dirk
kanon
i was lyin in my bed earlier with some trouble making up my mind - should i go for a run or not?
Tired, unmotivadet, felt over it and just off. but then i thought i should check what it cost to gym, just for a one-thingi-thing.
So, i took my running shoes and wallet to our local gym. 60 kr was the price, i thought it was slightly overpriced so i figured that i should get som value for the money - so i knocked myself out there. making muscels for every penny! haha
After 1½ hour i went out swetty, happy and totally knocked out. I can feel how the pain is slowly coming... aj aj aj.
worth it! so proud over myself, and it's a good feeling so i'm gonna pay those 60 kr again on friday! awesomeness.

run run run
i'm sitting here trying to find some energy to spend on the run that i've planed today. guess it's better doin it sooner than later so that i'll get it over with. Afterwards i'm gonna take my healthy lungs to the farmacy, time to get nicotin patches!
good day today!
good day today!
fishi
the weekend in stockholm at emmas was a lot of fun - had a blast. think it was a bit needed to get out of hallstahammar for a little bit.
today we've been just driving home and i've been chilling at home, skyping with dirk for hours. tonight i think i will either spend with my parents or at hannas place infront of bridget jones dairy. time will tell!
dirk told me that he's been outside our house and sneak through the windows. i'm so excited about moving in there! got all these interior ideas for it, but since i grew up in a ikea-land they are all budget ideas. so dirk can be calm.. haha
now i think my fish in the owen is done and it's time for dinner.

lite nervig
now i'm waiting for hanna to pick me up so that we can take our tiny little asses to stockholm. we're gonna have an awesome time with a lot of laughter, wine and "late-summer".
det är insidan som räknas
ikea is turning 60 years this year, so this years ikea catalog has been well known of it's entrance. It came in our post a couple of days ago. Pure torture to me, there is so many things that i want and it's frustraing just being able to take with light stuff like fabrics to namibia. i guess i have to look deeper into shipping costs, cause like i said - pure torture!
and it's lying there on dining table straing at me - mocking me!

freeedag!
Today my plan is to drink some red wine, i've missed that!
Hannas grandparent (shame on my not knowing which one of them) is having a 80-yearold party tonight. Hanna and Hannas mum Paula has been oragnizing it so i will show up there later as a part of the family with a bunch of flowers and red wine! Flowers for paula and hanna - red wine for me.
So today it will be a chilled evening with red wine and good company.
Tomorrow me and hanna are heading to stockholm to visit emma, who just moved there. Matilda is goin there today allready. so on saturday it's gonna be some partying for the four of us, that is offcourse if me and hanna are not getting totally lost in the traffic since we are driving there.

treehouse
The most that i've missed when i was in namibia, exept my family and friends, is my morning spot.
this is the place were i greet the mornings, fill up my batteries. I sit here with my coffee and ciggarette every morning - yes, even when it's 30 minus and snow up to my chin.
But next week my plan is to sit here with a cup of coffee and a nicotine patch, not as idyllic and arty but a lot more helthier
morning glory!
the autumn is knocking on the door. next week it's september and that is offical autumn, and you can actually feel it. the evenings are getting colder and you get this wet/cold smell in the air. The apples are getting red, our pears are getting bigger and on some trees you can see that they starting to turn yellow and red on the top of the crown. But the biggest fact of that autumn is coming is the darkness that sneaks around.
When me as dirk got here in the begining of august it was till summer (the seasons change quickly).
Both of us was quite impressed when we got here - it was so light during the evenings. I knew it was gonna be long evenings but i had totally forgott how long. Dirk himself always thought it was earlier that it actually was, i'm not gonna lie i thought so too. But since this is the place i grew up i always answerd
-"oh, you think it's light now dirk? it's just 10 a clock. you should see it in june! this is nothing"
but thinking
-"IT'S SO AMAZINGLY LIGHT OUTSIDE!!! WOW!!!!"
but like i said. I had to stay in caracter and play cool about it. what made me realized more that i'm not used to it was last night when i was on my way home from mimmi.
she called me from the kitchen
- LOOK! it's pitch black outside.. autumn is defenetly here now.
- but shouldn't.. ? eeh.. it's 11 a clock?
- I know!!
I'm so offshore.

skallberget
yesterday i took my ciggarettes and smile to mimmi in västerås. she moved there when i still was in namibian so i never saw the new apartment of hers. It was a beutiful, big and light flat which had the best location you could ever dream of - 10 meters from a pizzeria! right over the street! i thought it was awesome at least.
I had a really lovely time there last night with her and her boyfriend mattias. We were of course drinking tea and eating chocolate aswell. First thing we did was having sandwishes in the kitchen, since she asked me when i step through the door -"are you hungry?". To me there is never a negative answer to that.

vad kvinnor vill ha
i've done some washin today from the festival, didn't smell too good since it rained the last day at the festival.. wet close lyin in a suitcase isn't very "parfumey". My african suitcase is still unpacked and being at home in my girl room also comes with a mum that nags you to unpack it, don't blame her though. but i don't really get were i'm suppose put all my clothes... hm. thanks to mr price i'm now overloaded with clothes.
i've also been studying a bit now that i've got my afrikaans book. i'm slighlty confused but i'm getting the hang of it.
downloaded "what woman wants" the other day so now i'm gonna snuggle upp in front of the tv and watch it with some imported roobios tea.. makes me think of botswana were i drank it for the first time. So a very nostalgic evening it is!

