Volvo Days, June 2005

Well June last year was really a blast even though we had no vacation but were working more or less all the time. The initial three weeks were spent in Esklistuna at Volvo Days and then I went directly to Israel for four days before going to the southeast of Sweden for midsummer celebrations. Went to Jerusalem on the Wednesday prior to midsummer, then back to Tel Aviv and from there I took the flight back to Sweden to be home around midnight just before midsummer. Home was not the place to be last June so I took the morning train to Lund and from there I went with backseat boys in the firetruck Kurt to Aspö, an island just outside Karlskrona in southeast of Sweden. Midsummer celebrations were nice, except from all the mosquitos who really enjoyed partying on me..

Sitting behind the joysticks of a 70 ton excavator is quite of a feeling. It is more or less like a computer game to ride it and the enormous power of it really add a momentarily feeling of being huge. Surrealistic!
