Last weeks news


The past week has been quite hectic and filled with surprises. 
Last Friday I went to the movies to see the premiere of a new Swedish movie (Morgan Pålsson, världsreporter - for my Swedish readers) made by my two favorite comedians. It was thier first movie, after years of TV and live shows (Hipp Hipp). I think they did a great job with the movie. The caracter they used for the movie isn't my favourite amonst all the caracters they have done, but I enjoyed the movie.
It was long hours at work and a few strange projects this week. The worst project I got this week I got on Thursday at about 10.30 in the morning, and the costumer had to have it on Friday... leaving me with about four hours to start and finish it!! It was a big half pallet display. And guess what - I made it!!?
Earlier that same morning I received my official invitation to the Paralympics in Beijing in September. I am selected as one of three international table officials for the Wheelchair Rugby. The rest of the group will come out of my students I've been to China to educate.
It's going to be such a great experience to go to Beijing. I'm so happy, honoured and excited!
Yesterday was a girls night out. Eleven of us started the evening with a very interesting winetasting and continued to a resturant for some great food and after that to the local pub. Late at night, or you can say very early this morning I lumbered home...
It put a great end to a day that hadn't been that great.. I decided to borrow the washing machine at work to wash some clothes. My plan was to wait until most people had left for the day, but for some reason I got the machine going a bit earlier than planned. About half an hour later they came running for me... The machine I was using was broken, and had been broken the last few months... and the only three not knowing that was myself and the two I had spoken to about borrowing it... So, now we stood there with water up to the ankles!! It was the company we chare building with that noticed the devastation when the water come in to them from under the walls... For the next 30 minutes there was about six of us trying to get rid of the water!! We left the buildning with all the doors open and a fan to dry it all... 
I put my laundry in the RIGHT machine and finally it was washed and dry!!
I felt relieved that I didn't stuck to my plan to do the washing after everyone left... =) 

This weekend I spend doing the last preparations for my trip to Cape Town. 
It is very close now... In a weeks time I'm in the air and on my way... =)
