Viking food??


Because the Vikings have always been famous for their love of burger bars.......!

Coffee time


Enjoying some java at a Helsingör street café.

Result!



After a whizz around Kvickly at Prövestenen, and 3800DEK later, we got everything in the car and also picked up a really cool grill, which we can hopefully use at least once this year if the weather allows. Had we bought everything in Sweden we've worked out that we would have paid 1500SEK more! Well worth the trip!

Boat to Denmark


Off to buy cheap booze for the housewarming party. :-P

My personality type

You Have A Type A- Personality

You are one of the most balanced people around
Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want
You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you.

When it's playtime, you really know how to kick back
Whether it's hanging out with friends or doing something you love!
You live life to the fullest - incorporating the best of both worlds

Smoking ban in own garden

It's a bugger when you have to read foreign newspapers to get the local news! I can't find this article in Sydsvenskan, even though the Telegraaf seem to have picked up on it in Holland.

I personally love the comment by "ik stink, niet" LOL!

Incy Wincy Spider


My blood-curdling screams could be heard 50km away!! Not since the HUGE spider I had in my bedroom in Frankfurt have I seen a spider this big. Christel did the honourable duty of "dealing with it". Nina, who was visiting from Stockholm, also had quite a shock! Well, as they say down here, everything is big in Skåne! :-/

Another lost ball


I played a round of golf yesterday, or at least tried to. Most of the time we were in the woods looking for the blokes' golfballs because they think that hitting hardest is more important than hitting straight. Katarina and I were most pissed off!!

More floor tiling


A woman's work is never done, especially this woman's! But at least the hallway is almost finished now :-D

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck - Catriona Matthew wins!


Catriona Matthew from Scotland wins the Scandinavian TPC. Of course, we Brits always like to take the trophies home, hehe! ;-)) And here we actually see Annika smiling!
Well done Catriona!

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck - Caroline Hedwall


I saw Caroline play at Ängelholm when she won the Telia Tour a few weeks ago and today she was the best placed amateur at -2. Here she is putting at the 18th. She's one to watch for the future!

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck - At the 18th


Christel gains inspiration from the pros :-)

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck - Annika Sörenstam


Annika lines up her birdie putt on the 5th and finishes with par.

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck - Amanda Moltke-Leth


The Dane finds the bunker yet again and hits a great shot onto the green at the 11th. The winds were blowing in from the sea but this didn't bother the players.

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck - Annika's bag


Annika's a Callaway girl just like me.....only her clubs are custom made.
Still, I'm really pleased with my steel shafted X18s, although I'm thinking of getting some Mizuno X25s the end of season sales. Never one to miss a bargain! ;-)

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck - Annika Sörenstam


Annika contemplates her next shot at the fairway on the 1st hole.

Scandinavian TPC at Barsebäck GC


Just gone 18 holes with Annika Sörenstam and have now plonked ourselves on the stands to watch the rest of them come in. Catriona Matthew (SCO) is currently in the lead.

Window boxes


We've planted new flowers in our window boxes now that we're getting green fingers! And in the window you can see "The Plant That Must Not Be Named", which is still surviving 8 years after Oscar's cat-attack!

A handful of trouble


I've just broken my SIM card whilst swapping phones, which obviously means that you can no longer reach me on my private mobile number. *sigh* God knows when Telia will send me my new card but I have ordered one.

The wonderful world of IKEA


That bit goes where? ;-)

We've moved!


Finally the day has arrived! Now it's time to unpack. Just so you know, it will be a few days before we're back online.

Apples!


Our apple trees have dropped a shed load of fruit so before we can mow the lawn we have to collect them.

Kitchen flooring


Just in the middle of laying impact resistant plasterboard to even out the floor before I start laying the tiles. My back is starting to complain and the electric screwdriver battery needs charging. Time for a cuppa!

Hammer Grammar


I've lost count of how many times I've packed and unpacked this German grammar book but I don't have the heart to chuck it, it comes with so many memories!

Hard wood flooring


I never thought I could get so excited about wood but today I'm in ecstasy as we are now laying our new wood flooring in the house! Yay! :-D

A naughty pic!

[Photo removed]

Like I said, I'm so gonna get killed if she sees I've put this one up!!! She caught me red handed! Ooooops, hehe! ;-))))

New fashion


When using radiator spray paint one should always take the necessary protective precautions...and improvise when required! ;-)

Back on the ground


Phew, just got off the pressurised sausage canister courtesy of SAS. Now it's off to get the luggage, and take the train over the Oresund Bridge to my beloved Sviiiiiiden, ja.

Manchester -> Copenhagen


Just landed in Copenhagen and the usual rush to get off is well under way. I actually enjoyed the flight for once as it's been one of only a few flights I've experienced over the North Sea, which hasn't had bad turbulence!

Manchestaaaaa rarara!


Under the fog and clouds in the distance is the city of Manchester. After being here for almost 5 days we've finally got some sunshine!

On my way home


And surprisingly the traffic around Manchester on the M60 isn't too bad!

Bradley


It must be so hard being so cute!

Boys and their toys.


Bradley, my new little 'step-nephew', gets to grips with the important things in life: cars! ;-)
