Bloody Hooligan!

Emma and I were once again out on the bike.. after eating too many doodles and chocolate, we thought that a good ride to the lake was in order! So off we toddled.. or well pedalled! zoom zoom zoom!

Actually after a little mishap with the bike pump on my front tire.. you see Emma had some how managed to deflate instead of INflate my tire.. but it was a slight set back and we just made out like it was totally planned and she was just after a little arm work out before heading off to work the legs! Total workout! Make sense right? lol 

Now we pedalled! I am very tempted to make some bananas to go on the back of our bikes.. especially considering we seem to bike through Moo Moo Meadows! I must admit, I do love watching these beauties.. and it was quite amusing as we were biking away, I went "chomp chomp chomp" at them coz they were munching on the grass.. and a couple of them looked up at me.. prolly saying.. I'll chomp you in a minute!

And now I bring you photos.. coz I know you love photos! 
How could you not.. photos are awesome!

We arrived at the lake and they had the jetty all out!
It's a floaty one so it is one that makes you feel all godly!
You know.. walking on water etc etc
Bahahahahahaha

Look sand!
Out at the end of the jetty, there was a parent and their kidlet.. fishing.
Pretty awesome! One day I might just grow some balls & go fishing!
Actually it's not the fishing part, but more the walking on that bouncy jetty.
I only made it just past the second sign you see sticking out.. so not far.

Don't mind if I do!
You are only allowed to grunt in certain areas!
Bahahahahaha
This is said second sign that I mentioned in the previous photo.
Once back on solid ground, we headed to the kiddies swing set..
where Emma decided to have some fun..
so much fun in fact that it made her feel ill from going so fast!
This series of photos is her going from fun to fast..
Fast meaning.. she jumped off while exclaiming..
"It's too fast!"

It was awesome and sooo funny!
I got sore cheeks (facial) from laughing so much!
Here is the little hooligan taking a moment to look out at the view..
after nearly losing her guts from going to fast on the swing!
Back to the pedalling we went..
when the little hooligan came to a screeching halt!
Yes, that is her making even more marks on our roads!
This is why the little hooligan came to a screeching halt!
I can't blame her.. that snail is beautiful!
We are gonna need to get her new tyres soon if she keeps it up!
We are now re-entering Hässleholm!
I love this sign.. the hot air balloon totally completes it!
don't ya thinketh?


And that concludes our bike ride for the day.. its pretty nice to get out and about, even though the weather isn't the greatest. It was even spitting a touch too.. threatening to rain but it held off, which was rather nice of it! It really is the simple things in life that make it worthwhile. 

So it appears that I have not posted a smashing photo of myself lately.. and well, I can't have you all forgetting what I look like.. so here is a photo that I took yesterday.. while out biking! We had stopped to have a look at some sheep. Hold the kiwi jokes please. Main reason for the photo.. my hair was looking mucho awesomeo!

Oh my goodness.. now I feel like I need to add a photo of Nemo, coz then the whole family is in this blog and that is as it should be! So here I give you a darling photo of the old fella flopping along on a walk before we head off on a bike ride!

It makes him rather sad that he doesn't get to go, but we still haven't really decided if we want to fork out the dosh for a trailer for him to come along.. no doubt he will just bark. And they are quite heavy.

Anyways, this week marks the start of Emma's 4 day work weeks! From now until she is off in mid July, she will have every Friday off.. which will hopefully mean that we do something a little fun! Where we can take lots of pictures and force you to look at them! LOL Fingers crossed the weather plays ball!

A Little Outing..

It is June.. and with June came cold bloody weather! A big serious WTF?! weather gods! I mean come on! I just go and buy some new shorts and put the winter jackets away and how do you repay me.. you send a bunch of cold days and nights our way! not cool at all. Get your shit together weather gods! It is supposed to be summertime.. where the weather is sweet and it makes me want to move my dancing feet! Instead.. I find myself huddled under blankets and drinking hot chocolates! 

However on Sunday.. Emma and I braved the cold wind.. and the wind was not only cold but strong! Gah! and went for a bike ride out to the marsh lands to check out the wild life! It was nice to get out of the house for a bit and see some babies! Yes babies! Baby geese and baby swans! Adorable! and some other teeny tiny baby things that were hard to see in the water with the single beam of sunshine coming down! But that's ok.. we saw them a little! 

A bunch of photos from our little outing!
Biking biking biking along..
it was kind of peaceful apart from the wind.
We arrived and were greeted by many lovely colours!
For a cold day it was pretty beautiful.
Up close with the vibrant colours!
Jealous?
Just a mish mash of everything!
Amongst the beauty we stumbled across a mumma swan and her babies!
Adorable!
I would definitely not like to meet the animal that made that print!
I love ducks!
Need I say more?
Swans exit stage..
errr...  left AND right!

This little guy found something to stand on..
which he then decided a good grooming session was in order!
We knew we had hit the goose area..
coz, look at all that poo!
Watch your step!
A little more walking meant that we got to see the geese..
however they saw us too and decided a quick exit was in order!
In the water they all go.. we didn't stand a chance!
Walking back to the bikes, I noticed that one had fallen over.
I said to Emma, "looks like one of the bikes have fallen over in the wind"
she responded with, "o no! I hope no-one has thrown it in the water!"
A flair for the dramatic perhaps? ;)

I rather enjoyed our morning out.. it's always nice to just get out and about with no real purpose other than to look at stuff. I am looking forward to Emma starting her summer break.. which starts in a couple of weeks by just having every Friday off and then mid July she take a full 3 weeks off! Which means what people? We are going to LONDON! and then STOCKHOLM! YAYERS! I bet you all can't wait for those blogs and photos! Gonna be epic! Oh yes, and there is of course Hanky Hanna & Billy-Goats nuptials! Which I have purchased the most perfect card for! If I do say so myself.. I am pretty awesome at picking things to give people.. I guess that comes with my natural awesomeness! Can't it be July already? Gosh! Altho, I shouldn't rush the year away.. the years seem to go by pretty damn quick as it is.. and it is a well known fact I keep ageing as the year goes! Can someone deliver me the fountain of youth already?!

Here's hoping this week brings some warmth! and Swedish strawberries... aaaaaaand new potatoes! Oh yes and ice cream from the wagon in town.. altho I think that is unlikely... BUT we have purchased a new ice cream machine, so hopefully that comes this week! This time with a compressor! None of this freezing a block thing! We have moved into the big leagues baby! hahahaha
