Winnings!

As the golf season gets quickly underway it was time for another match, this time at Ängelholm golf club. We played a flag match where you go round with a little flag and place it when you have run out of extra "shots" (according to your handicap) Not only did I manage to make all 18 holes, but I had 7 shots remaining after the 18th! this meant that I had to start again at the 1st so I parred that and then got to the green on the 2nd. Not only did I sink my handicap by 2,8 from 25,6 I also won the B-class and a 500kr (about £40) gift voucher for Berggrens' Guld :-D So I'm WELL chuffed, mainly at sinking my handicap to 22,8. Yesterday was a good day!

Curling: Martin, Fredrik & Monica

They look on as the instructor does a quick reenactment of Torvill & Dean's Olympic Gold Medal "Bolero" routine across the ice :-P

Curling: Victoria & Elin

Girl power at the curling alley. Victoria gets ready to show the guys how it's done, while Elin slowly freezes (but at least with a smile on her face!)

Curling: Peter & Niclas

"Would you believe it!" exclaims Niclas, "I was this wide before I started the game but now thanks to pushing 18kg slabs of stone across the ice I've now reached my optimal weight!"
"Oooooooh!" says Peter "Shall I sweep?"
;-)

See Niclas' winning curl here!!

Curling

Out at the curling hall with the R2R/FOTA project team. My team unsurprisingly came last but only because there wasn't any beer flowing! ;-)

Horsing around

Pinkie and her foal friend who keeps her company. It's the neighbour's horse but I don't know its name.

Pinkie

One of the horses we're looking after at the moment. She's a sweet little thing. :-D

Lilla Pärlan's stor äventur

Medan Johanna är borta i Kina så får Lilla Pärlan (hennes bil) tar semester eftersom min bil, Oskar, är sjuk. Här står Pärlan och tittar på andra golfare öva på puttning greenen. ;-)

Fluffa: A Bundle of Energy

7 months old and full of cheek. We're staying at Christel's brother's house for a week as of tomorrow to look after the "zoo" (birds, cats, dogs and horses) while they go sunning themselves on the French riviera.

Check out Fluffa in action

What would Brussels say?!

A lovely long straight banana from Columbia. They must use heroin for plant food! Anyway, we've had a few good giggles here because of it ;-)

Mina Golf Bitches

Ut på banan i helgen med min tyska granne och två trevliga killar. Här gömmar vi oss i buskarna (ingenting konstig, bara att den gula tee var så långt bak!) ;-)

Klitterhus

The restaurant is still standing!

Sunset over Ängelholm Bay

Got down to the beach in time for the sunset. Still one of my most favourite views in the world ever. It's home!

More sweets!

This time i'm in on the act but don't feel too bad about being a greedy pig :-P

Cherry Tree Cottage

I've done a little photo album with house pics for those who have yet to feast their eyes on Cherry Tree Cottage. An old lady lives there at the moment, which is why the décor is very oldy worldy but it's the perfect little project for us with plenty of expansion opportunities to keep us occupied for a few years!

Check out the photo album here

A gloating golf moment

Feeling inspired after watching all the Augusta action this weekend I decided to venture out onto the golf course this afternoon. Here's my shot from the tee at the 9th today. 180metres with my Big Bertha 5 Wood into a very stiff headwind! I birdied the hole, which is nothing other than a miracle for me considering this is an index 1 hole (the hardest hole on the course for those of you not into all the golfy stuff)
So I'm feeling pretty well chuffed at the moment, and feel that my Big Bertha purchase was well worth every Swedish crown! :-D

Sheila

Fluffa's mum came along to Christel's parents house today for an Easter smörgåsbord. It's always nice to have pets that match the rug ;-)

Dizzy blonde?

Nah, not quite, just a bit Swedey ;-) And she doesn't really have a wonky eye, it's the camera angle that makes it look that way! :-s

Thyme takes some stick

He's a funny bunny, always up to mischief and he knows it! He likes to throw his applewood stick around. Christel managed to get a photo of him "mid-toss".

New family member

You see the thing is that when Edin's put big "REA" (sale) signs at the side of the road, one can only oblige and take a look around at what's on offer.......and buy! :-p

Easter Bunnies

An old favourite :-D

Tax declaration time

"Skriv under på baksidan" - Write under on the backside....i love Swenglish!!
Oh my god somebody please help me! *wibble* :-S

Vårkänsla på golfbanan

Härligt! :-D
