Today we went to the children health care centre for measurement and three year checkup. Tovah was healthy as a whatever and passed all the tests with honors. She got a tattoo for her efforts.
We continued down town where I bought a Lava Lamp. Finally, I have wanted one for the last 20 years. We bought at Cervera that is going out of business so it was on half price. Lunch on Waldorf. The rest of the day I spent working and during the evening we went on can hunt and passed by work. We met Ghyslain. It must have been at least 1 year since I saw him last. Also got the scanner today and I have just had time to install it during the evening and test scan one item, a cd.
Oh, I almost forgot, down town we went by Tradition and they had a sale on games. We bought Chez Dork and the EBay card game. We haven’t played any of the but they look “interesting”.

Hurghada, Egypt
I just finished putting captions on my Hurghada photos. Puuh. Hard work for a soft man.
Anyhow, during the afternoon the family went to the recycle market but we didn’t find anything worth anything and it was a bit cold and windy so we cycled directly home again. I must admit that I for some strange reason felt really agitated around lunch. I get like that from time to time. đ
Talking about lunch, today’s lunch was a vegetarian potato and cauliflower soup/stew with bread sticks. My knee still hasn’t healed. The evening we spent watching both episodes of “Virus i paradiset” and now it is time to go to bed.
Tomorrow, the chimney sweeper is coming. Between 07.30 and 09.30.

Gültzau
During the afternoon we took a bike ride to Gültzaudden and looked at the art in the wood. Though I and Tovah ended up looking more for cans, which we found 10.50 SEK worth. After a nice walk we took a quick drinking pause and continued to Norrbottens Museum to look at the Hideaki Sasaki installation. Here is a movie of it in action. We only got 15 minutes at the museum after which we played and looked at the art in the museum garden.
After a while in the museum garden we headed toward Kvantum in the rain and shopped. We were only going to buy some milk but as always ended up with tons of stuff. At home I made bread sticks and they were much better this time than the last.
I also added a few more scripts to my gallery. One for getting a random photo from the gallery. It can be seen on top of this page. Just reload to see another. Also added Top 10 viewed and Recently changed. The two latter will be added and integrated later.
I watched “Heist” and entered some captions for my Hurghada photos (not public yet).
Google is Cool – WebCalc
There are many cool things one can use Google for, like searching the web or just use it as a calculator đ
What’s Up?
It have been a bit quiet here for the last days and the reason is that I have started working again, only on one of my jobs Marratech but still. My work hours are dynamic at Marratech but the target value is 4 hours per day. Just working 4 hours per days is something new to me and I have a hard time relaxing in the afternoon without thinking about work issues. Or not really, I don’t think about the job but I have a hard time relaxing and just being. It only took one day to reach this “normal” state of mind again đ
My knee is getting better and now it only feels like a skin wound. Perhaps I can cycle today. That would be good as I feel rather restless and I have to do something physical.
Yesterday the terminator arrived and he found a nest in an old tree stump. He went to work on them with his poison and that should keep them away until the winter.
During the weekend we introduced Tovah to the concept of finding cans and returning them to the store. The first time we bought candy for the received money, but that turned out to be a huge mistake. The next time we went to the store all she wanted was to buy more candy. We convinced her that it might be better to save the can money and buy toys instead. We agreed on that on Saturday we would go to the toy store and see if we can buy a “fart bag” (“pruttkudd”). The deal includes that we double her money if she buys something else than candy. It seems to work. Yesterday afternoon we spent the walk to Björsbyn looking for bottles and cans and found about 10SEK worth.
Yesterday I ordered a scanner so I can scan all my old analog photos as well.
Now it is time for lunch, Chili con Carne. Catch you all later!
Midsummer Party 030620
This summer I attended one of the best parties ever, it was the midsummer party in Böle Bom. We were 12 persons in total and the party lasted 18 hours. Between 12 and 6 in the morning. Here are some photos taken by other people using Jalle’s camera.
My life is continuing
We didn’t end up doing much at all yesterday. We took a walk in the wood close to the house and the local playground where Tovah spun until she got dizzy. I also took a couple of movies of Tovah running and singing.
Today I actually decided to work a bit and I put up a new bug tracker for Marratech to replace the old Gnats system. We had initially decided on Bugzilla, but I never really got it working as I wanted. The new system selected is PHPBugTracker and it seems like it is just perfect for our needs.
My knee is feeling better, but I will continue resting today to make sure it gets healed up. It still hurts a bit when I stand up more than a few minutes.
The sun has come back and it is 24.7 degrees right now. Take a look at this temp curve. Now I am going to help Tovah fill up her out doors tub.

Photo Possessed
Organizing ones photos is fun but there are so many đ A nice thing with having some meta data attached to them is that you can make nice searches. Here is some: Tovah, Spirit, Burley, Peter, Teknikens Hus, Pooh, and Tiger.
SInce my last post I have added Misc March to June and 122 photos and a movie from Magnus Berglund’s 30 year party.
So what have I done besides playing with my photos. Yesterday we had a really relaxing day. I was resting my knee so we stayed home. This morning I woke up at 8 which was before Tovah. I am catching up with my sleep needs. The girls woke up around 9 and we spent the next hour by me reading out loud from my current book, “Ont Blod”. Not the most perfect Tovah book but she enjoyed it for at least 30 minutes. Ended up in front of the computer and it might be time for breakfast?!
Unfortunately, it looks the autumn is approaching. It is getting colder. The SUN is out but it is only 16 degrees đ It is also getting dark at night. Luleå where I live has had the most sun hours of all cities in Sweden though. We have had a great summer.
Haven’t decided what we are going to do today.
