Tissue vows

What started out earlier today as some light shoppingplans with Hanna turned out eventually to not contain so much after all of shopping, rather just us. More or less. Somewhat disorganized as always we happily wandered around the shoppingstreets of Stockholm. Although we still didn't really end up buyin anything. When we realized that as the stores started to closed, Hanna slightly panicked and bought a soap dish (claiming she needed one). Not too supringsingly the stores we we're planning on going to did close before we got there. That sorta thing seem to happen to us alot. So we make the most of it, first we went and grabbed summat to eat then when they closed too (what a thing to do!), we decided that we still weren't quite ready with our chat post-shopping so we went for a glass of wine. (And didn't got id:d, yeay for us!)
So now I've decided to spend my day off tomorrow (yeay!) to do the shopping I didn't got done today (even though I did seem to spend some money nevertheless...).
We also wrote some new sacred vows on another set of tissues (We really ought to get those framed Hanna! It's hilarious. Well, at least to us it is..), which we of course will honour and keep. They came up whilst we were discussin something very very important this summer....

Roadtrip!!
The two of us girls have now thought out the brilliant plan that includes us, a lot of summery partymusic, sunshine (ordered!), a guarantee for laughs, a car, and the obligatory strawberries. Can't be anything other than a total and utter success. Malin and Hanna are going on a roadtrip back to GVD to do a favourite in re-run. This time without any trains. But - unfortunately - also without Robbie. Alas - you can never have it all. But bloody hell we're gonna have fun!


FUCKIN HELL

Maelstrom up ahead

You remember the tsunami on boxing day a few years ago?
Right now I'd be the marin biologist tryin to convince people that go and look at the fishes lyin on the beach isn't the best idea right about now. Although I don't speak thai. And the people clearly are more interested in the fishes.
That's me.
Could be sailin a small boat and have just discovered the maelstrom up ahead and am tryin ferociously to steer away wheras the rest of the lot are lookin at the beutiful formations in the water that it makes.
That's me.

God I'm stuffed!

Upp som en sol, ner som en pannkaka..

Upp som en sol, ner som en pannkaka.
Could say that. Slightly hungover from last night, have the obligatory feelings of shame and anguish and generally feel bruised and battered. Now after a long shower and a nice cuppa tea it's starting to feel better.
But it was good fun last night. Joel came and picked me up in his new Camaro after work and drove to Jonta's. All good friends so was of course a good time.

Hanna's on her way over, then we'll spend an evening in the sofa and eating tacos. Lovely!
Just right for today.

Midsummer!

Woke up at an unearthly hour, but with a strawberrie and ice cream breakfast and nice company, it wasn't too bad after all.

Got a text from mum sayin happy midsummer and that they were out somewhere in the the Mediterranean.

Now it's time for me to head to work. Fortunately for me, Nadia's working as well, so I'll be in good company. We talked about buying us some more strawberries and celebrate as much as we can.

Hope you all have or have had a lovely midsummer. Especially those of you I don't get too see!

I miss you baby, but even so you've already made my midsummer a lovely lovely one.

