Since the last update it seems a lot of things happened! I have kept working from home, and in the evenings we have been dining at Michelle’s Rainbow Dragon Restaurant and Michelle’s Chippy.
On Thursday evening we decided to go to The Melville for a pub quiz, which is always fun. Could have used Grandpa Stefan's worldly knowledge though! I mean; how are we supposed to know what the only 9 nations in the UN starting on the letter 'L' in English are? :) Our friend Martin also tagged along, and half way through the quiz everyone were suddenly staring at the flat screen on the wall instead of listening to the Quiz Master. Shocker! Michael Jackson had died! Very unexpected and very sad! A guy by the bar shouted a profanity about Michael, but did not really get the response he was hoping for; instead he got a telling off from the bartender. Earlier in the day another celebrity, Farrah Fawcett had also passed away, still sad, but at least a bit more expected.
Last night we stayed at home (at Michelle’s) and just watched a movie, and to our horror we realized that the internet was not working and the battery on my phone was dead! Is that how being shipwrecked on a deserted island feels like? Before the phone died completely I managed to squeeze in a phone call with my dad, who is a busy blogger nowadays!
His blog, http://tornedalsbloggen.blogspot.com/, is attracting lots of visitors and he is constantly coming up with new anecdotes to write about. Very interesting I must say!
The plan for today was either to throw a Barbie in the backyard or to go on the hop on hop off-buses and be touristy around the city, but I think we’ll have to postpone as the weather is definitely more ‘Shiite than Sunni’ today – Iraqi inside joke.
Oh, and no baby yet!
