This summer has been great - it went by faaar to quick though...
Had coffee with some of my girls (this is one hour after landing in sweden, coming straight from oz), then home for some delicious dinner = RIBS!!
First full day home - I spent it reading in the sun, eating sushi and getting totally burned...
A day on the town (Karlstad - Charles Town) with Emma and Lisa!
A nice, lazy walk a late summer night (yeah, it's around 9pm) - checking out my dad's ice cream truck;
Dad picking flower for Mum ;)
Later that week - hanging out by the river with Emma and Lisa =)
Second week home - going down to the west coast with my folks for a long weekend (thursday-sunday)!
First night - sitting on the rocks eating crayfish, cheese and drinking wine with our good friends Lotta and Lars! (the camping in the background is where we always stay, but this summer we rented a cabin right next to it instead of having a camping van)
It's pretty late at the mo, around 11pm
And finally around midnight the sun has set - although it'll be a clear blue sky all night long anyway =)
Day out at sea (with a quick stop in the coastal town of Grebbestad to get some food)
Dinner at our little cabin =)
Day #2 at sea - spent it at our own little place, which we call the lagoon - swimming, reading, sunbathing - lovely!
Saturday night - hittin' it at Röde Orm (The Red Snake) - a well knowned pub on the docks =)
yeah, it's past 1am... =)
Home in Grums again, and the temperature's rising:
Can you believe it - this is Sweden for God's sake! - and we've got above 30 degrees Celcius in the shadow outside, and more than 45 in the sun!
Grums
Me and my cousin spent a great day by the big lake, Vänern, the water was wonderful!
My summerjob at the paperfactory here in Grums;
That was the control room with all the screens etc - making sure nothing goes wrong. And then outside - all the logs we're going to turn into chips!
Went to Fiskevik (The Bay of Fishing) with Emma and Lisa one day - it's really like being at the ocean here - but still, it's only the lake...!
Inside one of the trucks at the factory:
To compare - Micke is standing next to the truck - and he's a pretty big guy... He can barely make it to the top of one of the tires..
Crayfish dinner at home!
Emma and I on the town - you can see the restaurant Pråmen (The Barge) in the background.
View from the truck a day at work - yup yup, it's Vänern the big lake you can see there - so believe me, this factory is not a bad place to work - nice folks, nice salary (!), and nice views!
Picking mushrooms with my mum and sister in the woods! :
My room:
Had a little surgery the last day of august... Got rid of my gallbladder - and that turns out to be fortunate - it was filled with gallstones.... just a matter of time before the next attack then i guess..
So here i a week after the surgery - I can now stand erect.. =)
Staying over at Evenlina's one of the weekends I spent in Gothenburg to take the gym instructor course. Next to our romantic dinner you'll see pics of the gym where we had all our lessons, and me and some other students at the course:
(woops, the last photo got a bit crooked, well well, can you all turn your heads? then i don't have to upload it again...)
Yeah, so what do you say - a trip to Sweden next summer wouldn't be all that bad aye? ;)
