Midsommar/ Midsummer

 Förra fredagen var det Midsommar. Vi firade med öl, mys, spel och trevligt umgänge på Emmas bakgård. / Last Friday was Midsummer in Sweden, which is the longest day of the year when the sun never really goes down and probably the most important holiday in Sweden. We did not celebrate it in any traditional way which would be for example dancing like frogs around a pole of flower,  picking seven kinds of flowers in even different places and put them under your pillow  to find out who you are going to marry, drinking snaps and so on... Instead we spent the day and night at my friend Emma's backyard, talking, listening to music, relaxing, drinking beer and just having a good time.

 Ludwig och Hanna var med. / Ludwig and Hanna were there.

 Johan slappade lite efter första grillningen. / After lunch people took the chance to nap.

 Ett härligt gäng! (Andy saknas ju dock på bilden). / A great gang! (Andy was also there though).

 Ludde nr. 2 stod för musiken och össssset. / Ludvig number 2 was the DJ and we keept playing Avicii's new song "Wake Me Up" which now is the soundtrack of Midsummer -13.

 Även min kära vän Lovisa som numera bor i Jönköping (så nära men ändå så långt bort) kom dit. / Also my friend Lovisa, who is now living in a town not so far from Gothenburg, was there.

 Fram emot eftermiddagen kom festen igång lite mer, det är en tradition vi håller på. / Later in the afternoon the party kicked in for real, a tradition we are keeping.

 Denna bild ser lite lagom random ut, snygga vänner har jag ju i alla fall. / I like this picture because it is kind of random but still people are so aware of it. I have some good looking friends.

 Lovisa och jag beklagade oss lite över att vi inte ses så ofta, trots det korta (cirka 20 mil) avståndet mellan oss. / Lovisa and I complained about the fact that we never visit each other, even though it is only 200 km between our cities (that is during the school year).

 Grillning! Ludwig (nummer ett) var grillmästaren. / Barbeque time and Ludwig was the grill master.

 Efter middagen följde lite olika lekar och andra påhitt. / After the dinner we played some games and joked around in different ways.

Senare på kvällen åt vi jordgubbstårta, det var ju ändå midsommar. / Later at night we ate strawberry cake. It was Midsummer after all and some traditions are worth holding on to...

Kvällen fortsattes med fest och dans och fler människor kom och hälsade på. En väldigt fin midsommar vilken förgylldes med övernattning och djurprogram och toast hela dagen efter. / The night continued with party and dancing and more people and friends joined us. It was a very great day which then continued with sleep over and hang over in front of Animal Planet the next day.
