Two week without any updates, what happened?
Well, first there was vacation. Spent some time with friends and family, and in particular congratulated my niece Nadja on her graduation (that's the Nadja you see occasionally posting messages in Swedish in the comments). We went far out in the wilderness, to a camp site in Svanisträsk outside Boden in northern Sweden, with no electricy or anything. Water barrel bathing + sauna + cold lake + friends + bright around the clock makes for a perfect combination. Plus a lot of singing and playing acoustic instruments. In preparation for the event several of us also learned to play the ukulele for a short performance for Nadja. It's a surprisingly simple instrument to play. If you already know guitar it's very easy to pick up. It took me about a week to learn all the chords with relative ease. They are also dirt cheap.

That was last week, this week on the other hand has mostly been wasted on being sick. I'm feeling better now though.

Well, actually it was anticipated to be "Få väl", but it seems my working computer just doesn't have swedish codepage installed.
Yes, it's g00gle. Or is it smth totally weird with that sentence?
Well, anyway, as you are rolling on the floor, I hope you're totally recovered

Heh, yeah I'm fine now. I can see how a "get well" could be translated to "f� v�l", but it makes no sense at all in Swedish. If I translate that back to English it would be "receive good". The most direct equivalent to "get well" would be "bli frisk", but "krya p� dig" is more commonly used.

Thank you for some svenska lesson
Actually, now I'm working for norsk guys, so I am thinking what language should I begin learning: norsk or svenska. I don't like norsk because they have too many different official languages inside one country, but svenska seems much more popular for me.
