Annual advent coffee with my grandfather


Talking with wy grandfather is a fun thing. When I came to pick him and his girlfriend up he took one look at the car and said "The car huh.. oh well, I was hoping for the Harley". He´s a funny guy.

Being 80 years old he's got a lot to tell. If you get him to talk about his life that is, he's not as fascinated about that as I am. He's also probably the only one thats, for some reason, truly proud of me so I wasnt going to show him my tattoo just yet. Didnt think he like it at all. Thought I ease that news in slowly mixed up in some conversation. Torkel my mother boyfriend thought differently (he's not getting any xmas presents). My grandfather looked a bit worried at me and asked to see the tattoo. He looked at it and let out a sigh of relief and said 'well thats a nice tattoo Issan, its not a Frölunda logo' follow by a big big smile. Frölunda is the hockeyteam I support, my grandfather supports another team hence his relief

Dancing


Time for bed so the kids pulls the oldest tricks in the book by trying to distract me with showing some interest in what Im doing which is listening to music. With a very serious face Joppan declares that Sweet emotions by Aerosmith is her favorite song in the world and then the dance is on in full speed

Gingerbreadhouse




The kids parents are out on town to eat a bit with friends, so Joppan, Jonte and me decided to fix this years gingerbreadhouses.

Eurythmics - The miracle of love


I absolutely loved Eurythmics growing up. Got every record they made (including the first not so very good one) This is one of my favorite songs (It´s this and Here comes the rain again). There´s a number of artists I would like to hear doing a cover of this. The best version of the song Eurythmics ever made is the one they ended the consert in Sydney with on the Revenge Tour. Couldnt find a clip of that, sorry
