friday evening, a bit drunk..........................

Hello all,

    Sorry about the time since last entry but its been hectic,

   I have been answering the telephone at work , and I  can tell you its no fun job when its not your first language that you are talking and the customers are asking about the difference between a big block and a hemi.... I actually still only have the slightest of ideas , but right now I have the Excuse I am drunk!!

  England I think was a great success, Malins Mom and Dad had a great time and although the weather wasn't so good I think we all had fun anyway, I am working on the website with all the new pictures so they will be there for all to see very soon.

  True to form while they were over it rained a lot and we got booted out of a few places for having Luka with us, This was a new experience for me, I relay cant Imagine owning a bar with an outside area that doesn't allow kids, crazy country that England is..

Anyway, tonight I have been down to both our local bars in Kallhäll and found out that the woman who lives on the 8th floor has REALLY been talking shit about us and our cat looking after ability's, and now I am primed and ready for a huge augment with her, Our cat didn't really take to the girl we left to feed him, so he pissed off for a couple of days, no problem for me, but the "In house guard" has been spreading shit that we are bad cat owners, now really, she takes he cat out on a leash.............

 Bollox to her anyway although it makes me mighty mad....

   Tonight I have been down to Pub Banken.. an altogether famous place with doors at least 6 inches thick and then on to Crazy Eagle , which had a Karaoke, fortunately for everyone around I was fairly sober so didn't sing

 Hell.... perhaps I Will sing 2morow

 

   Love ya all..

Greetings from England

 

  Hello from England,

   We are here, and its all very much like it always has been, very much rain!!! Malins Mom and Dad experienced a traditional English summer with flash floods and sitting outside a bar drinking warm beer with an Umbrella .We did get a nice afternoon on Sunday though and my Dad and his girlfriend Wendy took me, Malins Dad and Luka out into the country, Luka was impressed when he found a flower bigger than his head!!!

  Once Malins parents went home yesterday we started on our social schedule, Last night was spent in my old local "The White Lion" with quite a few Friends and family, tonight we chill, tomorrow we are staying over at Kierans pub in Walsall, Friday we go to a Nightclub in Birmingham, Saturday we have a Swedish midsummer party in Birmingham, then Sunday back to Stockholm for a rest......

  Love to one and all

Last blog till England!!!

Its almost midnight and its still light(ish) outside, crazy mixed up country that this is!!

  We have just finished packing and managed to do it without arguing, we have been growling at each other for the last hour or so, but having Malins Mom and Dad here has helped stop us have our usual pre-holiday row I think, but now it is allmost all done, I just have to zoom over to Lukas daycare first thing in the morning to get all his wet weather gear I forgot to bring home today... (we are going to England after all...), go to the shops and then its high ho off to the Airport we go :-)

  While sorting out the little guys clothes I did a quick rekkie on his odd socks----

 At age 18 and a half months he has more than me, RESPECT small dude!!!

  Will blog in England if I get the Chance, if not, speak 2 you in a week folks..

Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home!

Another quick one.....

Hello all,

  Its past bed time (Half past eleven, how times have changed!!) but I cant go to bed yet because I'm cooking pies for Lukas Mid-summer party at daycare tomorrow. We actually have a bar-b-que at work at the same time but its Lukas first party so its going to be much more fun, seeing all the little folks getting stoked up on cherryade and flapjacks, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up having to wheel him home, the little party animal him!! Ill take a lot of photos and stick them on the website ASAP.

  Malin is busy sewing one of her dresses and we have just finished the evenings cleaning getting ready for Malins Mom and Dad turning up on Thursday and then handing the apartment over to one of Malins Friends who is cat sitting while we are in England, and the pair of us are knackerd, I find it very hard to sleep now the sun is blazing in through the bedroom window around 3 am and Luka is waking up around 5 am wanting to get up and play so Its going to be SOOOOO nice to get to England and have a bit of a rest, I think my work is suffering a little from all the stress....

 

 

 

  Actually this was a repair done by one of my workmates, fortunately he doesn't work in our department, nor do I think he is likely to get offered a move Cool

 

     Love 2 1 and all...

About bloody time too!!!!

Hello folks,

This is actually the third time Ive sat down to blog in the last week or so, the first time the program crashed while I was uploading a photo and I lost about 3 paragraphs then the second I got distracted by some new nerdy space shit... but this time its for real!!!

  Its been a busy couple of weeks, here in the blazing sunshine of full on Swedish summer, we have spent a lot of our free time down at the beach, Luka loves splashing about in the water and its nice to be able to cool off a little while having fun with my Son, kicking a football about and all that, there are a load of photos on our main site, its been like Greece the last 2 weeks, almost too hot to go out at mid-day and very still and warm at night, with the strangeness of the fact it doesn't really get dark at the moment its a little hard to sleep, but still much better than the snow and minus 15c of winter.

  My Boss was off work Thursday / Friday last week so I was in the hot seat at taking telephone orders and writing them out on our dodgy new computer system while trying to keep everything running smoothly , its not so easy when Swedish is more of your 1 and a half language (rather than second...) but I coped and most everything worked out ok... It was nice to get back to bending pipes and installing a catalytic converter on a 1995 Chevy Camaro today though..

  I have had a little hair remodeling for the summer, this was the halfway point...

 

  And this is the finished article!!!

  Although I did think the bleached look was very Blade runner ,  Malin wouldn't let me keep it..probably for the best :-)

  We are flying to England on Friday with Malins Mom and Dad, Its gonna be fun to show them around and I'm also looking forward to meeting all the Friends and Family We haven't seen for so long, and I'm looking forward to a pint of Banks's or 2 in the Prince with the In-laws, Don't think I will take them in there Saturday night though...lol

  Anyway much love to everyone,

    Lee

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I'm right.
