My best Swedish friend Gustav – who actually reads this website – has translated “En Enda Röst”, the song I mentioned in an earlier post. It was a wonderful surprise to open my email this morning and see the email from him. I’ve played this song over 20 times last night and today. The repeat [...]
The Bird Dance/Chicken Dance
I dedicate this to my Dad who used to torture Yoda with this song on the car cassette player every time we had to pick up/drive him somewhere. It became a running joke, every time Yoda got in the car, Dad would have the song ready for him. Yoda hates this song with a vengeance!
Watching the Melodifestivalen final
If you go to the Social page on this website, you’ll see a stack of photos from last Sunday’s get together to watch the Melodifestivalen 2010 final on the big screen. Shots are lacking captions because I am waiting on the lovely Patrick to get back to me and remind me of all the names [...]
James is in Stockholm
My good friend James has arrived in Stockholm and a 24 hour journey covering Sydney, Bangkok and Helsinki. James isn’t frigid but Stockholm sure is as you can see from the picture here. It’s all ice, ice baby in Sweden. They’re having the longest winter they’ve had in eons. Normally the people and the weather [...]
My Birthday Present: Anything But iPod!
Darling Yoda bought me the perfect birthday present this year. Very happy, Jan! It wasn’t easy because every goddamn shop in the country sells those awful Evil Apple Empire things called iPods. And they don’t offer much else. Yoda had to be pointed to…er, I mean…had to discover for himself, a special online shop that [...]
Swedish Christmas Bazaar in Sydney
Yesterday the Swedish Church in Sydney held their annual Christmas Bazaar. James and Yoda study Swedish at the cafe located next to the Swedish church and naturally wanted to check out the bazaar. I was asked to tag along but was stuck waiting for a Woolies Homeshop order to arrive before I could jump in [...]
Surviving 41C….at IKEA
Holy Hectopascals! How do you survive a 41 degree day in Sydney? Well, for James the answer was going to IKEA. And he roped me into going too. James and Yoda have their last Swedish lesson for the year on Tuesday night and there’s going to be a bit of a Christmas party. Everyone has [...]
Photos from the Horse Shack, Sweden (with love to Gustav)
When I returned back from the big overseas holiday in August, I was supposed to gather all the photos I’d taken during the Sweden part of the trip. They were supposed to be put on a CD or DVD and sent to my host in Sweden, the gorgeous Gustav. I got as far as ‘tagging’ [...]
There are some things money can’t buy…for everything else there’s Gustav!
My fabtronic friend Gustav – who hosted Yoda and myself for 10 days in Sweden recently – has always been generous when it comes to helping out with translating things from Swedish into English. His father began exposing him to the English language from the age of 2 and then, of course, all Swedish children [...]
