Yay, so on thursday i jumped on the trainline and made a weird and in places wonderful trip to a place called Linköping, which is pronounced Lin-Shore-ping, which i found out when asked by the train conductor and confusing her by saying lin-co-ping, or whatever i said, hehehe. It was a bit of a trek, almost three hours on the train, and i still cant find where i was on any maps, though i havent really looked that hard, i have a feeling its kinda south south west of stockholm, a bit, and the place was as far as i could tell kinda boring. There was a really big church though, that it seemed you could see the steeple from wherever you were, which made a good point of reference for when i got lost. I did find some nice gardens as well, not that big, but quite pretty, and of course in total ben style, when i tried to take a photo of this monstous church, my camera ran out of batteries, so i took a couple on my phone.
I'm trying to get the bluetooth on this computer to work at the moment so i can put them up on here. if this computer has bluetooth...
One of the places i passed on the train i cant remember the place, but i really wanted to get off and have a look around cos it was so beautiful, it was on either a huge lake or some inland sea, cos you couldnt see land on the other side and it had islands in the middle, and on the train it just looked magic. Reason i didnt get off was i was having real problems staying awake. On the train to Linköping i was asleep almost the whole way, and on the way back same deal. Not sure what it is but i have been really tired this week,
So i was going to have an early night on thursday but got invited up to one of the girls who works with Nads place which is 2 floors above me to play Wii!!! hooray, on a projector onto the wall and everything. Whilst there met some other scouting people from the area and had a good night, with so much ice cream and lollies i was on a sugar high when i left later that night. And whilst there one of the other girls from Nads office Ellen invited me to a birthday breakfast for her yesterday She turns 21 on Monday and had a couple of us around to her place for a breaky! So i brought some vegemite i have with me to let them try it, and see if they liked it. They didnt of course, lol, and said it tasted like beer. I found that strange, but they dont drink, so ... it is made from yeast extract! teehee.
The breakfast was great, had a good chat in basic english which apparently is good for them as they get to practice their english speaking, which is pretty cool, especially as i have no hope of understanding swedish, its such a weird sounding language to me anyway, if unsure just go to ikea and check out the swedish words, they have letters like öäå and some others i cant find on this keyboard..
So the breakz mainlz consisted of bread and cheese and egg and some salad tzpeproducts, aswell as muslie and milk, and i had to try some type of yogurt that was describd to me as a thinner yogurt kind of like 'sour milk'' and i can tell you, it is like drinking off milk, i dont get it, so i think it was a bit of a trade off between the off milk and the vegemite! teehee,
breaky went from about 9 till 11 and then everyone went to work, so i came home and went back to bed, i then slept for 5 hours, man i was tired, and then i had a sort of early night last night, and am going to have a nap again this afternoon i think. i just worked out how to relax! and i'm going to get as much in this weekend, as well as a walk to the lake i hope this arvo, its about a 3 hour round trip roughly, so i'd prefer to find someones bike to borrow to cut that time by about 2/3rds, 😊
at the moment i'm washing some clothes, very exciting 😊
and then back to england on tuesday, and 11 days till turkey! hooray!
love ya all
