Week 7

It was a busy week. Indeed, it was a busy week. It was such a busy week that I completely forgot to post a news-post about it. So here it is now, two weeks later, the hopefully only time this year that I'll post three weekly posts in one day, right after each other. Anyhow, let's start this trilogy with a reference to my Knifes post. I went to sleep, I woke up, and I drove away to the airport with my dad, boarded the plane and slumbered my way through white clouds and a slow sunrise. It was a very pleasant flight, despite the rough winds that kept throwing themselves against the plane, making it tumble around in the sky. The pilots did a great job landing the thing and we only arrived twenty minutes late. I didn't even notice the plane had been delayed until my brother (waiting at the airport) told me. When I stepped into the small building at Östersund I was greeted with free food/drink and a heart-shaped hand-warmer. I managed to get two of those, from different dealers. :P (if you're wondering why they gave free stuff at the airport, just keep reading, I'll explain that soon).

Anyhow, the sun shone dimly and the ground was covered by a thick layer of snow, and despite the fine weather the wind blew fiercely. The World Cup in skiing/shooting was near to being canceled this day due to the fierce winds on the way, they shifted in due time though. It's the first year a World Cup is held in Östersund, so the whole town was decorated with nice lights, snow sculptures and various other fine decorations. It was a much more living place than the previous times I had been there. During my one week stay we :

- Went out walking with a dog (Mishan) that Ingrid (a friend of David, my brother) owns... three times
- Went on long walks, sightseeing, shopping, exercising
- Went skiing in the wilderness, made a fire, ate sausages/bananas/bread/etc
- Watched the world cup (got free tickets, worth 160KR a piece, from someone my brother knew)
- Cleaned Ulla-Brittas living room (a friend of Davids, old, unable to clean houses properly anymore, a real nice person) in exchange for food
- Packaged a few tables (ix-Boll, a game my brother has created and is selling to various schools around the country, it's heavy and in symmetrical manually/machine-made pieces)
- Played a few tower defense games (apparently my brother has become addicted to these)
- Flew down mountains at 200 km/h in sleds (not really that fast, but it was fun)
- Tested a few of his newer inventions
- Watched The Alamo
- Etcetc

I probably forgot to mention the most important events, but w/e, nevertheless we had a great time despite my sleeping on soft mushy sleep-deprivating crappy (not literally) madrases. I might be returning there sometime this summer to paint a house with my bro, for big $$$. It's a big house, too. Would take about a week. Anyhow, this is what this now passed week consisted of. The end.
