It is time to toss 2005 out the window and tell 2006 to enter our lifes

A lot of things have happened. Hmm, let´s see.... erm.... well, I don´t know... some things must have happened i think. I will probably remember them next year, when looking back at "the best year in my life". Or something like that. Everything looks better from a distance

A lot of things will happen 2006. That´s for sure. No doubt. Yes, yes, ja, ja. First of all, Blenda is getting a brother / sister in July. So anyone that wanna visit, please come before that. When the new one is out there won´t be that much time left for heavy drinking or mowing the lawn at midnight.


This happened 2005. (Not the photo, that is from the 60´s).

Enough of that, I just wanna say Happy New Year, Gott Nytt År & Feliz 2006 from your main slacker up north.
Hope I will see plenty of all of you next year.

Black heart, black house, black celebration

Trying to capture that wonderful feeling of blackness.

Off pist!

Yah slackers! Still posting about that snow? Yes! No doubt. It´s been snowing constantly since yesterday, the landscape is white and in new shapes. Our fridge was getting empty and new years eve is getting closer, after chopping wood for two hours this morning i decided to try and get the old Volvo to the nearest supermarket, in Vellinge 8 kilometers away. Woooooohooooo, worst and best ride I have ever done, couldn´t see the road, i just aimed for what i thought was the road and drove as fast I could, if I would stop - I would get stuck. And I made it there, and almost all the way back. A few hundred meters from our house i ended up in a field, covered in snow. While waiting for a traktor to pull me off another car passed by and got stuck on the other side of me. Excellent! Half an hour later we had been pulled off by some nice farmer inbreed. Hahahah. I love it. I wanna drive more, just give me an excuse. Jim & Rebecca, please get out here, I´ll pick you up and show you what the Volvo and Melinderville is all about!

I am supposed to work tomorrow, but no no, no way. I can´t do that. Can´t get my sorry arse away from this house for a few days, not until 2006. Luckily we got food, whisky, internet and fire.

No more manana, manana...

Spanien slopar siestan.

They say that there´s no more siestas in spain. What next? No more sangria or lazy manana, manana brothers?

Swedish Johnny Cash

I got this for christmas. 3x2cd of pure folk from beyond optimism. Allan Edwall is my no1 hero. "Visst är det bättre, men int´ är det bra.", national hymn of Melinderville.

Jim & Rebecca were supposed to come visit last night. I had already put the whisky on the table and prepared myself for a long night of blahblahblahblah. But father Winter put a stop to that. We are totally snowed in, out and away. Can´t see the car anymore. The dog is just a black dot running around in the snow. Blenda is thrilled. Roads are fun, yesterday there were 60 accidents in just one evening. Nice. Luckily we got 60 kilos of bird food to keep us alive til march.



13.30 today, the un-view from our kitchen.

Dan efter dan efter dan efter dopparedan

Blood is returning to my weins

I have seen the light. Walking the dog this morning i saw the sun rise over snow white fields. Pretty f***** beautiful I must admit. Another kind of beauty is the new release from Native, Traktor 3. Wooooohooooo! Download demo. 4 channels and loads of new stuff to play around with.

We got the MF internet connection running out here in the middle of nowhere. Hot! Hot! Heat!

Christians birthday party was hot as well. Especially for a farmer boy like me, nice to get in to that drinking mood. Even if I didn´t last very long. Com sempre. Thanks for the negernescaféball, Christian. I owe you one.

Over and out. Going to Trellehåla to meet family.

One day you´ll find me barking at the moon

Mother Nature is kicking like a mule. Last night walking the dog it was full moon. Normally it´s dark as a chimney sweepers behind and I can´t see shit, but with the full moon it was a walk in the park, in full daylight. Or at least with full daylight on a smoggy day in Malaysia. I never felt the moon so strong before. I even had to shave my back when I got back in.

Another friday, another dollar. Time flies, yesterday Blenda visited the kindergarten. She loved it. I loved it. It´ll be paradise for her, 17 new friends and a zillion toys to play around with. Better than a grumpy, bearded old man shouting "NO" to everything that is slightly interesting in a cold, damp house.

It is Christmas time, they closed a complete department at our office. 8 people will have to go. Merry, merry, merry christmas to you all. Lucky me I have joined the union. Try to sack me, suckers!

The house on the hounted hill

On the 27th we're coming to visit you Tompa. Glögg & pepparkakor? Will there be a little bed for the travellers?

Bingo

Tonight (Monday, 12 December), Roope is having an inauguration type thing at bar Candela (the one on c/Hospital, opposite the square where Rita Blue is, not the one near Cora's place). It starts at 8.00pm. I am not sure if the whole exhibition is all Roope's work but some of it at least.

Today is my names-day!

yes, sir. one name richer.

Aaaas

Don´t call it a comeback, I been here for years.

(Moma said knock you out. I´m gonna knock you out.)

The famous fence.

Life in the slow lane has been MF hard. I got a broken toe, an endless cold and a messy house. Everything that could gone wrong so far has been doing so. It´s been a uphill struggle since the first day. I am tired. I am beaten. I am a small human being on planet earth. I am very bad at predicting how things will be like. Living in the countryside is far harder that i thought. Every single aspect of it.

But I have some faith. It´ll be good. In the end. Today I am in at the office, going through hundreds of mails. Mails that deserves a proper reply. But I got plaster on 5 of my 10 fingers. Makes it hard to write.

Your silly boy up north.
