Tarot

Yesterday night training with Pauline was really nice! We did all the fix trick we can and it's still there! The big swing it's comming! ha ha.. it not as easy as the fixed part.. But tonight we will work more on that!

I bought a Tarot game today! JIHUUUU! So now I can teach all of you my favorite card game!

Next week I am supposed to work in Stockholm, but now I don't know because it is only two kids who inscribed them self.. Normaly it's between 80 and 90.. So I have to be there monday morning and see if more kids show up! If not, I'm free another week! For me it doesn't really matter because I get payed anyway!
If it turns out no kids are comming I will visit my family down south in Sweden, they have a summerplace in the middle of the forest with no electricity and water in the houses! Just next to a lake! To be honest I hope no kids are coming...

Powerhouse

Ok guys(Pedro, Christer & Tim), now I have been in your appartment! And I have only one thing to say: OJ!
Ha ha ha... you will have a nice welcome home!
First of all when I arrived your mailbox was over full so I picked everything I could and entered. No I did not because they changed your lock downstairs, maybe you already knew it but for me it was a suprise! So since I had all your mail and didn't want to carrie it around all day, I called all your neighbours bells! One answered and I explained my little problem so he opened for me and met me inside. Maybe he thought I was a thief but when I opened your appartment door he smiled and said "Bon journè"!
When I entered the appartment I started to sneeze! Your appartment is completly covered with 3 mm of dust! From when they changed your windows! But the windows are really nice and easy to open! But it was not ready yet.. But I suspect they will leave it like that!
When I entered the kitchen I saw some really nice and fresh baguettes... NOT! but since I'm so nice I putted them in a plastic bag and throwed them in the garbage on the street!

Pedro, your room was the worst.. but you had a nice message in/on your bed and it's unfortantly not from me.. But I could definetly see that you didn't miss me your last night in Brussels!
(Pedro om du hade kunnat mitt spràk hade du oxà kunnat läst att det var bara dom som hade lägenheten under audition veckan som lämnade lite trosor och lappar. Riktigt kul faktiskt!)

So have a nice cleaning when you come back guys!

After my trip to the power house I went to my appartment to pick the mail and maybe pay a bill or two but the frontdoor was locked and since I don't have any keys my mission was ruined.

Yesterday I worked with Pauline! It went good and against all odds I have no muscle pain today! Probably it will come soon since we will work everyday.. My back and my knees are also good! My body suprise me sometimes witch I like alot!

Along time no blog.. I will try to make a short summary:

"Grandma"
My grandma has alzheimers (no idea how it's spelled) so this christmas she moved to one of these homes.. Normaly she always live with us during summer but this summer she's to "gone" to be able to be with us. And I actually miss her alot, it's not the same without her. A couple of days ago I went with my parends to visit her. And to my suprise it was really hard, I haven't seen her since january and it's a big difference. She don't know who I am anymore. But atleast she recognize my mum. It's hard to see your grandma when she is not there. But she is happy in her world and I hope she knows that I love her.

"Brännboll"
Every year at my summer place we have a brännbolls cup!! Brännboll is almost like basebal but much easier and for everyone! so around hundred people, 10 teams, came together and we had a tournament all day long!! It's super fun!! Last year "my" team took the first place!! This year we lost the final with 6 points... thats nothing. Anoying but I'm happy for a second place!!
And in the same time it is this small amusement things for kids and off course I tried it all! I climed a climbingwall, I rided on a mechanic banana, I played football in a bungy thing! wow it was fun!

"Brussels"
Now I'm in Brussels, I came yesterday night! I'm here to work with Pauline. But she works everyday so we will train every night! Yuri will be there for us some nights to! So far I haven't done anything.. But I will probably during the week visit town, check Nils appartment maybe Pedro's too..
You will be updated!

Gåsö, "Cirkus Wictoria" & hamburgers

Yesterday I went with some friends to Gåsö (Goose island), it took us a while to find someone with a boat to join us but after two hours of searching "lill Peter" (an amazing, funny, totaly crazy guy) remembered that he has a boat, so we jumped of joy, packed everything you need to survive five years in Himalaya and went to Gåsö! Off course you need a bit of alcolhol to survive on an island a night so the only thing that we had was 8 bottles of champagne! It was left over from my sisters birthday party. So we had an really nice evening/night/day on Gåsö with champagne and strawberrys in front of the bonfire! Since I don't like champagne I was the only sober one witch was really fun because my friends are really good at entertain them selfs and talking! I was in charge of the bonfire! And it was the most beutyful bonfire anyone have ever seen!
This morning we stayed and took the sun, played in the water and we didn't leave until three o'clock because then Peter had to see "Desperate Housewifes".

Tonight I went to "Cirkus Wictoria" with my parends, they had their 20 years "anniversary" (the circus not my parends...) and it was actually quit good! It was only three acts with animals! And 4 chinees people saved the show!

Now I'm starving so I will eat some hamburgers with my friends!

Jessica

Yesterday I was with some friends at "Cirkus Maximum" in Norrtälje, I convinced them to go and see some oldfashion traditionel circus! The first chock was the 25 euros in the entré. The second was the extremly bad show.. worse than normal, it was 8 acts with animals and 4 with circus artists, and the artists were from China and Schwizerland, I was ashamed to see them.. but I can say one thing. Nils; you would kick theese chinees guys ass in the pole, and I and Pauline is good in cradle! Then it was icarian games that had a terrible act but a greate technic.
So we waisted one night and o alot of money but we tried..

