TV and new shoes

We have finally sorted out digital TV and next week we'll get broadband. Tried to get new shoes today as well, but that would be too good to be true. They are ordered though and hopefully I will treat my feet and legs to a new pair of shoes next week!

The life in Sligo

We've been here for almost a month now and it's still strange. It will take some time to get used to this place. I guess being broke doesn't really help. We can't afford to do anything, and we stay in most of the time. So far we've been to the pub once... that's not like me at all. I think the rain and the lack of friends might be the reason for that though. We might as well sit at home and stare at each other, than sit in the pub and stare at each other. I'm not complaining though, it's pretty cosy to inside when it's cold and rainy. And we got plenty of board games and films!

Workwise I'm a bit bored at the moment, but that was expected. The lab is in bits still and I'm in the office most of the time. In the office I don't have computer properly set up yet. So far I've been carrying my laptop back and forth, but I hope to sort out a desktop this week.

It all sounds very pessimistic.... doesn't it?! Well, I'll tell you, this place will be lovely in the spring, and it's beautiful, honestly!!

new place

Since my internet connection is so freaking slow I can't be bothered to put the pictures of our new place in here.... though you can have a look at http://kajsadocdub.blogspot.com/ to see them. It's all in swedish, but not important.

New home

We have finally found a place in Sligo and we are leaving the Fair City tomorrow. We're gonna miss Dublin but it'll be nice with the lower rent and all the space! I will put up some photos as soon as possible.

Goran

Finished the book about Goran. It was a completely new genre for me. Very amusing. I think I will read more political memoirs. But now it's time for criminal novels for a while.

I want a pet chipmonk

This is a picture from a pet shop. They sell toys for animals, among other things they sell rat rope bridges. If you look a little closer you can see that they are also great for chipmonks...

Good weekend

Had a calm and relaxing weekend. Went for a walk with Jonny and Carina, since the weather was so good. We caught up in the evening as well for dinner at Balti, Indian place. It was nice, too nice... we struggled to fit some beer in our stomachs.

Yesterday I went in to town to do some shopping. Boring stuff, like headache tablets. Met up with Carina for some coffee and window shopping. Came home and turned the radio on for the big game.... Kalmar FF (the good team) vs. Elfsborg. Kalmar won and I was celebrating in the bathroom, that I was cleaning at the time.
