midsummer

Oh, a weekend update on a Wednesday, how unusual. Well, here it goes. (Pics stolen from Ruth, you'll soon know why.)

As it was midsummer on Friday Josef, Ruth and I decided to celebrate it as much as we could. All according to tradition, I stole a Swedish flag from work and some flowers from the church next to me. I don't believe anyway so if hell exists I guess a few flowers won't do much difference. 


Then I bought salmon, eggs, potatoes, vodka and other necessary stuff and managed to get a pretty traditional midsummer dinner together. Even found some old sill (pickled herring) in the fridge that I used for a "gubbröra", omnomnom.


Even the Portugese loved it!

Even though I spent half afternoon making flower crowns out of paper Ruth went for a more Irish midsummer style.

After dinner, some nubbe (vodka shots) and singing we headed to Lost Society. After what felt like half and hour it was time to leave and we decided to go home, get some more drinks and go to a big after party. Then it went downhill. Someone had stolen my jacket at the club and when the taxi stopped outside my house I realized my key was gone as well. The annoying thing was that I had asked for my spare key back from Ruth the same evening and that's the one I lost. If not Ruth could have let us all in. Also, my feet were killing me (never high heels again. Maybe.) and the SD-card was not in my camera. After going through the whole cab I found my SD card but all my pictures before we went out were gone, weird! As I didn't have my key we couldn't get the drinks and all my money was in the apartment so couldn't come to the after party anyway. So I went home with Ruth and slept on her couch (thanks!) until I could call my land lord the next day.

Saturday and Sunday was pretty much spent on the couch, boring but nice. Went to see Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter on Sunday with Josef and Olle, wasn't really worth getting off the couch to see.

This week I have my first ever CouchSurfer at my place, a nice Estonian girl called Liisi. She doesn't like sport much but WoolShed is a part of my Guided Dublin Tour so football it is. Go Portugal!
