just a quick one (i'm at work, feeling guilty for using the internet for private matters...)

* i'm alive
* we live in sollefteå now
* the landlord from nyland has threatened to sue us, because he claims that we have destroyed the windowsils and wallpapers. as i know we haven't it's quite exciting. i've never been sued before. i wonder if leif silbersky can defend us... but of course it's a bit sad too. if he actually thinks we've destroyed the apartment he must be really upset with us for refusing to admit it. and if he knows we haven't he must be lying, which is even worse...
* my vacation started out a bit badly (see earlier post), but turned out to be great. the sun has been shining and it's been the warmest summer i can remember. we spent (about) one week at the cottage, one week at my parents' and one week moving. because of the great weather the vacation feeling stayed about two weeks after i started working again. after work we spent the evenings in the garden and on the balcony
* yesterday the weather decided to go back to more normal summer weather, with grey skies and rain. but after such a long warm summer it's almost nice
* i've bought a new wallet. i've been looking for one for years, as the old one was falling apart. and finally, at a big market in piteå last weekend, i found a nice one to replace it with. i really like the new one, but it feels sad to finally have to say goodbye to the old one... he's going to get a new home in a drawer beside my bed

hopefully we'll be connected to the net again sometime towards the end of this week. moving our internet connection is a funny (or irritating, depending on how you look at things) story. there was no problem moving the phone (same company as the adsl). but i've had to order a move of the adsl at least 5 times, and they still haven't been able to confirm that the order has actually been received. the best they could do was to tell us that "it looks like something is going to happen the 17th of august", but that "something" could be anything. i'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll soon have internet in our little white house on the hill :)  ¶ 5:22 PM
