02-07-00:

Started the day with a drive to the airstrip. It turned out to be a bit too windy for my 9-month recess of flying. Oh well, it will always get calmer closer to dinnertime. I did some ground manoeuvres just to get the feeling back. YES, the wind is decreasing...what...hm, something wet is hitting me in the face..."What was that you said?...Aha, rain!!" Of course! I forgot that I'm in SWEDEN. Nothing more to do, than get in to the car and drive back to Stockholm again. I actually continued on to my house, where I am now.

05-07-00

It's about time I wrote something!! Have been to my house and dealt with stuff...as it says above i see! My car failed the roadworthiness test a lot. >:( Got some gardening done anyway. Now I shall hit the streets with a friend from Australia. Tomorrow I'm off to Åmål to shoot a jazz-festival. Hoping for good weather! Oh! Had a haircut today!

10-07-00

Fun weekend, but very tiresome. Weird working positions on stage at Åmål soul festival (not Jazz festival, as I wrote earlier). The last day consisted of 14 hours work, with short pauses. That makes the camera weigh tonnes. Today I just got the last package that I sent here from Australia. A package of nostalgia you can say! Corrals from Magnetic Island, sea-shells from New Zealand, Wood art from the Queensland outback and a lot more. Going to a friend's birthday-get-together tonight.

Went on a work interview this morning. Then it was straight up to my house after packing EVERYTHING! Tomorrow Adam is coming here to help me deal with transporting dead trees to the woods. Hmm...better clean the house!

17-07-00

G'day! Adam and I managed to get half the work done when he was here (respect pointing towards Adam there!). We also managed to get some uni-stuff done. Today I had my first session in the woods "cleaning" some sections of young trees...in the RAIN >:( Grrr, it has been raining almost EVERY day the latest week. I HATE IT!! It destroys my planes big time! And my Ferrari gets all muddy when driving it to work too!

18-07-00

Aah, another tasty meal down the throat. Yesterday I (stupid enough) went for a bike ride (33 k's). This morning started with a painful forest work-session in the moist with VERY sore knees. Now I am a bit tired. I think I'll soak in some Java syntax before bedtime.

19-07-00

What a day! Got my EGR-valve in my car tested and confirmed "go". That saved approx. aus$280, phew! And I have been offered a test employment at that company I went to an interview, YES!!!

20-07-00

The morning offered a less good feeling! After that I've been applying window putty for a few hours. REALLY interesting! My cousins invited me for dinner, where I once again got the opportunity to show some Oz-photos. (Not all the 600+ ones this time :)) It was nice to catch up with them again, and one of my uncles that I don't see that often as well. By the way, check this out: Most handy computer I've seen in a while!

21-07-00

Got my SAAB's hole in the frame fixed. Did some painting. Now I'm of to Stockholm for the weekend. Now I REALLY would like some flyable weather!!!

23-07-00

Hello everybody! Bauer is back in da house! The stay in Stockholm was very successful! Cilla and I got the tricky part of our assignment done, which consisted of meeting personnel from the subway, and go with them (turned out to be a he, and a very cooperative one too!) in the drivers cabin. Cool! I managed to get some paragliding done AT LAST! Only start and landing practise in a ski-slope, but that was badly needed. Guess what!? It's raining >:(

25-07-00

Howdy! Rain again! This farming business is going down the drain big time. I managed to get some parts of the painting project ground-painted this morning before the rain started. Yesterday Björn and his girlfriend stopped by on their way to the wild wild west here in Sweden. Tonight have been occupying me with some assignment writing.

27-07-00

Hmmmmm! They said that the weather would be fine this weekend. Now Sunday is all cloudy in my region >:( It better be some paragliding done any way this weekend as I am planning to go to Orsa! Did some painting today. I FINALLY got my car through the roadworthiness test after a total of three visits and a lot of money later, sigh!

30-07-00

YYYYEEEES!! At last! Got some flights done with my parapante! The weather finally got it in to it's slow brain that we want to se the sun >:I Tomorrow Bruce is coming here to my house. That is going to be great fun!
