Idag har inte varit en helt vanlig dag. Idag har vi firat storpojken, Pelle, 5 ar! Hurra! Solen stralade och vi begav oss till stranden pa morgonen och stannade hela dagen. Det var kompisar och batar och godis och tarta och krabbor och vatten och glass och allt man kan onska sig. Det var en fantastisk dag.

Today was not just any old day. We have celebrated our big boy, Pelle, 5 years old! The sun was shining and we went off to the beach early in the morning and stayed there all day long. The day was filled with friends, boats, lollies, crabs, water, ice cream and everything you can possibly wish for. It has been a fantastic day!

Nu har det regnat & regnat & regnat och jag har shabblat till det lite med byran som skulle vara klar "dagen efter" jag bloggade sist... ojsan hoppsan. Sa, sahar ser det ut just nu!

It has been raining raining and raining AND I have made a booboo with the dresser at the top of it so the end resultat that were to be presented has been delayed. This is what it looks like right now.

Camping & Kopparbergs

We - me and Jesse - got the Friday night to ourselves so we took off, boat in tow to Cascade Dam which is located at the back off the township of Derby. It was an extraordinary happy friday especially since I had earlier discovered that the local bottle shop sells the most beautiful Swedish ciders called Kopparbergs. I got so excited I said to the young guy at the counter "Oh, I am so excited, they're from Swedish". He just smiled.

Vi - alltsa Jesse och jag, hade fredagen till oss sjalva - grabbsen hos farmor och farfar - sa vi begav oss med bat bakom oss till Cascadedammen som ligger utanfor Derby. Det var en extratrevlig tillstallning da jag tidigare upptackte att den lilla flaskbutiken (dom kallas ju sa "bottle shop") saljer Kopparbergs cider (mmm, paron ar ju som Piggelin pa flaska - mums!). Jag blev sa otroligt glad att jag utbrast: "Oh, I am so excited, they're from Swedish". Han bara log lite overseende.

The most beautiful split tree stem I ever seen - like mosaic.

Dom gar ut pa jakt hela dagarna och sen kommer dom och jamar framat kvallsningen. Sover sedan ihop i en klump eller i min och Jesses sang som forstahandsval - om dom blir utslangda gar dom till Max och sistahandsvalet ar Dinos sang. Pelle sover ju pa ovre plan i vaningssangen sa dit tar dom sig inte.

They go out hunting together all day then come back in the evenings miaowing to get in, get fed and then fall aslep in a pile. If they are lucky their first choise is in Jesse's and my bed. If they get kicked out the go to Maxie boys bed and their last bed is Dinos. Pelle is on the second storey sleeping in the bunk bed you see so he gets left alone up there.
