Hej! So shit me, it's been a while...maybe this time blogger will actually let me write stuff. It's been a right knob lately so i've been keeping a real paper diary, crazy times. Anyway, what have I been up to of late? Well having fun mostly, that always seems to be what everyone ends up doing here, every night. On saturday I finally found the swimming pool in Bollnas, wheey! So me and Lisa went swimming and saunaing, then had ice cream to cool down in a nice cafe. (Special treat) Elsa's mum was visiting so we cooked a massive meal with her and blueberry pie which was nice. Then went to the highlander (scottish pub with turkish owner) later on, we were going to play tunes but it never happened yet. Then sunday was pretty boring. They are always depressing no matter where you are, even though it was really sunny here. Oh well.

Monday was better, I recieved a parcel from home! That was really nice and in it was a key to the basement storage rooms, where rowan and oona had left me lots of things for my room etc, so that was fun:

oops rotate doesn't work.

Anyway, then we went to the spelmanslag, which is always fun and you meet and play with lots of people and it sounds really good. I've only been twice but I really enjoy it. After that we got back and I spontaneously decided to make scones, face scones, so we did. And then we ended up having a party in my room. Maybe cos i'd made it a bit nicer. Anyway, was all good fun, even if nobody left til very late so i am tired today.

tonight i think some people are going to Bollnas jass club to see some people play. Might go, or might sleep, i'm not sure yet.

I have also been doing alot of knitting and crocheting lately (virkira, it's called in swedish, which is coming on by the way) so this is a picture of stuff i made (legwarmers and a hat mainly). But in like 2 days! Because I sometimes do it in bed for like an hour at a time!

I am especially proud of my new hat which I finished today:

In other news, here is the painting in my room which i stole from the corridor outside, slippers that i nicked from lisa's temporarily), ice skates i got given, a drum i got, the book i'm reading, which olof bought for me, to help me with my swedish, cushions i bought from kupan, my braids which are now dredding, but i don't want to take them out, and family which i miss. (whom i miss?) ahh skit samma!

I probably miss you too.

Anna
