Our last day in the mountains we spent fishing and just being lazy in the sun. We went to my favorite fire place just below “the hat” a few kilometers from the cabin. We fished for about 1 hour but the weather was too good and all the fishes were sleeping. Lunch was grilled sausage and Tom Yam soup with noddles. Hot hot hot, both the food and the weather. We got back to the cabin around 16.40 and started packing and cleaning the place. I had the cabin for another day but me and Jalle are going to a party today (saturday) in Bölebommen where we have to be at 16.00. That made it a bit tight to pack, clean the cabin, take a 5 hour drive, change for the party and get down to Bölebommen before 16.00.
In Kiruna I got the munchies for a pizza and we stopped next to OBS. The first pizzeria closed at 20.00 and the other couldn’t made any pizzas due to the chef had hurt his hand. I ended up with a souvas kebab. Very boring and very overpriced. The place was Bar E-10 in Kiruna and I cannot recommend the place to anybody. Grade: -2 (i.e. minus 2)!!
Got home around 00:15. Some quick unpacking of the food, rescuing some plants and then trying to cool down the bedroom so I could sleep. The house was WARM.
This was the last day on our mountain trip and it was very fun indeed. I enjoy the company of Jalle although I missed Johanna and Tovah up there. This was the first time I had been to the mountains without Johanna for 13 years.

Johanna
Johanna today said that she wants to move back to the house when she gets back to Luleå, at least for a while. It makes me so happy. Thanks Johanna đ
Wine Update
Tasted a new wine today and here is an updated wine list.
The grade is between 1 and 10.
Black Granite Shiraz 2002 (nr 22059) Initial taste was good wit ha strong after taste but the next glass didn’t taste too good. I won’t drink this one again if I don’t have to. 14.5% Grade: 2
Montecillo Crianza (nr 2643) Not too good. Tasted to much wine. 12.5% Grade: 4
Vin up Fragola (nr 12332) A sweet 4.5% italian sparkling strawberry wine. Very easy to drink but not a food wine. I enjoy drinking it a lot. Grade: 9
Chill Out Music Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 (nr 12098). Not very good wine. 14%. South Africa. Strong bitter taste. Not very easy to drink. Grade: 2
Primicia (nr 32410) A spanish 13% wine. I enjoyed this one very much, but I guess I have to try it again as it was the third bottle we opened that evening. Grade: 8
Château de Seguin (nr 3958) A french 12.5% wine with a soft taste, i.e. doesn’t taste to much. It was very easy to drink. Grade: 6
Jacob’s Creek Shiraz Cabernet (nr 2066) 13.5% wine from south Australia. Very good wine to the food (devils eggs). Easy to drink with a long after taste. Grade: 7
Day 5
Today we went for a long walk up to lake Gatterjávri. We had great weather and tons of wonderful views. I love the mountains. We ate lunch at the lake. Fish soup with hard bread and my sweat chocolate bread for dessert. We visited two mines during the day, one up at the lake and one just above Riksgränsen. The latter was an asbestos mine which was active around 1907 (I think it was). It is 30 meters deep, pitch black and filled with water. Cool! We got back around 19:30 and for dinner we had devils eggs, sliced potatoes baked in the oven and a tomato salad. To this we drank some wine. Dessert was melon.
A very nice day.
What a Day
I did absolutely nothing today! Watched TV, surfed, played Monopoly, ate leftovers, chatted. Didn’t even go outside.
Wow đ I am proud of myself. I managed to just be in the present.
Good News
I have some great news today. Johanna decided to start wearing her wedding ring again. Woohooo đ Johanna, I love you.
Snow movies
Day 4
Today me and Jalle decided to take it easy, a resting day. So far we have only been sitting in front of our computers, surfing, installing programs, looking at our digital photos, and talking. I have also been chatting with Johanna and had a rather interesting conversation with Tovah on the phone.
The weather is great. It is really warm and just some clouds. A perfect summer day. I am glad to be inside though as I have burned myself in the sun on the back of my head. I got a new haircut last week and got burned under the short hair on the back of the head. Not too bad but still nice to be inside today.
Soon we are going to eat lunch/dinner which today will be a combination of left overs.
