Mustang

I absolutely cannot forget to thank Johan for the loan of his Mustang for the week. It made for a great 30th birthday week.....and probably means that I am going to have to dig into my own pocket soon to buy my own toy car. Cheers buddy. Also thanks for arranging the trip to Åre in the truck. Its not often you can do a 2000km trip in a truck.....especially a tricked out FH16 with custom colours and graphics.

To round up my birthday weekend celebrations there was a huge birthday party at my apartment. Between 50 and 60 people came in the end....and a great time was had by all. I have to thank everybody for coming.....as well as for the fantastic presents i got. Pink socks, plenty of alcohol, an invite to dinner at Lottas house, a massage, a USB Midi Keyboard, and invite to go glider flying, flowers, concert ticket vouchers, and much much more. Thank you all very much. It made my transition to old man much easier. On the party side, i also had a great time....although i wish i had remembered to buy chamagne glasses for 60 people. 12 bottles of champagne and only 4 glasses does not work so well. Oh.....and the other thing i forgot was how long it takes to tidy up the next day!! Anyway, you can click on the pictures to see them bigger, and as soon as wayne sends them i should be able to post up some more. Cheers

Folk Race

As part of my 30th birthday weekend I also arranged a Folk Race. Basically this is an old traditional type of race for Sweden. It used to be that you had to buy and old car for very little money...race it against your friends in a field and then sell the car.....at least thats my understanding. What it meant for us though was turning up and being given rear wheel drive beaten up old Volvo cars to race each other round a dirt track. It was great fun...although i didnt win. The weather was great and there were many friends from work and the UK with me. The racing was pretty difficult. You were not allowed to touch the other cars.....AT ALL. With a penalty of being banned from the rest of the days racing. On parts of the track it was so dusty and dirty you could literally not see the other cars which were no more than ten feet from you. It made for some interesting moments. Well done david for holding your monster moment together.....i was sure i was going to get past you!!!

Poker Night

Had another poker night over at my place to help begin my 30th birthday weekend celebrations. Rob and Andrew were also here from the UK, and we had a great night. I hope I nobody minds that i point out that i won for the second time in a row now.....the challenge is down.
