last night with clara
This is from the small farewell party we had with Clara at Carmen. It was a nice evening. Now she's goin' to England and then back home to Brazil. I'll miss her...
malte in his brand new pool
Malte totally enjoyed his brand new pool. He got it from his parents during the midsummer holiday. Great stuff!
fredsgatan12
Thursday night - went to Fredsgatan 12 with some friends and I actually managed to have some fun! Maybe it's not that bad...
stkhlm
...another Stkhlm by night picture... but the guys sitting on the railing to the left in the picture made me a bit nervous...

deep throat
Today I met Fiskis own Deep Throat in his favourite secret place at Holmen and got some serious info about the state of Fiskis. So put your seat belts on and listen...
-There's a war going on between the Somalis and the Turks in Fiskis. One Somali was stupid enough to stab a well known and well connected Turk with a knife. Bad move! Now the Turks want revenge.
-Youth gangs in Fiskis totally demolished a police car. What did the police do? Well, they called a Mr E in Fiskis and asked him to speak with the kids and ask them why they did it... really impressive police work...
-The most well-known hobo in Fiskis is in deep shit. He has managed to annoy almost everyone. In local media they write that he has assaulted a fourteen year old girl. That's not the whole trouth. The girl was part of a youth gang that harassed him. Five times this summer Mr Hobo has been beaten up by the youth gangs. And since the time Mr Hobo drove his car through the window at the local pub no-one really cares. Now people start to doubt that he will survive the summer if he persists to stay in Fiskis.
-Salvan has been filed for bankruptcy. The owners celebrated that by totally smash the place to pieces after taking away everything of value. Now I have to go to Eastside for my beers. I also have to look out for Mr Hobo so he don't run through the window with his big old Hobo truck again.
Damn - Deep Throat really knows the good stuff! Fiskis rules!
midsummer
This is the midsummer sky above Holmen. Midsummer is my favourite holiday. Spent some of it in the grass at Holmen reading chapter seven - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - in Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. It's one of the most beautiful texts I've ever read.
"In midmost of the stream, embraced in the weir's shimmering armspread, a small island lay anchored, fringed close with willow and silver birch and alder. Reserved, shy, but full of significance, it hid whatever it might hold behind the veil, keeping it till the hour should come, and, with the hour, those who were called and chosen."
The Piper referred to in this chapter is the Great God Pan.
holmen
Summer holidays in Fiskis are usually spent down at Holmen. Today it was 19 degrees centigrade in the water. I hope it will get warmer soon, but it was good enough for a short swim.
the christening of malte
This is it! Aunt Stina helps out while mum Johanna, dad Andreas and grandpa/priest Kjell are totally blinded by Maltes charm. Well done Malte!
little malte
This is a fast preview of the brand new Nils Malte Nilsson. After this we'll go back to the beginning of the day. So - follow me - let's go to Ålands Kyrka outside Uppsala.

the "original" malte
There will soon be plenty of pictures from Maltes christening on this blog so I think this is a good time to present the "original" Malte. He was a really cool man and a totally excellent grandfather. We all miss him a lot so I'm very happy that we have one brand new little Nils Malte Nilsson with us now.
time travel seven
I'll buy a beer to the first one who recognize this party dude! Not that hard... I was stupid enough to give you all a maxi big clue...
time travel five
Per & Jesper down at Roskilde. I think this is from the Upplands tour 90 or 91... my memories are so blurred... damn you Roskilde!
time travel four
This is Marja and me. I think it's 90 or 91... not sure... It's from a bbq we had at Fyrisån outside Old Uppsala. All of us that worked at Upplands had a lot of fun together back then.
time travel two
Hahahahahahahaha.... this is two years later, 1986. Me and my friend Michel went to Paris that summer. This is in front of the mirror at the Youth Hostel. Boy how I wanted to look like David Bowie or Christopher Walken... or - as Maria suggested - a Monchichi. I'm not absolutely sure... but isn't Christopher Walken a bit cooler than a Monchichi?
time travel one
Wow! Am I a good lookin' boy?! This is way back in 83 or 84. I'm just 18 years old and super serious! It's my Japan/David Sylvian period - but I think that's rather obvious.

me & a beer
I definitely enjoyed my beer. Eventhough I'm no big fan of Carlsberg... It's probably not the worlds greatest beer...
skåningen
Most of Friday night I spent at Skåningen. They had some kind of jubilee party with cheap drinks and entertainment. It was fun.
rålambshovsparken
Is this street art, graffiti or an act of terrorism? It kind of looks like the face of that super annoying guy in the total crap pop band Nic & the Family so maybe it is terrorism...

the fisksätra power plant
Michaela hangin' in front of the Fisksätra power plant... That place is almost as much fun as Salvan...
speed diver
Tried my luck today & jumped into Lundsjön. The water wasn't warm, but not really cold either... maybe 18 degrees centigrade... not that bad...
the cat returns
I saw a really nice Studio Ghibli movie called The Cat Returns yesterday. Not the best Studio Ghibli movie I've seen, but better than most animated movies today. I think my neighbour Big Fat Cat likes it too...

leprechaun
This crazy little leprechaun is totally lost and I can't stand his constant singin' any longer...
segersta
This is the view from my cousin Anders place. The big white house in the background is owned by Sweden's own Montgomery Burns, Sören Gyll. Excellent!

dizzy fiskis
Finally on my way home. The sun is shining and something's weird with Fiskis and the buildings. I better close my eyes and run...
lone gunman
Time to say goodbye to my brother. Just half an hour left of his guard duty. But I'm too tired to stay. Need my bed.
the boat club
This is the Fiskis boat club five in the morning. I'm drunk, hungry and tired. But it's beautiful, isn't it!
guard duty
Back home in Fiskis half past three in the morning. Visited my brother down at the boat club. He had his guard duty.
dj albion & marie laveau
Albion played some great music last night at Marie Laveau. I had a night of heavy drinkin' and crazy dancin'. It hurts really bad to have fun... ouch!
