Friday

Tovah woke up around 8.45 and for the first time in a week I actually was already awake before her. I had been reading for a full 5 minutes. Got up, showered, had breakfast and waited for the terminator. At 10.15 I gave up and called Anticimex and they tell me "Yeah, I was just about to call you. The terminator cannot make it today and the next opening is on Tuesday." Thanks for not calling me earlier.

Installed the Anki & Pytte, the bottle cap hunting game. Tovah was thrilled and sat with it until 11.30 when it was high time to head out for the Molly Maguire concert. We packed up and then it happened. On the way down the hill next to Erisoft/TietoEnator I had bit too high speed and and when I braked at the end of the hill I fell. OUCH. I banged up my bike, bent the disc on the rear brake, and worst of all I banged my right knee. Tovah was in the bike cart and she just looked up and continued to read her book. Not to worried about her dad. We headed up to work and cleaned the wound and headed down town.

We got to the concert 30 minutes after it started and the acoustics were so bad so it was much better to listen to them from the middle of the park. Anyhow, we got tired of them after 5 minutes and bought some lunch. Langos times two. I got a Bomba and Johanna a Vegitarian. They were quite good but rather fat. Tovah got a lollipop from the Langos maker which she consumed with high energy after lunch.

After lunch we went for a walk and waited for the childrens' circus that was going to start at 14.00, but know what? They cancelled it :-( This was Tovah's high today so we ended up on the playground just next to the scene. Johanna didn't join us until 15.20 so we spent 1.5 hours there. As the circus was cancelled there was a kind of flash mob on the play ground which was really crowded. Tovah slid down the high slide that is for children 6 years or older. Tovah is 3 and she loved it and she played on the "cycle train".

We got home and quickly prepared for Sonja's 30 year party. We had some very good sandwich layer-cake. Sonja got a home made necklace that Johanna had made for her. On the way home Tovah showed me some new ways of riding her stroller.

I have been publishing my photos immediately instead of once a month and today's bunch starts here with a picture of my favorite jeans, now ruined.

All in all it has been yet another nice day with the family. It is nice to have them home :-)
