that´s a birthday card for my lovely niece jessica - it´s her 13th birthday tomorrow

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this card I´ve done for katja´s grandfather

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for X-mas I´ve only done two cards

Hejsan,

I can´t believe it - time runs so fast. it´s already a few months since my last visit here.
I´ve done a new card today and thought now it´s time to write some lines again.

Let´s see...
in january I´ve been in Füssen together with Jessica for sightseeing, XC-skiing and
just doing nothing :-) it was a great long weekend and we´ve had a lot of fun.

in february I´ve been at a ABBA-Mania concert - it´s a coverband and they are
really, really close to the original - if you are interested have a look
http://www.abbamania-europe.com/eng_news.htm

I tried snowboarding for the fist time end of february in Austria (Maria Alm) and it
was almost as expected - It was just great!! I will do it again - that´s damn sure :-)

in between we had a few basketball games from Brose Baskets - now they´ll be in the
playoffs but you never now....
more interested I´m still in ishockey - I´m afraid but it sucks this year. They´ve been
without a sponsor for a time and it was so close that they´ve lost the license for next
year. in the last second it turned around and I hope they will play again and better
in autum. to be eliminated already in the quarter final of the play offs is painful.

in mars my nephew had his baptism. he is so cute!! I´ll put in a picture of him next time.

in total I´ve done a lot of training - ca. three times/week. I really needed to do more
and I´m feeling quite good in the moment. next sunday I´ll run (or more GO) the
Weltkulturerbelauf in Bamberg. it´s 4,4 km and I´m sure it will be fun.

and last but not least the best :-)
the motorbike-season started and we´ve been on tour the days around easter.
It´s great to drive around and just enjoy the feeling and the freedom.
in two weeks I´ll be on vacation with my TigerWolverine. This time we´ll want to
explore switzerland. I´m looking forward to the mountains - I already missed them
for a long time.

okay, this was again a looooong report. I hope I´ll find the time more often to write some
short messages :-)

good night

hej,
now the year 2008 ends soon. it´s unbelievably how fast one year can be over.

still i can remember when we´ve been for skiing in norway in january.... :-)
next I moved back to germany in april/mai. what was exciting as well.
the new team in hallstadt is really nice also when i cannot compare the sweeds
with them!! it was a great time in sweden and i´ll keep it always in my heart.
i get used to the germans again but not to forget swedish i read a lot of books.
end of may my friends chiara and michael got married in italy and i´ve been
there for a long weekend. it was great.
in july it was time for holiday - norway again but this time on/with my motorbike.
it was an amazing experience during ca. 4300 km - I´VE DONE IT :-)
end of august i´ve been back in sweden again to run the tjejmilen in stockholm.
it was a strange feeling to be just a visitor at my old home!
after this the days and weeks just passed by. since i´ve got ill in september
i know one thing for sure - live your life every day!!!
even if i´m feeling quite okay for now, i know it will be a hard next year as well.
but as we say in german "kopf hoch" - it will be an experience and a way i have to go.

now it´s time to close 2008 and i´m looking forward to this evening and the new year.
and that´s what i wish all of you

A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

puss och kram

I´ve been out for cross country last sunday
in oberhof. It was just great. It´s a really
another world - they have so much snow
I have not seen for a long time in Germany.
We´ve been out for two hours and it was
enough for the first time.
Next Sunday we´ll go there again.
I just wanted to share it with you all :-)
good night.... and have a nice weekend!!!

first christmas feeling

today I picked up all my christmas stuff from the basement and decorated my apartment. It lookes nice :-) I found a place for my big christmas-light-star from sweden as well - okay the window in sweden was perfect for it but it gives me a little bit a feeling from last year so I must find a place - it´s on the balcony door now.
I´ve done my FIRST FIRST christmas card today. If I work this speed, ojojojoj, I will be finished on easter maybe!!! so I have TO DO - not to think too much.
now it´s bedtime!
