breakfast and lunch for the next day and bringing her some sweeties and flowers for cheering up, we chatted and watched some telly together. Then Mike came with some more flowers and had some dinner. The three of us spent some time hangin out and passing the sweetiebowl back and forth (no lollies in it! strange those kiwis..) before I went back home. Was no happy with Hanna had to be at the hospital all alone with no time to call anyone, but when she got home I knew she felt a bit better again. Thats good. Now it's just a matter of trying to make her stay still and not move too much and lift things. Easier that it sounds, it'll be my main goal for tomorrow.

An afternoon with my cousin Emil

Everyone, meet my cousin! This is the charming young man around which most of my attention were circling this sunday. Me and both of my two siblings spent the day with our uncle, aunt and lovely little Emil. He's the youngest of ,my cousins and one I have spent far to little time with! Think his parents appreciated this afternoon as a little break from keeping a constant watching eye since all of us three cousins present were all enjoying to spend time with the little one.
I mean, look at him! He's adorable!
We all had a lovely day. We actually went touristing, took a boattrip around Djurgården. Wich gave me some small chanses to improve my tragicly poor geography knowledge. And of course I had Dante next to me as a personal guide to tell me anecdotes about the historical Stockholm and some very (verly) lame jokes on the subject as well. Bless.

Katten

Today this fury ball of malice and arrogance is officially 9 years old. Not that it becomes him the slightest. But I like makin a fuss about my cat. Not because I'm much prone to pampering, cause I'm really not, but because he thinks it's very undignifying for him to be cuddled. Like all cats he's a natural at twisted mindgames, so even if he - of course - passionately dispies being held like a baby or cuddled he always greets me by placing himself right infront of me, knowing I always picks him up to greet - and cuddle - him so he can show how he dislikes it. This all is perfect logic for a cat.

Late night

Saturday evening and I'm lazily lyin in my sofa listening to music and hearing the rain fall on the windowsill. And I know exactly what I'd wanna be doing now, what I used to when I lived with my grandad and had his car. Just drive. For hours. And it was great. Nothing but driving, music and my own thoughts.
Of all I can think of right now, that'd suit prefectly.

Cosmic peace...

Every person have their own sets of qualities. Some subjectivly valued, other more or less objectively. Qualities that can be at times taken to an extent. This person here for example has a light approach to things, likes a laugh and have a tendence of bein just a bit mischevious at times. Usually this works out well for me. Although sometimes it does put me in trouble. These qualities for instance doesn't match to well with cermonial times or deep, serious moments..
In other words, I'll be the one that can't for the life of me keep quiet in a church or says something totally out of place. Today I went to a yoga session. But instead of the usual poweryoga on mondays it was today a new instructor holding a class in hathaya yoga. Not at all the same. I managed to come through the session with just some inapropriate crackin of my knuckles they way people hate when we were supposed to 'be rid our bodies of negative energies'. But when she eventually asked us to reach inside ourself, free our mind from our physical body and strive for cosmic peace, I was ready to cave in! Bloody hell. Oh, didn't mention I have streak of cynisism, hint of sarcasm and passion for irony..?
All in all I don't think that session was really suited for me. Or me for it. If I was cosmic peace there are a number of chemical substances that would sort that out in an instance. And last time I checked, as long as attaining balance and gettin rid of negative energies goes, it's nothing a good shag won't help.

Rainy tuesday

Fuckin hell it rained while I was tryin to make may way back home from school! HA! This was hardcore raining! Awesome!! Not some potzy drizzlin the common umbrella would sort out. For those sods who tried that one it just ended up keepin only their head (somewhat) dry, since the water either ricochetted back up after it hit the ground or it blew in sideways.
There's always these people runnin with a newspaper over their head. I've been wondering about those since this tactic have some obvious faults right from the start; paper doesn't cooperate well with water for starters - the pages folds quite quickly. Then for some even more bizarre reason these people also fold the paper which consequently means it can cover a smaller area. If this idea originally was intended as a emergency measure to keep the rain off shouldn't they instead fold out the newspaper? This would mean a smaller army of minature tents-shaped news papers would run around the streets in the rain. hum....
This is the reason for whenever it's rainin hard outside I park myself in a café sittin by the window and watchin the people run by outside..

Monday

Finally all those full-time serious accouting students in my class got something to think about. We had a new class today that's straight up my alley; intercultural communication. After my language and liguistic studies this is brilliant. Although felt that in my class the enthusiasm wasn't as broadly chared. Most of them actually like faffin about with debit and credit and thinks this sounds very vauge and not very concrete. Which is totally correct, only thing theyre missin is that that is the whole point. Discussin subjective impressions is something I can gladly discuss for hours. Especially if it's counting as a class and it keeps me a little while longer from returning to debit and credit again.
With this read, one might wonder why the fuck I'm readin this then. Haha, well who knows. It seems like a good thing at the time. And to be honest I do actually like it, although I'm very aware that it's not closest to me. But how fun would it be just doin our own thing all of the time...