raggmunk!
my mum is makin 'raggmunk' at the moment. a swedish dish that is quite similar to panncakes but it's made out of shredded potatos. taste like a hashbrown but looks like a panncake! the translation on google says "potato panncakes", so guess we'll stick to that. we eat it with fried pork and lingoberry jam.
anyhow, i've been a bit productive today. got myself a learing afrikaans book and booked an appointment with my counselors. Time to study math for goggatjie!
hannas gonna come here later tonight and i guess we will just lie like two seals in my bed watching a movie and just talking nonsence.. i will also ofcourse skype with dirk when he's back in swakop later tonight. We are now facing the skype-era!
älskling!
after i said goodbye to dirk at the airport yesterday i headed to surahammar to visit malin. hanna and emma were allready there. we drank tea, eat chocolate and talked about life in general.
Was quite nice to have a girls night since i was a bit shaken and upset, sayin goodbye to dirken was horrible. but i guess i have to stay positive to make the best out of the situation. Like dirk said, i'm just on a 6-8 weeks holiday.
but aj aj aj i miss him.
sweden
since i'm in sweden now i figure i will write my blog in english. A part time namibian means that i'm also a part time swedish, or maybe even 1/4. haha, any how.. i'm in sweden now and will come back to nam in october. Can be the begining, can aslo be in the end. But i figure it will be sooner than later since my heart is already a bit sore after sayin goodbye to wonderfull dirk at the airport yesterday.
So now i will show you what i'm up to in sweden and what kind of wiking stuff i'm doin all day long haha.
for example i had a crayfish party a couple a weeks ago. A swedish tradition were we eat crayfish, wearing silly hats, drickin snaps and singing stupid song before we sip the alcohol in.
sadly i forgott to take pictures since i was all stressed about stupid things at the party, i always turn into a organizing perfectionist when i'm havin a party. but i think we all had a lovely time. luckely victoria took some pictures from the party and here is my poor thing looking all confused in that crayfish hat.

Twyvelfontein, del 3
Efter pipsen åkte vi för att kolla på fosiler. ganska häftigt faktiskt, fosiler av gamla träd och annat gammalt. Hårt som sten var det, jag valde att stjäla med mig några delar.. det fick man inte.
Sen var det dags för lunch och vi gjorde det i afrikansk anda. Här grillas det förfullt, väldigt populärt och att grilla på afrikaan är braai. och det är ju rätt festligt, eller hur?
Twyvelfontein, del 2
Kanske är det dags för en uppdatering från twyvelfontein? nu när jag tagit mig an min dator för en gångs skull kan jag ju faktiskt göra det.
Den här dagen började med att vi åkte o kikade på "pipes"-mountain.. har jag för mig att det hette, något med pipes var det iallafall.

skrynkel
herregud! jag har ju glomt att beratta!
Dirk ar killen som gar barfota lite vart han vill, han bryr sig inte namnvart vad han satter pa sig. Sa lange kladerna ar losa och inte up-tight sa satter han pa sig det. En tisha, hoodie och jeans, ibland festar han till det med ett par manchesterbraller da han vagrar att lamna 90-talet bakom sig. Han kanner sig alltsa oerhort obekvam i sina arbetsklader som innebar skjorta instoppad i kostymbraller. Dirk har alltsa en sandar festlig surf-image, han ar cool, soft och hela "ja brymente"-andan. Men det finns en sak! haha och jag tycker att det ar sa roligt.
Allt maste va strucket, ar nagonting skrynkligt kan han inte satta pa sig det. jag tycker att detta ar som sagt, faaantastiskt roligt.
jag tycker att det ar sa roligt att jag ibland valjer att provocera honom.
idag ar en san dag.

traningsgnabb och presenter
traningen gar bra och visar resultat! jag kanner mig helnojd att jag antligen genomfort nagot. bade jag och dirk trodde att jag skulle ga tva ganger och sen ge upp, men va bada hade fel. jag tycker tamefan att det ar roligt ocksa. jag tankte att jag skulle smussla med hanna pa ett horn nar hon kommer hit.
Att ga till pilates, boxning och dansklasserna sjalv ar jag inte mogen for an. Kanner att jag behover en liten energiknippe pa sidan om som kan skratta at mig OPPET nar jag ramlar, snubblar.
ja.
idag ska vi trana rov och lar, det tycker vi inte om. nar jag gor utfall med vikter svajar jag upp som en hattifnatt nar jag ska ta mig upp ur den dar javla positionen. et betyder att jag ska ta mig till friviktsstallet pa gymmet. Har star Amber McFlex, Tyra Skinnyloe och Amanda Borntight och puschar med vikter i konstiga positioner som inte ens kamasutrabocker tar upp. Dom ar lite som cheerleaders med vikter istallet for pompoms. Dar star jag och flasar med ett trevligt "hej hej, dra at helvete"-leende. Ibland kan jag till och med motvilligt prata om vadret med dom. Det hander att jag ljuger ibland ocksa, sager att jag precis adopterat en amerikansk nakenkatt som jag dopt till hiroshima for att va lite rolig. det blir latt sa i pressade situationer.
okej, good thought good thoughts. happy place!
nu ska jag stada lite, ta mig an disken och sen gora lunch till mister el fiso dela dirk. sen pyser jag ivag pa hemligt aventyr. dirk ska fa present.. + ni andra dar hemma som forvantar sig en! fniss
