Just got home from a weekend in Finspång, a countryside town in southern Sweden. Tomas van der Poll, a fellow trekker friend of mine, had a 31st birthday party. A very successfull party with lot’s of eating and socializing. Thanx to Jenny, his wife, for the great food, and everyone who attended for the company. Especially Eva and Bosse for the ride over there.
It’s official – I hate Finland ! Not only do they win Formula 1 all the time, nor is it enough to take Malin away from us but now they beat us in the quarter finals in the ice-hockey World Championship in S:t Petersburg! And I’m going there in two weeks, and I really hope I’ll meet a nice finn for a change. But I wouldn’t count on it.
Our department at work was invited to go see the Glen Killing gang at Gran Hotel, something I really wanted to do. But something, or rather someone, came in the way of those plans and I had to cancel, which turned out to be a pretty good choice. Besides, I have a really hard time saying “no” to women.
I did another radio appearence today! Tomas Graneryd, radio host on Radio Stockholm, invited me to come over there and have a talk with Johan “Godzilla” from the TV show “Villa Medusa”. If you’re not Swedish or have Kanal 5 you probably don’t know who he is, which is your loss. It was pretty fun, I’ll post an MP3 recording of it as soon as I can.
This was a day of mourning. One of the nicest women that I’ve ever met (who, somehow, was immune to all my attempts at getting a date), got a gig to work in Finland. Since her job here was just a part-time job she accepted and this was the last day I chatted with her and got to say goodbye. Now I really dislike Finland !