Lazy sunday

In true spirit of a sunday nothing really useful got done. Breakfast was held somewhere between 10 and 14 in bed lazily watchin sports and film, and consisted of newly baked bread and then topped that off with sweets.
Dont leave much to complain about...

Roadtrip summarize

Awesome roadtrip! Which of course was all according to plans..
We had a hysterically funny time, full of music (with pre-composed party tunes - it can never go wrong!) laughter and fun times. We laughed our way out of Stockholm (damn southern suburbs - go north, yeay!) and sang our way down to Gislaved. Arrived fashionably late as ladies always does...
Saturday was our dear Hanna's 23rd bday (ha! same age!) and beside pressies and song we spent it on one of our other natural talents - shopping! We extended our roadtrip a bit and drove to Ullared for the day and arrived back home again with four new bags full of shopping. Who'd have thought, eh?
On our last day we could only stay till lunch before headin back to the royal capital of our charmin country. And did so with much success I must say; nor rain or a fuckinshitloadsof cars could dampen our spirits. We even made some new friends in the car-que.
All in all; major sucess. Got to be done again!
Only thing that could be said against us could be that we took too few pictures to show off our good time and charmin characters... ;)

My leaving from work

Last day at work has come and gone. As customary - I got a leaving present from my co-workers and a flower. It was - well, it felt kinda customary the whole thing. Sure, I'll miss most of them, and they me, but I've never been much for those 'cermonial' thingies.

But of course theres always people that in some, sometimes small - but still - ways makes an impression on you. Ivar for one did, who also happened to be the gentleman buyin me flowers for my leaving. That warmed.

Now I'm about to start the next step and am really lookin forward to it.

It rained - and I were out.

As I usually do when I finish early, I decided to walk home from work today. The route I take takes about an hour and it's a nice walk. The weather didn't look that bad when I left. And truth to be told, lookin at the clouds it never looked that bad - still they somehow still managed to accumulate a rather vast amount of water. So - about 7 minutes or so later, thanks to some very incontinent clouds I was as soaked as a drenched kitten.

I've never really had anything against rain. In fact I actually rather enjoy a rainy day... sitting at home readin a good book. I'm also the kind of person that do not own an umbrella. This has generated suprisingly many discussions and people seem to refuse to leave my life umbrella-free. I reason as thus; when it rains I'n not out, ergo; I don't need an umbrella. Following this statement there's always complaints about that line of argument lacks in reason - and it does.

This is because I rarely trust in reason- it is for rational and sensible people. I much prefer acting on emotions and impulses, since I find them much more entertaining. The small amount of reason I do possess I save for some good advices every now and then. Although I wouldn't recomend you to trust that my advices are always sensible - far from it. It's more likely I'll incite to something with more interesting prospects..

To sum it all up. umbrellas are, I'm sure, to good use for some, sensible people who actually also have them when needed (which coincidentally means they probably carries around with the stupid things uncountable times all in vain). But when umbrellas come into the life of Alfie, they're of the smaller size and their only real use is makin the drink look a bit more like something from Sällskapsresan.

Saturday. Weekend!

There's a natural dislike in working weekends. It's an unnatural thing to do. Even goes against a few religious beliefs as well. Shame I don't have any of those then. Weekends should be cherished and enjoyed properly as the miniture-holidays they are. Not faff about with laundry or summat else ridiculously time wasting, but to soak in any eventual sun, read a book, enjoy an evening in good company and generally enjoy the freedom of not needing to answer any calls. That does not - of course - concern Fio who is already excellent in some aspects here... (When I call you, I've got summat to say. So pick up the goddam phone!)
Enjoy your weekends and I'll go and make me some tea.

oh, and yeah, in case you were wondering - I'm working tomorrow as well. just great...

Thursday

In the life accordin to Alfie there's a few things that can be concluded;
* it was Nadias last day at work today before movin to Skåne, and Im gonna miss her immensley in my everyday life.
* Telenor sucks. They absolutely wont stop sendin Hanna's mail here. Even after several phonecalls informing that any Ms Kruse does no longer live on this adress.
* I have now only 6 days left at work and am startin to get nervous about goin back to school.
* I want my brother to come back home from Gotland. Not because I've missed him that much, just so the drunken git will stop callin me in the dead of the night! Gah.



