Day 10
... too good a job of integrating myself into Swedish society (although I draw the line at a few things, for example all the inflexible traditions - the rebel in me just has to eat my split pea soup on a day other than Thursday). But I've at least had a chance to observe people and remember how I used to be and how I still can be if I consciously choose to do so. I can take all the things I like about the eccentric, friendly English and all ...
Day 9
Taking things easy today, as I'm feeling a bit under the weather. I head down to the centre of Hillsborough around half ten and spend a pleasant morning working in a tea room, feeling a tad out of place with my huge laptop.

I, for one, wouldn't have managed to scrape the cash together. The journey up last night was fine until ...
Katie and Dave's Wedding
... I went and said hello to her outside and I started crying and she started crying and she said it was the first time she had that day! We had so much fun at the reception. They played proud Mary and the Cha Cha slide. Their wedding song was New York and they played it at the end for the final song and then the do announced that the bride had a request and ...
