Found the TV that I want. Sony 84” 4K. Amazing. A bit pricey though. $35,000 :-) Now, where’s the 4K content?

Harry Hole is not dead! Jo Nesbo’s Police is released in Swedish June 12. Can’t wait.

Just finished reading Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Journal 64 book. Outstanding Danish crime thriller that equals Stieg Larsson’s Millenium trilogy. Has an interesting back story about a Danish island, Sprogø, where “loose women” were locked up between 1923 and 1961. The only way for the women to leave the island was to be sterilized. This part of the book is based on historical facts. Incredible injustice and unbelievable something like that actually happened in Denmark.

What Happened When the Warden Forgot to Lock the Cell Doors in a Swedish Prison

More Swedishness. Thanks Kefyn!

Our dog Taz looks like the Lotto dog to the point that people call out “Wilson!” when they see him. Sadly, he is not as loyal as Wilson is… He is more the aggro type. Also, still waiting for him to bring home a winning lotto ticket!

My family gave me a voucher for the Lost world Epic abseiling and caving in Waitomo as a birthday present. I am not exactly the typical adventure type, so abseiling 100m into a cave made a little bit worried. Nothing to worry about though, it was a totally awesome experience. After the abseiling we spent 4 hours walking, crawling, and swimming through the caves until we finally reached the surface again. 

Pappa, Martin och Johanna: sa manga tack for presenten. En av dom absolut basta grejerna jag nagonsin gjort!

Swedishness. Absolute classic!

My father flew in from cold snowy Sweden (-10 degrees C at the moment) before Christmas to stay with us for a month. We took him up to the Bay of Islands between Christmas and New Year where we stayed in a Opua holiday house that we rented off the internet using Days in the Bay. It is a bit hard to rent off the internet as you never really know what you get and it is hard to judge from the web site photos as to what the quality of the accommodation is. In addition, my wife gave me a really hard time as she wanted a “proper” hotel! However, we were pleasently surprised, to say the least. The Opua house we rented was extremely nice, and the views out over the Bay of Islands were to die for. We spent the evenings BBQ-ing sea food on the deck and enjoying the views. I am back in the good books! This kind of accommodation beats any hotel. We will be back in the future.
