To finish off our last night in Helsingborg, Rotary took us out to dinner and then 10-pin Bowling before our lovely host mother Lena picked us up and took us to a friend's place, where she had organised for us to use her friend's jacuzzi. This turned out to be quite an experience as the jacuzzi was a balmy 38.5 degrees Celsius whilst the outside air temperature was -11 degrees resulting in just a minor 49.5 degree difference between my head and the rest of my body. The walk back to the house across the cold stone footpath wringing wet and in nothing but board-shorts could only be described as painful but the jacuzzi was well and truly worth it.

It has now been 3 weeks since I arrived here in the majestic land of Sverige and my English skills are starting to disappear. I think my brain is slowly switching over to Swedish but leaving me in a sort of Language-less limbo for the time being. My understanding of Swedish is improving; I can now start to discern words and give a general contexts to things being said around me but still can't construct complete sentences.
Arriving back in Ängelholm by train, I was greeted with 5 days of school finishing with a Rotary meeting on Friday, lunchtime. This turned out to be quite enjoyable as the speaker for the meeting was Lars Linström an Aero-consultant who spoke to us about all sorts of cars that he had been involved with throughout his life. He reminded me of my cadet captain Peter Marosszeky through his mannerisms and the way he spoke to the room. He was really quite entertaining given I really didn't have a clue as to what he was saying.
After 3 weeks it has finally snowed.
