Lofoten

Such an amazing place to be. Me and my sister Ida did a road trip to the north of Norway, 1200 km in 50 hours. The ladscape is just brethtaking, and it was bursting in colors of green, orange, yellow, black, blue and grey.
It was windy and a bit rainy but it diden´t matter, well we almost blow of the cliffs twice but al safe now!
We made dinner on the gascoocker and went for a surf in Flakstad, love my wetsuite it really keeps me warm! Big thanks to Victor, Kajsas hubbie for lending me his surfboard!
Its great traveling with Ida, never any complaints and always up for an adventure!

Sorry

Havent been able to write here for a while, dont got a proper Internet...well well

The autum is here for sure, and l like it! So many colors to enjoy. Spent the weekend at mum and MIckes since she turned 50 today, party party. I dont hafto eat more this week...stuffed!

Me, Bullen, Ante and my Auntie Maria and her hubbie Johan slept in the little cabin in the back yard, felt like back in the days when we spent the summers togheter, playing, giggeling and laughing our days away.

Its also been a lot of this wordfeud going on, letters and words flying around, its hard with words on C... Emma is giving me a hard time, shes beeting me big time and keeps laughing in my face, but i will get her....just need to get my brains working again....

Its been full on as usual, working in Gothenburg 2 weeks, like it a bit more lively the city then Halmstad...But for now it looks like it will be an autum in Halmstad after 2 weeks up north!

Hasta luego!
Got to seasons of Sons of Anorchy on my hard drive now...now how i will spend my sunday eavning! Mumma!

More tradgedy, why do people do this crazy things? why do they want to make other people sad? Why do they want to hurt other people? Its hard to understand... watching the news, listen to the rain and thunder outside...
Be kind to each other, we are vulnerable, weird stuff keep happening around the world, we cant predict the outcome. I still belive in karma, keep do good and  hopefully good will happen to you.
Wow big thunder storm now need to shut this thing down...
peace love and understanding

Marstrand


Such a beautiful place! Went up there yesterday to get some inspiration for the upcomming Tall ships races and Stand Up after Sail in Halmstad 4-8 of August. It was Stena Match cup Sweden that took place, and Jess this is really a Stekigt place! We went through the VIP areas, so many fancy people in sailing gear. Haha not really my cup of tea but they had a Irish guy playing the guitar, that i do like!

This is a preview of what it might look like at the Stand Up after sail during the tall ships races and the SUP event that will take place. Imagine SUP besides 70 ships of this kind? Lovely!

I went SUPing yesterday, so peacful! I went to Grötvik maina where the Elivis imitation gave me a warm welcome and the audience took my picture, got a bottle of water before I waved and paddled away again! Hahah what a promotion tour för SUP! heaps of fun!

I live in my favorite house!

The TORP! Everyday its getting better and better, like my roomies and the garden just gave me heaps of cherries. Me and the boys all helped to make a cherrie brownie, yummie!
I got everything I need, a kitchen, a bed and now a drapery to make my little corner extra cosy, we got a laundry machine (favorite chore, hang the laundry outside..), a lounge, and a big back yard - a perfect place!
I like having someone to chat with after work and someone to cook with and try new recepies..
We have two new hammocks thank´s to Mamma and Micke! Sweet as for my nap times...

My roomies during one of our many BBQ in the eavning sun! I told Macke he would end up on the blog...
