what is it with wierd guys in jumpsuits...

i just realized another jumpsuit horror story from when we were in Sweden last week.
Jonah, Marcus, Mia and I went to this special club night with DJ's, a band and a fashion show. The guys that put on the fashion show were all dressed in yellow jumpsuits. I think they thought they owned the place because they started the evening completely rude and as they consumed more alcohol they just got more and more beligerent. They were groping anything remotely female and making general asses of themselves. They ended up stuck like bees to honey to a drag queen that must have been on a salary to dance seductively at the party. Luckily he/she had a body guard close by for protection...

Saw the film Girl with the Pearl Earring. Liked it a lot. My kind of movie. Still have about 6 other films on my list of films to see.

A wierd guy came round yesterday to "fix my water heater". He looked totally official and had an orange jumpsuit and ID and everything. He checked my water heater and told me I needed some stuff repaired and then he could give me a 5 year certificate stating that my heater was safe at the price of 30 euros. I told him that wasn't possible anytime soon. He left and I asked around and found out he was just a scammer.
Freaks me out a little bit that I let him in the house. Yet again I feel like a stupid foreigner.

Sweden was Cold!! but we had an excellent time with Marcus and Mia Lind. And passing through London to visit Phil and Emma Togwell was a treat as well.
Now I am back at home. Jonah will come back in another week and a half. I am very glad to see Kati. And to be home is very nice as well. I look forward to all the adventures that await this next week and a half til Jonah gets back.
