Moahahahahahaha
Min bror kommer att tacka mig en dag för att jag tagit tag i uppfostringen av hans dotter!
My Brother will thank me one day for dealing with his unruly daughter!

We have a Swedish au-pair!!!
När vi var hemma i Sverige var brorsan med barnen och hälsade på en kväll och berättade att dottern Victoria skulle egentligen prya vecka 8 men hade inte hittat något roligt. Omtänksamma som vi är och för att rädda henne från en vecka på pappas jobb (eller rädda pappa från henne kanske) föreslog vi att hon skulle komma med oss till England för att prya som au-pair (slavarbete och barnarbete i ett!). Sagt och gjort har hon kommit med och är nu här hos oss till nästa lördag då jag flyger tillbaka med henne. Vi har som en regel avskaffat svenskan hemma så nu hoppas vi på att hennes engelska får en bra skjuts (och att huset blir städat, maten lagad, disken fixad och skjortorna strukna)!
Hennes respons? "Öh what"!
When we were in Sweden my brother and his children joined us for a day in the house and they told us that his daughter Victoria was suppopsed to go on a work experience week on 22-25 February but had nothing arranged. Caring as we are and in order to save her from her dads company (or her dad from her) we suggested her coming to ours and get some au-pair experience (slave- and child labour combined!). Without further ado she packed her bags and is now here until Saturday 26 February when she will be flying back with me to Sweden. The rule of the house is that we have banned Swedish in the hope that her English will improve (and the house will be tidy, food will be cooked, washing up done and shirts ironed)!
Her responce? "Ah What?"

Vin Chaud or Moonshine?!?!
Why go to the Alps when you can go to the High Coast in the north of Sweden?! Had a fantastic week during half-term although it turned out to be quite quiet as the local skii slopes were not aware of the English holiday. We had to spend many miles on the snow-mobile instead and apart from the cold (down to minus 18...), it was mostly sunny and beautiful.
We had saunas and cut a hole in the ice as per normal where even Olivia jumped in. Luckily we had some warm water as well at a waterpark (indoor) with their cousins Victoria and Mårten joined us.

Olivias New Clothes
Vilken överraskning för Olivia (och Anton) när jag dök upp hemma i England dagen före Olivias scenframträdande som tvättanten Gert i "Kejsarens Nya Kläder" på hennes skola. Hon hade övat i flera veckor och älskade rampljuset. I den flickan bor det ingen fegis! Föreställningen sågs även av mormor och morfar.
What a surprice for Olivia (and Anton) when I turned up at home in England the night before Olivias performance as Girt the washer lady in "The Emperosrs New Clothes" at her school. She had been practising for weeks and loved the lime-light. That girl is certainly no coward. The performance was wached by granny and grampy as well.
