Wherever I lay my hat, it's home.

I wonder if it is true for Icelandic people then....*wonders*

A walk along memory lane...

A few years ago I was on a very nice trip together with my ex girlfriends family to Iceland. A few days ago I found that the Swedish newspaper 'Dagens Nyheter' had a very nice piece of photographs from Iceland together with music by Sigur Ros. I added it in the links to the right because I like it and it reminds me of a country/island with great nature and a sense of wilderness that is hard to beat. It was also great fun going with her family since they are very curious, energetic and positive people. Anyhow a good memory coming back as I see the slide show on 'DN'.

Enjoy!

Newsflash!

So I am sitting here in Amsterdam at work. The sun is shining outside, a beautiful summer day. And then all of a sudden life gets even better as I get to know my little sister (well not so little anymore, 25 in November) has gotten engaged with her boyfriend which I now need to call fiance. I wish I could be there to hug her. Anyhow. Life takes yet another enjoyable step, the sky is blue, the birds are singing and I continue working.

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.
