Eager to get moving...

So. Back from Italy. Also means from 25-28 degrees and sun to about 18-19 degrees and clouds and rain. Well you cannot have everything. It has been long now and the 1st of May actually was 1 year at my job. Time to look for a new one. Time to move on.
Not sure if that means back to Sweden or another job here in the Netherlands but anyway a new job. Internet at home is not sorted yet, and I know that some of you have not heard from me in a while now. I will try to make it up as soon as things come together and sorts themselves out. Hopefully by Monday (21st May) I can start calling people. Until then...patience.

Finally it rained.

5 weeks! First day of rain in 5 weeks was on Monday. Everything became a lot greener instantly. So far no new news. For people that want to know no Internet for me yet but it is on it's way. Planning summer vacation also seems like it is going to be in August this year. I really will try to take enough time to meet all you people in Uppsala. I miss you. Also have started to see if I can refresh my programming skills and to learn some Java in the process. So far it seems pretty easy. The C++ I had during university makes it a lot easier and Java seems to be more straight forward. Applications for new jobs are also high on the priority list. Even though my colleagues are nice and the atmosphere is good I need more for 6 years of university.

One step closer...

...so. 28. Yesterday. Shit. A nice birthday indeed. Did not do anything. Work is normal. Life is normal. This weekend we were at Keukenhof, the Disneyland of flowers. The weather was amazing. 25 degrees and sun. Not a single cloud in the sky.....and it was 15th of april.... O_o
Felt like June. Anyway. It was very nice and I hope my skin started to notice that the vampire color was not in fashion in this kind of weather and that it was time to start changing to a darker more appropriate color for the summer.

Spring time!

Ohh well. Let's see. Hmm? Did not...hmm? Write in a while. For some reason? Well time again I guess. This weekend was Easter, in fact it is still Easter Monday. Saturday was spent at the Zoo in Emmen were all the animals were thouroughly looked at so none of them felt left out. Especially thouroughly observed was the hippoes. Well maybe not by me...but by someone else you might know. Sunday was brunch and walking in town. In Groningen they have a Cafe called Pepper that I like alot. The music is relaxed and the atmosphere is cool. They usually show music videos or nature pictures on beamers in the place wich makes it interessting also going there by yourself if you understand what I mean.

Next weekend holds Keukenhof, I think. We will see.

One small addition.

Just wanted to say I added a link with a song that makes me long back to times gone by. Wonderful memories in Uppsala and wonderful memories of my student time. However time cannot be stopped and sometimes memories are good as memories. I mean it. Probably some of the memories would not be special if time did not go forward. To all of you, old friends out there, to my family, to special people and to present friends. And to you my angel.

A few days of spring...

For a few days Amsterdam have had weather worthy of the name spring. Bright clear blue skies and about 15 degrees around noon. Cannot remember the last time, unfortunately the memory is short when it rains almost every day. Today Sunday morning the lord is greeting us to a new day of traditional Dutch weather (look, I am unfair to this country and I believe that the Dutch people think the same as me sometimes). A co-worker usually turns to me and sais: "Stop complaining in the Netherlands we grow men!" Well in Sweden we do to but we do not need rain to do so.

Anyway a few days of spring is all that is needed to get the mood in a better shape. Will be moving to a new apartment soon. Sineing the contract on Tuesday and hope we can start to move in the week after. Also need the salary, my wallet is starving. Thought I would try to put some warm color on this grey day. Let's see if this image does the trick.

A Visit to Sweden with surprises...

So. Weekend in Sweden with a big surprise. Basically we were going to see my niece's baptism and my brother asked me to take pictures in church. I said well I can do that and got a fast film since I did not have a flash on my SLR-camera.
However, coming home I realised that I had a "slide-film" in the camera and did not want to waste it and asked my father for advice. He said well you can always save the fast one for another occasion. We looked at each other and said: "For his wedding!!" And laughed.
Well before the baptism I kind of needed to change film anyway so I did. Then when the first chord on the organ played I realised that that was exactly what I had been doing. With the 'Bride March' playing my brother, dresses in mess uniform, and his fiance, dressed in a lovely white dress with dark red ornaments, walked up the ile. We had all been fooled. Only 5 persons knew about them getting married at the same time, themselves, my sister, my sisters boyfriend and the priest. It was a very beautiful wedding. Of course my nice was baptised also. I hope to be able to put some pictures to this text in the weekend or after the weekend.
