Morning FaWtL. Wishing ye all fair winds and strong drinks on another fine day.
My Dad turns 60 today, so we're celebrating with his favourite home cooked meal and desert. Me mum and I also put together a big, mixed box of treats that he likes, then wrapped it in wrapping paper and stuck glittery things to it. Yay for birthdays! :3
Seeing "ombudsman" show up in non-Swedish texts is kinda weird.
Is it? We have Ombudsm...en?ans? for a lot of things in Ireland, I always thought it was just a word for "official person keeping X in check".

Well, not counting Finnish, there's usually not a lot of words borrowed in from Swedish in other languages, so when I see one, they tend to leap out.
...sadly you keep misspelling "Smörgåsbord." ;)

I really need to move back south of the Mason-Dixon line. I miss it down there. North country winters keep a-gettin' me, as the song says.
Houston
Houston means that I'm a one day closer to you
Oh, honey, Houston
Houston means the last day of the tour and we're through
Well honey, you and God in heaven above
Know I love what I do for a livin', I do
Ah, but Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Yeah, singin' at the world's biggest rodeo show
Was a great time for me and the guys
Ah, but when I'm a way from you, honey
Time always never flies
And sleepin' all alone in that holiday hotel
Sure makes a cowboy blue
But here I am in Houston
An' I'm one day closer to you
Houston
Houston means that I'm a one day closer to you
Aw honey, Houston
Houston means the last day of tour and we're through
Well honey, you and God in heaven above
Know I love what I do for a livin', I do
Ah, but Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Yeah Houston
Houston means that I'm a one day closer to you
Aw honey, Houston
Houston means the last day of the tour and we're through
Well honey, you and God in heaven above

Morning everyone. Not much time to stay on internet until Friday or maybe Saturday... On both Monday and Tuesday I stayed for two hours of overtime. I plan to repeat that today and on Thursday. There is no overtime on Friday evening, though. I don't plan to go for overtime on Saturday or Sunday. Maybe next week.

Dearest, darling
I have to write to say I won't be home any-more
Something happened
To me
As I was driving home and I'm not the same any-more
Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
ah only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night
and that is when I saw her
as I pulled in outside of a small motel
she was there and so I walked up to her
asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where
Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
ah only one day away from your arms
She took me to a cafe I asked her if she would stay
She said okay
Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
ah only one day away from your arms
Oh the jukebox started to play
and nightime turned into day as we were dancing closely
all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms
and I caressed her, kissed her
told her I'd die before I let her out of my arms
Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
ah only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
but I love somebody new
what can I do
and I can never never never go home again

My sister-in-law and her roommate each gave the boy noise making gifts for his birthday. The following is an actual text conversation that resulted from these gifts, with notes in parentheses:
Me: You and Emily are both on my shit list.
SiL: Daleks are awesome! (Yes, she got him a talking, plush Dalek)
Me: So are spiders. Big spiders. (My sis-in-law is a severe arachnophobe)
SiL: I will make your death look like an accident.
Me: I'll make yours look like circus.

Ooh....... New York
Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenesNoise was always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocket full of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it from New York, New York, New York!
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy-cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocket full of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it from New York, New York, New York!
One hand in the air for the big city,
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it from New York!

When me and my brothers were wee ones, one of the things my parents would do for a Sunday activity was take a walk down to the canal and we'd watch boats go up or down the locks.
Trollhättan - town of excitement!

Then there's the first attempt they made at building a lock here.
So yes, one of our tourist attractions is a big hole.
