Skydiving on Thursday

Well, it’s time to throw myself from a perfectly functional plane again! This time I’m doing it for pure enjoyment after winning a competition at work. On Thursday 2nd September, if you are in Västerås, look for me plummeting 4000m straight towards the ground.

Hmm, I hope the parachute opens!

We’ve been baking

Our friends Thomas and Anna parked their car at our place for two weeks while they went to Florida to attend Star Wars Celebration V. As a thank you, they brought us back some real cool Star Wars cookie cutters. Last night, when Jimmy and David were here, we decided to make some to see how they’d turn out.

Pip is feeling much better now!

Thanks everyone who has been asking about our poor, sick little cat. She’s feeling a lot better now and is back to her usual self. She’s lost a lot of weight but that’s not necessarily a bad thing since she was a bit porky.

More gardening delight…

We’ve now got a date for when the builder will come and start on the balcony. Wednesday 1st September is D-day so we’ve been working like mad to try and get the paving area sorted out first. Sadly, we don’t have the finances to do everything so we’re going to wait a while before we buy the new slabs. In the meantime we’ve been evening out the ground and putting in sleepers to make a nice edge. It looks really good but it’ll be even better when it’s finished :)

The new sleepers What a mess Can you tell what it is yet? The sleepers are in place Much better

All that’s left now is to dig up more of the earth. We need to remove about 6-8cm over the whole area so that the paving stones will end up on the right level when we get them.

Happy birthday, Eva-Lena

Today we are heading over to Bromma to see Lars and Eva-Lena. It was Eva-Lena’s birthday on Monday and she got a new gas barbecue. I’ll be showing her how it works and cooking up a storm this evening. We gave her the same Börje Salming barbecue cookbook that I got a few weeks ago. It’s ace! :)
