Long time no seen...

Some pics...

Since last time a lot have happened and yet to little.

The most fun was that Jenny was here the least fun was that I got sick while she was. I got pain in my belly and had to go to hospital where they found out that I had a stone blocking my gall bladder. Hurt like hell! That's not just it... They told me that I had infection in other parts of the abdomen so they could not operate me in Negara since they had no intensive care.
After a few days of pumping in antibiotics but not enough help for the pain they sent me to the big hospital in Denpasar in ambulance for operation.
A few days later I got my operation and since then I've healed very well!
Thanks mom, dad and Jenny for taking care of the costs!!!
This is the reason I look more skinny than usual on the pictures.

So... I did not see so much of Jenny but she had fun anyway. Some time we spent together and it was so nice to see her. Luckily she already have her friends here so she can handle herself without me and Putu. She also helped a lot with the practical things like hospital bills and stuff.

And Sunshine ya... He have got 2 teeth (check the pics), started crawling and can stand up by himself now. He starts whining more and more but still it's more and more fun to follow his development. Since I was sick and have to work a lot after that I have not seen him as much as I wanted. Putu and him have been in the village without me 2 weeks.

Putu is fine and she is a lovely mother! But very tired with Sunshine sometimes. I can understand why.

About job and business... Still a fight to make some money but (like I say every time) it's feels very close that it will take air soon.
It is very stressy to always be short of money and have to borrow and pay back when I get some small income and I'm (we are) very tired about it. I've even contacted some of my old colleagues and bosses in Europe to check if there might be some job openings. But it doesn't seem so in the current world situation. It does not feel so good to go back to Sweden without job but I and Putu have talked about it. We decided to give it one more try (since I have a lot of stuff going) and if the situation is not a lot better by September this year we might go back to Sweden.
Well... hopefully you can call me Mr. Lice soon!

Anyway... here's some pictures for you to enjoy!


Putu in hat...


We went one day to check out the off-road competition in Negara.


The DOUBLE rainbow. Have you seen that before? (Notice how the colours are mirrored)


It has been a lot of ceremonies about a month ago. One of them, Nyepi, entire Bali is closed! I mean TOTALY closed... people are not allowed in the streets and even the airport is shut down. But for me this is the best day of the year. No lighs, no sounds, just relaxing and beautiful night!
Here the boys are fireing bamboo cannons to scare away the evil spirits. They use carbid and water to get explosive gas and then... BANG! You can feel it straight into the bones!


Fruit is good for dogs to... Gandhi loves papaya!


The decorations on the street during the holidays. Check out the blinking lights in mine. Is it not awesome?


Sunshine playing with the other (?) dogs...


He crawles so fast, so fast...


Another decoration picture with the beautiful sunset as background.


He have such long arms. So easy to get tired from never being able to relax.


Putu and Sunshine


Sunshine close-up.


His first small teeth! Riskorn (grain of rice) as mom says.


He sure knows how to crawl... He is like a homing missile to stuff he should not touch.


Tanah Lot in sunset... We do tourist stuff sometimes when we have visitors!


Me and my little Sunshine! (notice how extra skinny I am after operation)


Roasting coffee in Putu's moms kitchen over open fire. Shit it's hot! Tha plan was to send the coffee to Sweden for birthday gifts but the shiping was just to expensive for us. But now we have a lot of coffee loving happy friends in Bali!


We found this river about half an hour from the village and went there with some friends who was on Bali.


DAD! Please save me from the decorations! (Standard decorations on a Balinese wedding as you might remeber from our wedding pictures?)


Putu...


Sunshine's future occupation? Safe cracker?


He was so naughty... We put him in a plastic bag and he LIKED it! Hmmm... I see a future of him in dark nightclubs dressed in latex...


They both likes water...


Aunt Jenny visiting...


I also want to swim!!!

That's it for this time... as usual... "I will try to put up more pictures soon"... The one who's alive will see...
