We celebrated midsummer at Hannas place. Plenty of food and drink, and multicoloured lights.

At midnight songs were sung to celebrate my 30th birthday, and I got a book and a rice cooker. As an additional bonus I got pummeled with handfuls of pepper. According to Jan, an unwed 30-year old man is called “Pepparsven” and that’s how we roll in Scandinavia.
I was out running yesterday morn, and even though I’m keeping with the exceptionally light C25K program, I cought some sort of bug that left me zombiefied the whole evening. Needless to say I wasn’t as entertaining as I should have been, but the whole dinner was very enjoyable from behind my haze of nausea and vodka.
I’m thinking maybe mini-golf for birthday thingy? Not sure. Ought to do something and the sun is out, so maybe “golf for the pepper person” is a nice thing? Have to check if they’re open today..