Now I'll be off to see hopefully all three of my lovely ladies, Nettan Fio and Klara. Despite living fairly close all three we rarely seem to synchronise all our scheduels that very often.

Tuesday

For the first time of this year I went in the water. Not just toedippin this time. :) The weather was brilliant, so me and Mange met up with a few of his friends and we all went to the beach. Can't belive the weather this summer, but it was nice finally havin a great day out enjoyin it!

After some dinner and a film, a round of evening Trivial Pursuit started. Good fun, but eventually at 1 o'clock no one was longer as into it so we called it a night. 3 hours of tp does help falling asleep though...

Monday

When me and Nadia got off work we went to Sundbyberg to pay a visit to our tattoo artist. I needed to ask Fabbe's opinion about my latest. He told me to come back friday, either he'd fill it in then or scheduel a new time for it. Worth doin so it'll look good, but stull can't say I look forward to it too much. The tat on the wrist, the turtle, didn't hurt so much doin at all. But afterward... uh.
After we'd been there we went and had a sandwich at a charmin little café before headin back home again to Jakan. Just got time to take a shower before headin into town. Met up with Mange and (as my brother says) Lule-Mange to see the latest Harry Potter (the Order of the Phoenix). Not suprisingly it felt like it would've needed to be at least twice as long to include everything that's in the book. So it felt like the movie only vaguely brushed by everything. A bit dissapointing, but expected. But it was a nice evening. After the movie we went to McDonald's for a bite and to talk about the film.

Stockholms marathon a la Hanna & Malin

Us girls had a brunch date on sunday morning at 11. Met up at Medborgarplatsen we straight away headed for my fav café on Söder, Blå Lotus. When we'd had our proper brunch and felt full, we decided to walk though Söder. Eventually we got to Old Town where we had a coke and a dessert. We sat there for quite a while, talkin, catchin up and just enjoyin a beautiful day. Took the tourist route to Drottninggatan, maybe did some shopping (well, we were there anyway, right?). We had dinner at Jensen's and finished off our lovely day out with a beer in Kungsträdgården. Enjoyin the last hour of sun, sitting and talkin to one of my dearest friends. That's one of those moments when life is just as it should be. Grand.

saturday

Saturday and I was working. :(
Came home to a kitchen that looks as has served as battlefield for some gerilla warfare organisation. Which quickly led me to the conclusion that I wasn't cookin dinner tonight. Or tomorrow either for that matter.
Luckilly for me, Putte had decided to buy me dinner. Pizza, it turned out. Not too suprisingly. Micke and Klara also came over. Watched Hoodwinked. Not as good as could've been, felt a bit slow in the turns.
Hoped for a relatively early evening when they all left at midnight. But that wasn't really how it turned out after all. Niklas' call woke me up at 1, just at I slept as best. He needed a place to crash, so it was just for me to go up and make the sofa. Then a bit later Mange called, although that I knew he was going to. And even though it was 3 in the morning, it was nice.
Since I had a date the following day, I unfortunately woke the somewhat slightly hungover Niklas as I was gettin ready. Had maybe not got all the sleep I would've needed, but hey.

Desperate housewife!

Since I'd shamefully forgotten my dear friend Niklas' 20th bday measures needed to be taken. As an apology I invited him over and decided to make him a nice dinner. And since remembering how our last and only apptempt in cookin a dinner together ended in a wooden spoon-battle, I decided to go at it alone.
Knowin that askin him for what he'd like wouldn't help much (Oh, some roadkill'll be fine by me..) I didn't.
Since I have a problem with doin things moderate, I ended up cookin a fullblown three-course fancy table dinner. Was speakin to Hanna on the phone while doin my food shoppin (god, I love my handsfree) and decided they should join in as well! The more the merrier. All of a sudden the numbers of dinnerguests had drastically increased. But referring back to my earlier statement of not bein able of doin things in a small scale, we eventually ended up with enough left overs for a lunch to ne the next day at work.

The dinner was a success and we had a brilliant evening! All good laughs and a really good time. Niklas suprised us all with his good english, Mike was very complimentary of my cooking (really nice lad! ) and Hanna and I got some time to catch up again. I also got a few pressies that Hanna'd brought back from England to me :) Amazing how glad you can be for something worth 50 p. at Asda's!

Despite the odds I'd managed it!

Starters: Feta-cheese salad with tomatoes and zucchini

Maincourse: Oven roasted garlic-entrecôte served with rosmary potatoe wedges and mixed rootvegetables.

Dessert: Raspberry and elder flower pie with custard

I'll tell ya, the cleaning up part was a bitch!!!
