A KID FROM HELL

WTF, I just tried for fun if theres any networks nearby that I could use and holyschmoly, must be two guys few houses away that has a internet connection. Yeah, A kid from hell alright...
Our Bella was fucking grumpy from the getgo, prolly tired and had maybe little bit of fever as well. She was whining the WHOLE frigging time at the airport and doing exactly what was not supposed to. And then screaming when she didnt get her will. Jesus, she was EXACTLY the kid you hated and kinda felt sorry for the parents. Before the take off, of course refusing to sit the fuck down I sensed the oh so lovely aroma of cacaa. The planes backing from the gate and she takes a dump! As soon as the light when out I ran to the toilet and changed the diaper. She was tired already but ffs, she lasted about 5 and a half hours of whining, screaming, tossing, refusing and so on.. A KID FROM HELL! Thank God for the Thai Airways, they still serve drinks on board for free, so the worse pain (and a nervous brakedown) was taken away by some beers and whiskys. Kids passed out for a few hours and after that it was a little bit easier. Then came the 4hour minibuss ride to the house, in Huay Yang. It was ok, but the the fucking driver was about to fall asleep, constantly. And I swear all four wheels were off the road at some points.
Coming from the Scandinavian summer of ..tops 24 degrees to the mindblowing 33+ heat was actually kind of a shock. We KNEW it was gonna be hot, but fucking hell, it was like a baseball bat to the head. BUT a dip in the sea and a few jumps in to the pool helped big time. And some local beer tasting of course... Frigging Chang Beer is like rocket fuel, 0,64l bottle 6,4% and youll be singing in the jungle. So, I changed to Singha, it ONLY 5%.
Had some supadupa chicken with white pepper in a local "restaurang". Wrote "restaurang" because they tend to be their houses. To be told, we're REALLY in the middle of nowhere, so not much touristsnor that kind of places to be found. Anyways, my dinner costed food 80 an the beer, I think 70 bat. 100 bat is 2euros or 20 krones. Well worth the price!!! A dinner!!
The beach is about 400meters away and we took a walk with the kids. Went crazy over there! The good thing is that the beach is 40km long so the kids wont get away, by running anyway.
This is my father-in-laws laptop (and somebody elses netwo(r)k, hihi) so Im not really sure how to upload the pics. Im a Mac man you see. But I'll try to some pics as soon as I figure out this idiotic windows Vista....
Thats it for now.
ps. already dreding the journey back home... with the lil' lady from HELL!

5 main elements







THAILAND!!

Its packing time and we hit the plane tomorrow at 14hundred hours. You got the recipe for disaster there, about 10h flight with small children. Just gotta keep em busy somehow. Olivers cool, but Bella is not gonna sit down more than a minute. So, its gonna be alot of running around in the plane.... Father-in-law has bought a house over there in some little fishing village at the narrowest point of Thailand. We got a pool and the beach is about 400meters away. Air condition in the house if it gets too hot and at least you can get a good night sleep.
I must be the only person in Sweden who hasnt been to Thailand yet...

Going through old pictures

This is christmas morning. The track was his first present of the day and I made it ready before he woke up. Talk about excited little man. The face makes it all worth it. The pic below was taken in Alcudia, Spain and was just the loveliest day to walk about and have a good local tapas at a place we really had to look for. Me being the taxi here..

I cant be bothered explaining myself in Facebook and quite frankly I dont know why I do it here, prolly because this is more like a diary. Anyways, found some nice old pics and wanted to post them just for myself to watch I guess.

Finally a laptop..


This is what happens when you watch Discovery and fool about with the PS and Illustrator. Nice to have a laptop though, dont have to be sitting in the bedroom and waking the kids.
Hardcore packing tomorrow. Sandras back in business and the giant kidney stone was exploded from the pipes. So, shes gonna be the supervisor of the packing. A trip aint a trip without forgetting something..
