Spent the evening with blogger friend Rami. Hot chilli garlic jumbo prawns, rice , sallad , wine in the kitchen with windows wide open for the al fresco feel :yes:

Rami is from Jordan and came to Sweden about 4 years ago , I think , all bright eyed and bushy tailed having invested heavily in journalism course in Örebro. Succeeded too, did well, and now has a permanent freelance job at Swedish Radio which had to be celebrated. But, there have been many challenges , trials and tribulations along the way , and last night's Rami was a bit jaded and cynical around the edges to say the least, sad to say :( Still .. after food and wine , the happy tales emerged again. Tales I love to hear about the beduins and the wind in te desert and secret places that few people know about. I heard about his madcap teenage years and student days. Rami wanted to see my pics from early days in Sweden in the 70s so I dug out my old album , the one my colleague , Dave, would always ask to flip through when he came to visit me in Falun when I was working there.

So that was last night. This morning Suwan called and invited me to a picnic on Långholmen. I'm still faffing around here psyching myself up to going.. takes me forever.. but now that I have posted a post , I feel I can leave.:)

Happy Saturday, wherever you are and whatever you get up to :)
