i'm back home. at last. the pup and i packed our things and a load of stones and started driving home sunday (the husband is staying the entire week). after 10 km the car broke a spark plug and had to be parked at the closed camping place in fällfors and we had to walk back to the cottage in the warm shiny sun. the husband and his father spent the entire monday finding someone to fix it again. and today it was fixed so the pup and i could drive home tonight.

we've had a nice weekend at the cottage.
* we found two dead birds and buried them in the river.
* the pup rolled in the smelly liquid from a fermented herring tin. so we had to wash him with washing-up liquid and river water. he is still shinier than ever. i wonder if it was the fermented herring or the washing-up liquid that did it...
* the husband and the father in law took off the old roof of our cottage and then it started to rain.
* driving home i was tired and wanted to sleep before i had even reached umeå, so i stopped at at little gas station to go for a walk and buy coca cola and chocolate and a cd with music i could sing along to (the radio doesn't work). they only had opera and old peoples' music and a triple box with hits from the 90´s. so i've been screaming "nono nononono nononono nono there's no limit!" and whispered "ice ice baby" to keep me awake :)

now i'm in the sofa with the cats purring around me. we had left them at home, as i was only supposed to be away two days...  ¶ 10:33 PM
