So now it's midsummer day in sweden, the day of the year that the sun is up for the longest of the day and everyone got a excuse to drink Happy midsummer everyone (or what ever midsommarafton is in english)!!!
Thanks babu, and tomorrow we will burn witches (or is it bitches ? same thing ;-) ) on the fire ................................................................ Naaah just kidding, it is a doll made out of hay, and we fill it with fireworks. And to send "her" off to Bloksbjerg(Brocken to those who wants to know) we put a firecracker in the witches head. But even though we didn´t have the Spanish Inquisition, then we did have the witch process, that burned witches on the bunfire. So Sct. Hans evening is the last remnant of the old terrible practice, that first stopped at Christian the Fourths ruling period, since he burned the last witch here long ago. Even though the midsummer is again a lovely pagan thing
We celebrated by stupidly allowing our eldest daughter have 5 friends over to stay before they all go away on their summer holidays. That grew to 10 kids (not including our own). They have slowly been wearing my patience to 0.01mm thin! It's now 5 to 3am and they are not asleep yet. Luckily we are at the front of the house and they are all apparently intending to sleep at the rear of the property in tents in the garden. Lets see whether it rains and washes them in.
I've just saluted a finnish female friend who had to get back to Finnland because of midsummer's party! xD!! Ack! Too bad I couldnt get there with her
Damn, I was so damn unlucky, that I missed out the fun at Sct. Hans, since it could really have helped my extremely fuckedup mood, I had last Friday, after some serious bad hours with my mom. So it is nothing new, it just makes me pissed when somebody screws me over.
Every day there is an excuse to drink. If you haven't found it, you've definitely not looked hard enough.
