a letter to pernilla

PERNILLA!

today me and seydis went to the parc to do some winter sports. we brought two very big plastic bags from ikea to make it more of a swedish experience, rather then a canadian. they were well stuffed into my backpack and that is also why i look so pleased at the photo below. 

it was really really cold outside and even though both of us were dressed as if we were supposed to move into an igloo we got really cold only seconds after leaving our house. we even had to stop by at a café named chez boris to have a donut before going all the way to the parc.

when we finally got there we climed all the way up to the top of the hill. both of us looked out over the snow and i must say i felt like a real viking hero, with the ikea bags in my backpack. 

and off we didn't go. to our disappointment the ikea bags didn't work at all as they were as slippery as a pile of sand and we had to use both of our legs to drag us even the slightest centimeter. i must say that it looks like seydis has top speed in this photo but no, that is just an illusion. the ikea bag look really warm as well which is also an illusion. 

 

so yes. after this first failed attempt to do winter sports i decided to go and buy a real sledge and me and seydis decided to give it another try wednesday. 

how is barcelona? how is your shrimp studies? 

i really look forward to primavera sound and summer and neutral milk hotel and spending all mornings on the beach, after leaving the festival.

my new friend maiko might come along next year. we are actually getting married but i don't remember why. maybe to give me a citizenship or to give him a citizenship or just for fun. weird.

anyway, i'm going to drink some coffeenow and try to get warm after this extreme day full of cold extreme sport. i miss you! 10 000 kisses from the old dragon!