Family havoc at midsummer

Okay, so got all the shopping done before midsummer. For those of you that doesn't celebrate midsummer traditionally, here it's major. Except for Skansen, the city's pretty much emptied when people go to their, or someone else's, summerhouse out in the archipelago for the weekend. And then start at around noon to gulp down vasts amounts of aquavit (not as healthy as is sounds, it turns out), snaps, beer and every other interesting liquid they can find. Although this is done in a very orderly fashion; we sing to it. This is very amusing to an outsider, which I can completley understand. As soon as some one spontaneously says Skål! (which amazingly seems to happen alot) everyone start singing snaps-visor, (they're not too long) which ends with another Skål! and an emptying of the snaps. Sill and snaps is also closely connected on our smörgåsbord and needs to be taken together. Hence alot of singing occurs during lunch.
My own dear family is no less when it comes to midsummer. The usual misdummer is spent out in my grandparents house in the archipelago about an hours drive from central Stockholm. Set up on a mountainhill it has a beautiful view over the water. And there we all join up. Myself, my brother, our cousin, uncles and aunt, and also our dear old great grandmother. As the oldest in the family, great grandmother has her own perks. No one really contradicts her, so she can do pretty much all she wants. And what grandmother likes like no other is a good party. And she's very fast on pickin the right seat at the dinnertable. You see, grandmother has this posh handblown snapsglasses, which - as it turns out - are hence not exactly the same size. This always causes tableseatings to be a riot. Greatgrandmother, of course, always takes the first seat. Usually by proclaiming some age realted pain and sits down at an early stage (and then having all us young ones fething her wine), then next up is usually Tomas, one of my uncles. He's the oldest of the two present brothers and am skilled enough not to let anything divert him from eyemeasure the glasses. Dante and David (uncle) are usually the ones following closely after. These three is usually to whom the fights are contained, unless Tom as the father and man of the house decides to step in as well. Left in all this havoc is dear little grandmother running around tryin to keep the peace, whereas greatgrandmother is just loving it all. But it is all done in a very loving spirit. Tomas and David likes to fight about the glasses, and they're delighted now that Dante's grown up to join in as well. Tomas, as the dutifull uncle he is, immediately took him under his wings and made sure the lad was taken well care of. Grandmother, I remember, looked a bit frightened at that time.

Rain!

It is soon midsummer and it rains, in orderly fashion. I can't remember a midsummer in years when it didn't rain. Last midsummer was a good one, it only rained for a short while. As you see, it did of course when we were headin back from the midsummer pole to our house. Caught out in the rain as you might say. As a matter of fact this perticular story do actually end with the lads bein indoors seein the rain and takes the car to come pick us ladies up. It was after all midsummer.
Well that was all that. Rain on midsummer, I can buy that. But my point is; it's raining today. Today's not okay, when I've got loads to do and planned on havin a nice walk to work. Hell no. Woke up at nine and realized it was raining outside and turned over and slept for another half an hour. Shame that can't be done for the rest of the day.

Last day of the hol

Even though my scotland trip's over, still had one more day of my hol left. Had a very nice long sleep in this morning. Then didn't get out untill around 15 when I met up with Dan and we headed down to the Kallhällsbadet to hang out for a while and chill. Nice day, didn't do much, it didn't take much effort. That's nice sometimes. And even though I work tomorrow I don't haveto get up early and might get some stuff done before then. Great.

Didn't think the pictures I posted really needed any captation. You saw them, there were either me or my brother doin some face or tryin too look really cool. That's about it. Oh, and yeah, we were in Scotland. Other than that, not much to tell really..

Now I'm off to bed!!!

Pictures!

Back home again

Eventually arrived home to Stockholm again after a long and eventfull weekend in Scotland. I'll write more about that later, as well as add some photos. But as for now it's just the 'we're back'-part that is essentiall. At least at this time of night after a long day of travelling. Our flight was delayed over 2 h, but that actually cheered Dante up a bit since we got a 7£ voucher each for light snacks and refreshments as a compensation. Reckon that that made it all worth it for him. He got a free tuna sandwich so he was happy. Not too hard of a man to please, my brother.

Enough's enough, bed for me! Good night

And we're off!

And then we're off! Scotland. Yeay.

Ill try to take as much pictures as I can. Not as much for my own sake, more for my brother to show him later when we get back what weve done, as he probably will be too drunk to remember much of it. It is after all his 21st, bless. Got to get a kilt to the lad.

See you all later! Cheers!

Oh, Ill be havin both my swe and eng mobile on. Pick your choice!

Live for who?

Everyday I drink my tea there's always a word of wisdom (which of course is a very disputable statement. I take it back. It says something.) on it. On the one yesterday it said:

Live for each other.

Im not totally sure on that one. I understand where they're headed with that one, but still not convinced.Its sweet and all. Very noble. But it raises questions. Like who will live for me? and what happen if they dont do it as good as I would?

Feelin a tad bit better now

Been to the doctors today. Overall Id say it went really well. That is to say I didnt haveto make another appointment. Got some results back on my blood, and am apparently a completely healthy young lass - a part from the catarrh and being lactose intolerant, that is... So that's good. ish.. But overall, Id say that things are really good as for now.
