"Det finns inget dåligt väder......"

There is a saying in Sweden that says "there's no bad weather, only bad clothes".

That might go for Sweden, but Dublin this weekend has had baaaaaaaaaaaaad weather.
No clothes in the world would make people go outside unless they absolutely had to.
The whole week was fine with sunny skies and high temperatures. But as soon as we got to the weekend the skies opened up and the rain started pouring down.

When driving on the M50 on Saturday we had to slow down to 50km/h because we could not see the road ahead of us if we went any faster. It ws quite scary.

We will porbably have synny skies tomorrow again as the working weeks starts and we are nablew to enjoy it. =(

Update

I have been trying to download pictures from our holiday for the past three days and only managed to get one.
Don't know whats wrong with the program but it seems impossible to get any more pictures downloaded.

Anyway, we started the holiday with a crafish party.
From then on it was a busy schedule from swimming in the pool, jumping on the trampoline, shopping for swedish food, going to Skansen to having a garden party on the Friday before we went back to Dublin again.

We had a fantastic time in Sweden. I never realised how beatiful our country is until now. You learn to appreciate the good things when you are not around all the time.

After a busy 10 days we returned home to Dublin and work. Month end came up the first week back and was crazy busy as expected.

Now things have returned to normal and I will keep up better with the blog from now on.

Until we meet again.....

Back in Dublin

Hello All,

We are back in Dublin, but it has been madness in work and I haven't updated this blog in a loooooong time.

I promise to post some nice holiday pictures and comments tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Be patient, please.

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?
