So I survived the new years celebration this year as well. It is not that we partied hard, we hardly partied at al. But the rest of the people celebrating with fireworks were not to good with their aim. Celebrating with fireworks in the middle of a city is an experience, master George has compared it to a night in Beirut in the 80s.

Here are some pictures:

I am surprised that the guy in red keept all of his fingers, and that he didnt injure anybody.
He and his friends were rather wreckless with how they fired and aimed and threw the firework around.
I sound grumpy.... ;) but its anoying when the fun is wrecked by this rather dangerous behaviour.


             

 

If you want so see more they are at my flickr page.

However the evening was really nice, it was me and three friends from my Kung fu club so we talked, ate, drank a few drams of whiskey, talked some more, had snacks, talked more etc. untill about 4 in the morning.

Chirstmas also passed and it was very fine. I got to see my sister and her family again. Wich always is nice. We all got toghether at our parents place for a few days and then went to my dads sisters place for the big family get together on the 24th. I must admit that X-mas for me is all about getting together with family and friends since I have chosen a different path than Cristianity.  Anyway. There are pictures from this as well. 


This is Lukas my sisters son, we were playing peekaboo.Though I used a camera.


My father helping Lukas unpacking one of his gifts. Lukas is sitting with his dad Stefan.
I enjoy the scene and the exitement and anticipation especially in the childs body language
but it is also present in the faces of the two men. Maybe I should have had the flash on higher
setting but it works with a bit of under exposure.


  
Tina my sister watching Lukas playing.                                           Stefan helping his mother in law, my mother Agnetha, with
                                                                                                                  the computer.

Here a self portrait of me. Even though the 
white balance is completley wrong I still like the tone of it.


More x-mas photos


And some late photos from the kitchen of the Nordmark Principality tournament november 2008. 



Some of the meat....


Lady Cecilia the feastocrat. She was the concort of Lord Richad who was one of the autocrats.
So to get everything working I stayed in the kitchen and cooked heated and prepared. Hard 
work but great fun. She is also the autocrat for Double wars XXI.

The preperations for the feast started at friday evening.

 
Danne, Eira and I think Lia in the background helping out.                                                      Lord Richard making glögg.



The rest of the very few pictures can be found here.

So take care all. I hope too see a lot of you at coronation or at other events in 2008.
