Open sea!

Right now I'm on open sea - somewhere between Finland and Sweden.

I've had an amazing trip, I'm super proud of our B-team, they kicked ass, I got to pick mushrooms in a sunny Finnish forest and I got to acctually spend some time with friends and just stroll around in a city where they speak a language that is so strange I can't even guess what they are saying. I'm a big fan of Finnish culture, Only tells me I'd be a good Finn. I'm probably not good enough of a Finn to spend as much time at karaoke as they do.

This is the third night we have been at karaoke and I finally sang - Swedish child song - completely sober... And also an older Finnish lady asked me to dance with her, and I did that. Hopefully someone got pictures of that, you can't turn an old lady down, right? Especially not. When her husband is singing karaoke, some Finnish song.

Boats, bout, karaoke and walking in the forest...
And riding in Flukes very fancy car - I don't regret going to Finland this weekend, even if I missed out on watching all of Eastern regionals, but thanks to awesome friends I at least have been able to hear most of the scores from the most exciting games.

In Stockholm - guess what?! Skating!!

New purple Pure wheels

Me and Loony took my really dirty car to Stockholm yesterday, we left in time to attend Stockholm practice, and it was really good times. I love Stockholm rollerderby, one of my best friends from waaay back Husse plays on it, and I just have always had a really good connection with the team... It was the first team I ever got to coach - 3 years ago when I barley knew what I was doing myself. I like to think both me and Stockholm have gotten much better since then!

And SwedeVix just got some new outdoor wheels in, so I treated myself to a set of purple Pures ones - I wanted black ones, but Vix wouldn't let me... I am really excited to see if I will end up liking the Pures more than the Kryptos that I have been doing my outdoor skating on the past two years. My first set of outdoor wheels were Aerobics, and they made me feel like I was skating in some sort of goeyness... But Husse says she looooves them... Loony loves her Pures and I am still not swayed... I think I still would favor my Kryptos... but I'll give it a week or two before final judgement day!
We are staying at my mothers house outside Stockholm - and they have chickens, and this one little chickens mother left it, so my stepdad was trying to keep it warm, not cooking it alive...

It is for sure keeping warm