Now Jessica and finally the sun is waitning for me so I got to go..

ITALY

Back on the island Blidö! Finally my first days of completly relaxsation! And with my luck the firsts days of rain.. but I'm happy anyway! I hang out with my friends and play a lot of yatzy and chicago!
Unlike some of my other friends I don't meet or see any new and exciting guys (or girls) but maybee they will show up soon... I'm not complaining because I have my lovely friends but it would be nice to have something to atleast rest my eyes on!

Last sunday I went with my father to Vansbro, it's a small place up in north (yes Nisse it's north..) where 7398 crazy people meet to swim 3km in a river.. My father and cousin was two of them. Me and Jessica (a very good friend of mine) decided at 3.00 on the saturday night while we were partying that we should go with them three hours later, my father almost had an heart attac when we came with them! To be honest, we regreted it around 10 minutes later but the day was nice anyway. Atleast we discovered that we are not so "fluffy" if you compare to the poeple who was in Vansbro...

Now my mother is going crazy she don't like waiting for me in an internet café! Next time I come alone...

Spilt Milk

I suffer with you Portugal.. But you suffer from the same disease as Sweden, you can't score a goal! It was really close many times, but close is not good enough so chear up and take the third place from Germany! Please!

So yesterday was the big shrimp night! But before the shrimps we went swimming a bit and unfortantly we played minigolf. I don't like minigolf I realized. I was totaly super bad. I thought I was gonna be the winner! I lost with 17 hits. Thats bad, so now I will never play minigolf again. I know I'm a bad looser so why put my self in situation where I can loose?
After the golfing we wnet for the shrimps! I never ate so many shrimps in my whole life before. I was a bit dissapointed because it was only shrimps, sause and bread. No salad or enything.. so after pealing of the shelf from two big plates of shrimps I couldn't eat or see more shrimps, and I was still hungry. So no more "räkfrossa" for me, but the idea is nice... After the shrimps there was a live band playing at the place we were, they called them self "Spilt Milk" and they where as good as their name sounds...

Today we putted the kids in gruops and started to rehearse tomorrows show. I think it's gonna be greate! They are good (for working 1 week) so I'm not worried.

Tonight we were supposed to play drive in bingo, but we kind of changed our minds and are probably going to the cinema instead! We will see! BUt cinema sound a bit momre exciting!

AND! I almost forgot! I bought a "Pettson & Findus" book on english to Miguel today! I hope he will enjoy it! (Miguel is the son of Angelique, my dance teacher)

Otherwise the life in Arvika is the same... dead... but tomorrow we leave! And I will be back on Blidö!

56738 shrimps

There is not so much to do..
We already did almost everything you can do in this "town". But tomorrow we have something really exiting to do, there is a drive in bingo! So for the first time in my life I'm gonna play bingo. When you have binge you blow the horn! I guess there is very nice prices for the one who wins, like 40 kg of coffee or a free CD with "Sven Ingvars".
Yesterday we decided to see "Smala Sussie" a movie that is about the people who lives in this part of Sweden. We saw it as an education. It was really funny and we learned alot! I will bring it to Brussels so everyone can see how amazing our country is!
Tonight we will go to a "räkfrossa" it is a restaurant where you pay 15 euro and in three hours you can eat as many shrimps as possible. I hope I can eat at least 56738 shrimps.. we'll se.
Tonight is also the last semi final in the world cup. Portugal - France. I'm sorry folks but I cheer on Portugal, and no Pedro, it's not because of you.
Yesterday I also saw Italy kick Germanys ass! It was nice!
To change subject, Malcolm introduced me to a new tv serie wich I'm in love in, "Family guy". You have to download or buy it, it rules! I smile just by thinking of it..

Arvika

After this amazing weekend with my friends and family I went to Arvika to work. Together with Malcolm and Putte I'm gonna teach kids some circus for a week.
We arrived here yesterday night at 03.00... This morning we where really full of energy and runned to meet the kids... almost.. Anyway, one good suprise for the day was that we only teach two groups so we quit at 13.30 every day!
So far I'm quite amazed of this "town", I don't know if I can call it a town... it's a village. Their accent is super funny and ugly, they don't have any humour and they look at us like we are aliens..
BUT it's a nice hotel we live in, big and good breakfast, sunny and they have an internet café! So maybe you will have more news in the week!

Where is my voice!

I woke up at home this friday morning, and at home now is Sweden, Blidö.
The sun was shining and I spended the whole day in the water!
During the day people arrived to our house because saturday night was the big party of my sister.
The party (saturday) was a complete success! A lot of poeple, a lot of food, a lot of sun and a lot of alcohol and a lot of music. I was dancing until 6.30 in the morning (sunday).
My sister was the happiest person on earth and as soon as you told her something nice she started to cry.. It was fun.
So that was a nice first weekend in sweden. A lot of playing in the sea and a lot of party!
And unfortunatly I lost my voice somewhere this weekend and I still didn't find it..
