Sweden, here I come

Tomorrow the long awaited holiday starts.
I hope the flight goes smooooooothly. It's my biggest worry, that there's gonna be a "bumpy road". I don't like flying, but what can you do? Suck it up and get on the plane if you want to meet the family.

I am looking forwad to meeting all the family. It's been quite a while since we met.
My brother caught me on Facebook and we decided to meet up for a couple of beers in the pub, without the rest of the family, and just catch up.
It will be good, we haven't seen eachother in a few years now.

Talk to you soon.

FADIA

Imorgon förmiddag bär det av till Sverige, eller Fadia som Sean säger när han försöker prata svenska. Stackars barn. Vi har nog tagit ifrån honom ett språk han kunde ha fått alldeles gratis.
Jag och Alexandra måste bli bättre med Nate. Barn vet ju inte att det är två språk man pratar och därför ser de inte heller svårigheten i att lära sig lika betydelse för olika ord.
Jag hoppas och ber att Sean ska kunna få med sig lite mer svenska från vistelsen i sverige nu när han måste göra sig förstådd med grabbarna och Nike i sverige.
Problemet är ju att de flesta barn i sverige redan pratar llite engelska från tidig ålder och de tycker nog det är cool med en fyra-åring som pratar flytande engelska.
Har stämt träff med min bror för en kväll på stan med ett par öl och skitsnack. Ska bli kul.
Vi får se om det blir tid för några inlägg eller inte.
Sköt om er tills vi hörs igen.

Dentists in Ireland (not Irish) - "Just get rid of it"

I do not understand the mentality of the dentists I have visited here in Ireland.
The must be sponsored by companies that produce falce teeth.

In Sweden the most important thing for a dentist is to save your natural teeth, here they just want to extract any tooth they get their hands on. I'm stunned.

I am hoping to be able to book appointments with a dentist in Sweden to get my mouth sorted out by a professional. It seems impossible to find one here. I have asked around and even Irish people seem to think it is OK to just pull out whatever is bothering you.

Hopefully I can schedule appointments with a dentist in Sweden and get my teeth done, even if it will cost me a small fortune. I'm not insured in Sweden and would have to pay in full. But it would be worth it to get proper dental care.

Know a good dentist in Västerås?

Flybussar, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Jag har letat online efter flygbussarna mellan Arlanda och Västerås.
Transfer between Stockholm and Västerås, what a hassle.
Länken säger "rikstäckande flygbussar" men när man går in och försöker titta på tidtabell och bokning får man bara välja alternativ inom Stockholms kommun. Vilken soppa.
Har mailat dem och frågat efter tidtabell men inte fått något svar ännu.
Fingers crossed I'll get answer so that me and Gary can get to Västerås without problems.

Off they went


A couple of hours ago Alexandra, Sean and Nate arrived in Västerås, Sweden.
We haven't talked much but it seemed the flight was alright according to what Gary told me.
Sean was then asleep in the car while they were approaching Cornelia's and Björn's house.
I'll have a better talk with them tomorrow

Gary has cleaned the house. He's a happy young man now that the kids (including Alex) can't make a mess for nearly two weeks.
I'll try to keep it up to standard so he doesn't get upset with me =).

I will update tomorrow.
