Midsummer in London

Celebrated midsummer this Saturday, well technically it was on Friday but since they didn't give us the day off during Friday here in the UK we moved it a day. It was really nice, but I was out so long! Got out of the house around 8.30 to go and meet some friends and make our flower wreath, I think it is called but I could be way off here. It was much harder than we had thought it would be, and it took longer than we had planned. I blame the fact that we couldn't find any wires to use, we had to use sewing thread instead. But in the end we manage to make some. Though they looked pretty funny and we had to readjust them all the time.




People kept looking funny at us when we traveled in to Hyde Park, where the festive were at. But we were all pumped up so we didn't really care. Though there was some really lovely ladies that came up to us and told us we looked pretty.


Then we finally arrived to Hyde Park, an hour late. Poor Mikaela and Maria who had to wait for us an hour. Kind of fail seeing as this was the first time we met them, good impression right?
Anyway, Malin and Sophia had been to a Swedish store and bought some Swedish food and candy. It was so lovely and it made me so homesick!




They had a maypole, think it's called, that we danced around, which was lovely. Though it was a bit pathetic, they were only allowed to have the maximum height as 1,5 metre because of safety reasons. But still, there was a pole and that makes me happy.


And we played kubb. We had out second match against some English people, who didn't know how to play at all. The only reason why we lost was because Sophia accidentally manage to knock off the king. Though the English men hadn't knocked off any of our posts while we only had two left of theirs.




Didn't get home until around 1o'clock in the middle of the night, so I had been out around 16 hours straight. Yes, I was a bit dead during the Sunday.

I got hole in my fingers

Slow update is slow. 


Was very economical *cough* today and very cool. But now I am a proud owner of my very own HP House Tie. Even though it was quite expensive I would argue for it being worth it. I have been wantig one since forever, so having onw now before the last film feels pretty sweet.


I am meeting up with Sophia, Malin and one of their friends later today. We are going to see a movie, probably Bad Teacher, and hopefully I get off work in time to meet them for dinner. Otherwise I guess I have to eat something on the run.
