The Other Lady

The first day with my V70...
V70 and a Willy`s from the 2nd World War - 60 years of car history!

My Black Beauty, V70 `04. It is not for sale!

A friend of mine asked for pictures of my car. Because he knows I am addicted to cars. Yes, I am a real "autofil", and I am proud of it. I simply don`t feel well in a cheap car. And I am watching Top Gear at BBC every week - with my kids, of course. I mean - after all I am responsible for "bringing them up".

My friend (Erik) could not understand why I had a picture of my wife, and not my car. So here she is, my second lady, the black, swedish beauty: My Volvo V70 Black Saphire, 180 Hp, low-pressure turbo, 17" Thor alu wheels.

Isn`t she pretty?

Ptarmigan hunting

Bad weather, and not much ptarmigan. That is the conclusion
so far, after spending 8 days at 4 different places around Tromsø, hunting for ptarmigan. But after all; There are 9 frozen ptamigans stored in our freezer, waiting for X-mas evening to arrive....

The picture below is taken with my mobile telephone, so please excuse the low quality of the image. It is taken 7. Oct 2005 at Vannøya outside Tromsø, where we had a beautiful day ("T-shirt weather!!") with my friends from Round Table. We shot five ptarmigans this day (and one back window of a Volvo 240...! Stig; Shame on you!)

The upper picture is taken in Skibotn, close to the border of Finland, together with ex-tabler Stig, his Freelander and my dog. In fact, this was another beuatiful day - so why complain? Because it has been raing all the other days this autumn!

Shila, my dog (see another blog), has been working very well all season, she is just better and better. Pity she is becoming so old, soon ten years, but she has still 3 - 4 years left before she has to trap down the activity.
