Another robbery?

A little while ago two police cars came to Gigantic Rock. They drove really fast and stopped at our little grocery store. Now I hear the police helicopter circling. If their was a robbery at the grocery store it’s not the first time. Just a couple of months ago a couple of guys made a hit. The last year almost every place of commerce within just a couple of hundred meters radius from our apartment has been robbed. The former owners of the hot dog shop sold their business because something like seventeen robberies in three months (it sounds a bit much but I think it was in that region).
There is something going wrong with Hising-Island.

The day after the night before.

Back drunk, wooden hat and skull bang, all of them translations from Swedish to English and all referring to the physical state one is in the morning after the night before. All of them also perfectly understandable, even translated as they are here.

Hang over? Can somebody explain that one to me? Hang over? Is it the drunkenness which is hanging over? Hanging over the date line from the day before to this one? Seems like a plausible explanation all though I highly recommend the English speaking part of the world to take one of our Swedish ones, just pick!

So yesterday we had the TRB. I came to Martins apartment a little early, around 1640h and the last time I looked at the clock, before crashing into bed, was at 0432h. 12h of solid partying. Haven’t done that in a while and to be honest it’ll probably be a while more before I do it again.

We did the town. We started off at Martins place then we went to Kellys, then to Kings Head, then to Smaka, then to Anders place. After that Camilla (whom we hoked up with before Smaka) went to 7eleven for some night snacks then we took the tram number 6 home.

As I’ve all ready said: 0432h was when I went to sleep. At 0900h I got up. Feeling a bit skev (änna) as we say here in Gigantic Rock. None the less I took the Boo out for his morning stroll. The weather was, and is still, beautiful and the air did me a whole lot of god.

Haven’t got any pictures to share with you yet but a lot of pictures were taken both by Anders and Martin so I’m sure I’ll have something for you all soon (I know you’re all dying to see the pictures, oh Tomas, oh Tomas please show us the pictures, please, pretty please).

Yes, that is about it. Need to get some food in my now. I’m thinking Kebabpizza…
