It was Jochem’s birthday yesterday which he spent with his tax lawyer in the Netherlands. I hope he got some good news because otherwise it does not sound like a fun way to spend your birthday! We celebrated Jochem’s birthday in Lund with my family this weekend as he returned back home after a month in the US and Australia. He got everything he needed; a beer opener with a count function and a blue tie with matching cufflinks. From me he did not get anything but I have until tomorrow to come up with a gift as he then returns back from the NL. Any good ideas?
What do you give someone who turns 37? I guess I will stick to his own saying “less is more” which he often uses when I go shopping. However, to go from less to nothing is a bit harsh so maybe I should get creative very fast!
I spent the day with a Dutch film crew who were here to do a film about the Swedish emancipation model. I really prefer the role behind the camera and felt as if I was talking with a frog in my mouth most of the day. I definitely have to use my Dutch more and read Dutch books to keep the language alive!
The kids also got to participate in the film but I kept Nils out of sight. You never know what he will say and yesterday he invited me to come to bed to read a story for him. When I arrived a really bad smell was hanging around!
- You invite me to come and read for you and then you fart? I said to him.
- Yes, I am fart-dangerous (fisfarlig) he answered!
