Trevlig Midsommer....

Midsummer Golf - Strövelstorp
Thomas explains to Therese that it was my bad shot at the 7th which lost us 1st place and ultimately the wedge prize for lowest gross score :-p
Midsummer Golf - Strövelstorp
After the golf we all got down to some serious partying with our own house band as Gitte demonstrates her shimmy ;-)
Midsummer Golf - Strövelstorp
Peter and Thomas celebrate as our putt goes in! Our team came 3rd, which is quite surprising considering we were already trashed after the 3rd hole...!!
And this is what happens when drunkards try to play golf.....(click here)
Gitte's comment is the best one "150m med drivern! Är du koko i ballen eller?" LOL!

It's my birthday! Yay! And I'm currently sat on a boat with my colleagues on our way to the island of Ven for a big project kick-off. Christel is at home tearing down walls in the house with her dad.

Homestylerz on Myspace
Last week just went by in a blur with lots happening at home and at work. The house purchase completed last Thursday so we're now proud home owners. We are absolutely "überglücklich" and totally ecstatic over our little Swedish cottage and have already been rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty ;-) I'm blogging the renovation and all its pitfalls on Myspace so if you're interested you can check out our Homestylerz Myspace - http://www.myspace.com/homestylerz site and have a laugh at all our inevitable mishaps!
Triss Lady Qualification Round - Ängelholm
I've just got in from playing golf in a monsoon. It's been horrendous!!! The golf course turned into a quagmire.
Katharina (my German neighbour and golf buddy under the umbrella) and I came 2nd and qualified for the district finals of the Triss Lady Championship in Wittsjö next month. I'm now looking forward to a bitch of a cold and a bad back for a week! I was soaked to the bone.....we all were! :-/

The invasion has started
The tourists are settling in nicely this evening,their lobster-coloured bodies glistening in the evening sun.
Sizzlin'
The bbq'd filet of pork did go a little black at one end but as I've never laid claim to being a dab hand at cooking à la Jamie Oliver-style I don't think anyone can hold it against me!
Braver than me!
This "pier" (if that's what you can call it!) down the bay at Jönstorp was too old and rickety for the likes of me to step foot on......however, if you're blond AND Swedish, you can dance with death and live to tell the tale! ;-ppp

Toyota Cup qualifying round
Well you're not going to believe this (as I can barely grasp what I've done right now) but I've just won the Toyota Cup qualifying match at Örkelljunga, hit 4 under my handicap (which means yet another reduction down to 17,5!!!) This means I've just qualified for the finals, which are being held at Fågelbro Golf & Country Club on the Stockholm archipelago on 29-31 August!!! :-OOOOO
To top that off, I won the longest drive competition on the 16th hole and took home the trophy on the right, as well as some nice Titelist golf balls.
Still in shock, but Christel has just made me a nice cuppa and pulled two pizzas out of the oven :-D It's been an eventful day!
Sweden's National Day
The flags are flying cut not for me. I'm about to try my luck at Orkelljunga Golf Club. It's the Toyota Cup match. Wish me luck!

Funny sign: Pick up after your dog!
I thought the "Hondpoop" doggy dustbin signs in Maastricht were rather amusing, but the Swedes have outdone the Dutch here. The dog is saying "Re-eady!!" Have NO idea why this dog is green. We don't have any green dogs in Sweden....at least, I've yet to see one!
