66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. That lost brake piston hasn't shown up.
I've been busy doing other things like replacing yet another CV joint boot on our old Audi and installing a water heater in the guest house of our summer house. And there have been out-of-school ceremonies and Dreamhack what not.
Anyways, this weekend is midsummer and it's probably the largest celebration in Sweden in the whole year. The alcohol sales skyrocket and we do silly dances around a pole dressed in leaves and flowers. Very pagan. The celebration is especially serious in the central parts of the country with heavy tradition including the traditional clothing, unique for each village.
We usually host a reasonably sized party in the summer house and this year we'll be 10+10 people. Half under 15 years of age, half over. It's always a blast.
The party begins on Friday with a herring lunch. Then it's dressing the pole followed by dancing and singing. Then we have coffee and cake. In the evening we have a barbecue and after that we play games. The neighbors also have a party and we join forces for the games and the coffee and cake that follows that.
So I'll probably be out of circulation for a few days ahead.
Here's a picture of a traditional Swedish midsummer's pole.
