Midsummer and weightloss....
Right, so... Midsummer celebrations went better then expected. Well, apart from the regular angst and drama.... I don't get that.
Anyway, instead of bringing my folklore costume, I brought my student overall. Since everyone else had student overalls it felt like the right thing to do. And it is easier to be snarky and mean in a student overall... ;-)
It wasn't just us and Kiltfan plus his wife and kids. Oh no. Eo and her Rumanian hubby was there to. (They meet through World of Warcraft and now he's moved here. Quite awesome.) And M and K who are around there 40's and 50's and own a student overall each. In fact, K had his 50'th birthday not that long ago. Who said only young people could be crazy in a student overall? Just saying. *grin* And then there was J as well who had some tough times with family so it put a damper on the party at times, but he got help from friends, so I suppose it all ended well. :-)
Alright, so... Photos? Of course you want photos of crazy people in student overalls filled with patches and slighly drunk... (Well, quite drunk as the day proceeded... I took my first cider at 11am or 12...) Also, all photos are clickable for bigger, should you want to. :-)
Some of the partygoers. ;-) In the back, M from Rumania and J. Then there is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peting73 with his epic beard. And there is Kiltfan in his hat and his daugther L in the front with her very own student overall, custom made. *grin*
L sitting in her own chair with her own drink (lemonade made from pears). And as tradition bids it, flowers in her hair that Eo made her. :-) See Kiltfan sitting right next to his daughter there? Well, his overall was once as white as L's... But since tradition says you should never wash a student overall unless your in it... Well, I'll just leave the rest to your imagination. ;-)
peting73 and Kiltfan discussing the importance of beer... and showing Kiltfans son how a real beer bottle should look like... Boys should start early, right? Right. ;-)
Aaaand you probably wanna know what I look like in my student overall to, right? So here is a photo of me as well, just a slightly drunk at this point, but working on it. ;-) And yes, my overall was once pearly white as well. *grin* And that would be the skin of a real rabbit on my shoulder. Well, a third of it anyway.chigrima named it Putte once upon a time... On the other shoulder I have a piece of chain mail. My name-sake ain't Xena for nothing!
The view from Kiltfans house... If you go north enough in Sweden there is just woods, woods, woods... and hills and small mountains. Quite pretty though.
peting73, Kiltfan and his daughter L and Eo playing boule. :-) I was standing on the balcony taking the photo, so they couldn't run away! *lol*
Kiltfan andpeting73 in the kitchen doing what they do best... Create magic and damn delicious food... Excuse the fussy photo. They moved around quite quickly and.... I was damn drunk at this point. X-D
Didn't take more photos, since we mostly just sat around talking and drinking... and I got increasingly drunk. X-D I went to bed around 11pm, being the first to go to bed after the kids. I didn't drink as much aspeting73 did, but he can hold his alcohol waaaay better then me, and I am still pretty good. 6 strong ciders I drank, and some shots from Kiltfans wife... She seems to like me, even if I have some problems standing her. Strange. So overal it was a great Midsummer celebration, I'd say. :-)
It was an 8 hour drive there...peting73 drove the whole way there... I drove the whole way back. It wasn't very fun. Damn why did they have to move so far away? *grumble*
Right so... Since we got home me andpeting73 has started on a diet, Modifast (Swedish link, English link). It is a bit like the Cambridge diet that we were on around two years ago. I've gained weight since then again... Damn annoying. So now we are going to do this again. We'll be on this diet for about a month or so and see what it can do. It is hardest the first two or three days so right now, on day two, I am damn hungry. But I know it'll pass soon enough. And it'll be worth it to. I know.
My ticker:
And also... I am apparently Tom Kaulitz. *lol*

New and improved? Nah... Just the colour of the font that is changed. Nothing else. :-)

And they are important enough to care for, I think. *grins* Or give a proper burial, as one of my brother's friends did: at the last student party he went to, Sjöslaget ( the one that's on the Finland ferry) he gave his overall a burial at sea. With fitting ceremony and songs, I'm told. :-D

And thank you! So far so good, I say. We're both doing really good. Not that hungry and my weight is definitely falling off. ;-)
